VelcoWare : A Warehouse Manager
1. Problem Statement
With the impressive evolution of telecommunications in the past few years and the variety of services
telecommunications operators can actually offer to users and providers, electronic devices supporting such services
have registered exponential growth rates and the combination of such devices to support personalized solutions is
becoming difficult to manage and support.
VelcoWare is an application that has to deal with the management of a warehouse of electronic devices supporting
telecommunications services. Management of such warehouse includes inventory control, automatic ordering of goods
and a full computer support to optimize the usage of the warehouse space, based on different parameters. It should be
possible to arrange the warehouse items according to different criteria (ex. price, kind, brand, color, or others) or, more
important, according to one or a combination of different rules. For example, marketing rules: devices that are subject
to ongoing promotions or are bundled in a same promotion must occupy adjacent positions. Other rules can be
technical, for example, devices that are usually combined to support a specific technical solution are to be put together.
The application should interface the following systems:
Marketing, from which it will receive updates on marketing strategies and ongoing promotions and requests of new
products (Sales forwards these requests to Marketing) and can use such updates to reorganize the space;
Suppliers, towards which VelcoWare will issue orders when minimum edges are reached or when a predefined
number of requests are received for a specific product not dealt with before;
Sales, through which it will receive updates on solutions to customers common problems and can reorganize the
space accordingly.
As warehouses are local to stores, the system must be parameterized enough to allow the use of a combination of
different rules aiming to optimize the support given to the warehouse workers and to considerably accelerate delivery of
goods, specially for on-site customers.

The business process of VelcoWare is distinguished into 3 different activities (see Figure 1): Ordering, Space &
Inventory Management and Inventory Control. The following sections will respectively tackle each activity in detail.

2.1. Ordering
Ordering (see Figure 1) is started by the warehouse Foreman to create different product orders whenever predefined
products availability edges are reached or when requests for new products (not dealt with before) are received from the
Marketing. Once created, orders are to be stored and managed by the system. The Foreman can print out the created
orders and forward them to suppliers by different means (fax or others). In this case the Foreman will update orders
information, each time processing status changes, until fulfillment. Otherwise, the Foreman will be able to place
orders, directly into the suppliers systems, in case such systems are integrated with VelcoWare or allow placing orders
on a web site, in such case the system will automatically manage the workflow of exchanged events between both
parties (client/supplier)1. Ordering activity correctly terminates when ordered products are actually accepted and
delivered on–site.
2.2. Space & Inventory Management
The Space and Inventory Management activity (see Figure 1) is started upon the completion of products delivery
(Ordering activity correct termination), products outgoing from the warehouse, or updates received from Marketing or
Sales respectively on marketing strategies and ongoing promotions and on solutions to customers common problems
and needs. The Space & Inventory Management activity, as the name suggests, is two fold: manage the warehouse
space in an optimized manner according to one or a combination of different rules and manage product inventory
consequently.
As for rules, these can be related to Marketing (Bundles and actual promotions), to Climate control warehouse space
Allpack offers both climate controlled and non-climate controlled storage to provide you with the most economical solutions available. Please let us know if your items need to be stored in a temperature controlled environment.
