    Need

    Replace the legacy IBM AS/400 system with a trustworthy tailor-made sophisticated software solution to handle all company’s internal and external tax documents and statements (invoices, etc.).

    • Inventory Returns
    • Receiving
    • Product Interface

    Also, we identified all necessary interfaces with other 3M systems and implemented for each one either batch or real-time communication, according to the special needs of 3M.

    Need

    Automate pricing and product marketing policies.

    Approach

    Having studied and analyzed the existing user roles, operational workflows and functionalities of the price auditing procedures, we designed a custom software solution to allow 3M Marketers to submit prices and marketing policies for Products of 3M for approval through an Audit Chain of one or more Auditors. Once a Price Page is approved by all Auditors, the prices are finalized and uploaded to another 3M system.

    Solution

    • replace the existing AS/400 application,
    • improve drastically the whole price audit procedure,
    • save valuable time for the 3M Marketers,
