could take at least several months. Besides, we had to take in mind the time for store filling and its promotion at the end. That’s when we’ve got an idea to integrate Acumatica and Walmart. Tasks for the MVP module version

1. Creating a product for Walmart

2. Current availability information

3. Receiving and recording order information in Acumatica

4. Transfer of delivery information

5. Order processing

The MVP version of the plugin was developed in 2 weeks.

This was quite a simple project, so it took us two weeks to develop it. From our side, the team consisted of one developer and a project manager, responsible for their processes. Our client, Acumatica integrator, conducted the smoke-testing.

 

The next stage will require the development of the following functionalities:

• Automatic products processing in Wallmart, after the same process in Acumatica;

• The ability to partially modify the order after its registration and prior to shipment.

data?

We used Microsoft Azure to develop a web portal. We included all the data on the goods in the portal database and generated RFID tags. This allowed us to access the web portal from any device anywhere in the world. For example, in a company store :)

How to scan RFID tags in the stock and in the store?

For this purpose, we purchased Nedap’s RFID Handheld  Readers !D and connected them to the iOS-based smartphones. For smartphones, we created an application that processes tags and exchanges data with a web portal. The advantage of smartphones is that it is easier to update the application and you can add additional functionality that is lacked in conventional RFID tag readers.

How to control balances in stock and in stores?

For the web portal, we created a function that carries out all the calculations. Now, the store employees can easily control the physical balances in just a couple of minutes. The application automatically decides which products need to be ordered from the stock, and places an order on behalf of the store. The regional managers have an easy-to-use tool that controls the rules for replenishing stocks in stores.

efficiency

Our client, the Telecom Services Company, is located in Bahrain. This company employs more than 350 people, 340 of which are employees of field teams. They use 170 vehicles for work. The tasks of the field teams include telecommunication networks services, conducting optical fiber in private homes, offices, and business premises. Therefore, the main tasks of the client were field services management.

To solve this problem, it was necessary to do the following:

1. To implement GPS monitoring to control the position of the car, as well as its daily mileage, and fuel consumption.
2. To develop a system that will distribute tasks for teams and account for their work shifts.

We divided the project into several stages # 1 GPS vehicle monitoring

We chose Teltonika FMB001 GPS trackers as tracking equipment. The machine tracking system was implemented by .Net and JS plus Angular technologies for the frontend. The connection of GPS trackers with the system was resolved using the Rest API from Teltonika.

# 2 Control system and management of field teams

This system consists of two parts:

1. A mobile application that is installed on Android OS tablets. It was developed with JS and Angular. The field workers use this app for reporting.
2. Portal for managing work teams. The portal receives team reports, distributes tasks and tracks data from GPS trackers. We implemented it with .Net and created an API.

pallets.

Secondly, it was necessary to implement seamless recording of the inventory being transferred from Storage to Production warehouse. It was decided that the best approach was to utilize RFID technology to achieve main goals.

The main problems and our solutions

It was decided early on that each pallet will be equipped with 2 labels on the opposite side of the pallet, to ensure that each pallet will have a label on the left and right side of the pallet, to ensure that RFID Gate has a better chance of capturing the data when the forklift drives through the gaste designated as “transfer” gate for moving inventory to the production. On the hardware side, linux-based RFID computer was chosen to operate a single custom-designed RFID gate, on the mobile side, Intermec RFID handle attachment was selected for the Intermec-based mobile handhelds. Finally, RFID printers were chosen to print RFID labels, doubling up every label that is sent for the printing. Since the cost of the label was a concern, 128 bit RFID tags were chosen to store part number + lot number combination. Quantity information was initially needed to be stored in the label as well, but later it was decided that due to tag storage limitations Quantity information will be dynamically associated with each tag on the server and not on each label itself.

and strategic plans for its development. WMS (Warehouse Management System) is a software application designed to control technological operations inside in real time. The WMS usually receives orders from the host ERP system, manages these in a database and delivers them to the connected control systems. In this regard, we would like to share one of our projects that was completed a few years ago.  Task: Creating a stand-alone cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS)

The goal of the project was to create a stand-alone cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS)  - system that would easily integrate into popular cloud based ERP systems. The initial stage of the product was to integrate with the first WMS system to exchange Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory, etc. and extend ERP Functionality to mobile devices. This could allow users to use mobile scanners to do basic inventory management transactions that would flow right back into an ERP. This was followed up later on by a second stage: integrating into a second cloud-based ERP system. This was supposed to become a complex system that could be provided as a service to other customers.

testing, and implementation of new functionality;

Integration of third-party services via API;

Further adjustments and customizations for the client’s end-users;

Updating customizations for new releases of Acumatica.

In the beginning, we had to dedicate more time and attention to the general Acumatica functionality specific to this industry. In time, though, we began to dedicate more and more of our efforts on the custom requirements for the individual end-users of the product. On this project such processes as testing, analytics, as well as team management take place on the side of our client. We communicate through Slack and Jira and the tasks are mainly set by the owner of the company with some random tasks coming from sales-specialists.
