The Challenge
They have a Legacy ERP with Foxpro database. The ERP is completely intranet based, and there is no provision to web enable it. They receive about 15,000 orders a year from about 1500 customers. Due to this large volume, their customer service is overloaded with calls and emails from customers on status of orders, shipments, etc. The customer wanted to have a system that will let their customers view their orders, invoices, shipments, delivery notes, outstanding credit balance, etc. on the web. The system should involve no manual intervention, and all requisite data transfers and synchronisation from their ERP to web should happen automatically. About 12 types of data are to be synchronised without upload overlap. |
