Sapphire Software s Solution Sapphire proposed a solution based on distributed architecture. Sapphire carefully selected the interfacing methodology that would be easy to scale up, and that could keep up with the growing needs of Logistix. A Customer ERP Logistix customer s SAP ERP system is responsible for initiating the whole chain of transactions. This system is connected to Logistix ERP system through a dedicated T1 connection. Once the deliveries are created, they are printed for picking.
Picking is performed manually.
When the items are picked for a delivery, the box containing the items is delivered to the QA station. At the QA station, a QA person scans the delivery into the QA system. This system verifies that all the items correspond to the delivery, and that the shipping information is valid. If every thing is OK, the shipping label is printed. The shipping label is then forwarded back to QA, where it gets printed.
