Client Background
Client: A US-based multinational company
Industry: Courier
Areas of operations: Worldwide
Number of Employees: Over 350,000
Challenge
The client had older versions of Blue Yonder/Red Prairie Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). These legacy versions had many customizations and maintaining the custom modules was a challenge. They wanted to consolidate disparate warehouse systems (legacy, in-house WMS, older versions of JDA WMS, etc.) across the US and APAC regions to a single WMS platform.
Many of the client’s customers had multiple instances, and the client wanted Wipro to define a proper instance strategy to reduce operational complexities.
Solution
Wipro defined site-specific instance strategies for the client. These strategies were based on a global template-based rollout. Since many customers had their own instances, Wipro team demonstrated ‘how a site with multiple customers could be configured on a single template with industry templates pinned in’.
Wipro set up a microservices-based architecture so that any complex customizations required for business operations could be handled outside the standard product, and JDA WMS would integrate the core workflows with the microservices layer and labor productivity.
Wipro team successfully transitioned multiple sites with minimal documentations and business impact on the BAU team. We also configured and integrated the Labor Management Module (Workforce Management) to track warehouse tasks and labor productivity.
Implementation highlights:
Business Impact
Wipro enabled business process optimization for the client’s warehouse operations. Instance strategies, which were adopted based on customers’ industry verticals, led to increase in customer confidence. Wipro also helped the client identify KPIs to measure their WMS Success.
Outcomes include:
Due to the delivery excellence exhibited by Wipro, the client has extended the partnership with Wipro to enable rollout in their remaining 25+ sites.
Whenever you read the words ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Security’ in the same sentence, your mind probably wanders of in the direction of movies likeDie Hard 4.0 or Swordfish where uber-cool and suave hackers like Hugh Jackman trying to hack $9.5 Billion off the government from a computer with seven screens.
The recent increase in the frequency and impact of cyber-attacks have kept Critical Infrastructure companies on their toes.
Security monitoring has always been critical to protecting IT ecosystems but with the rise in IoT-enabled devices and connected systems, the fear of cyberattacks has grown exponentially.
