Mobile network operator supply chain support software

The project for P4 required the implementation of a new central application and its subsequent integration with existing IT systems. The goal was to ensure communication with sales and WMS (Warehouse Management System) systems.

The aim was to largely automate the process of supplying the operator's entire extensive distribution network. According to the internal security policy and access to ICT systems, employees must have access to applications according to their level of authorization. Due to factors such as the size of the project, the nature of telecom network operations and the company's security policy, the project required all solutions to be installed on P4's infrastructure.

Key challenges

• Centralized product information database.
• Integration with WMS system.
• Demand forecast mechanism.
• Automatic generation of proposals for supply plans.
• Approving, accepting, and editing products in the supply plan.
• Preparation and ordering of purchase orders for products.
• Preparing and sending production orders to producers.
• Integration with SAP for order management.
