Problem Statement
Our client appealed to automate NetSuite and dispatch track using a bespoke website named Delivery Scheduler. They wanted to be able to establish transaction records (sales orders, RMAs, and transfer orders) in both NetSuite and Dispatch Track. Dispatch tracking software fetches all information pertaining to the dispatch, transportation, and delivery of items. Stakeholders such as logistics teams access this information via cloud-based servers and data centers to monitor the entire process and issue real-time alerts and notifications to the clients.
To maintain effective and efficient delivery operations, dispatch tracking optimizes delivery routes while giving total visibility between important stakeholders such as customers, vendors, and logistics partners.
Hence, users have to manually enter the same data in many systems at the same time, and there is no automation. For the firm, this was a major issue in their business operation.
When you place an order in NetSuite by choosing an item and clicking a button, it must also be made in the dispatch track. Additionally, any changes in the dispatch track should be reflected in NetSuite. Observing this as a major challenge, they wished to automate the dispatch track as well as NetSuite.
Our client has both multiple and shared routes. They have a list of orders to deliver each day. There are minor differences in the quantities. Earlier, they had to track each order manually, which took hours. After scheduling an order, the firm must alter it and manually calculate the items. These are some of the challenges they faced.
What We Suggested
The specialists at Jobin & Jismi reviewed the company’s needs and came out with a perfect plan.
Our experts recommended creating a new page named Delivery Scheduler. Delivery scheduling is the process of determining details of deliveries including types of orders and locations.
When employing several deliveries for a single sales order, sales quote, or purchase order, delivery schedules allow you to track order line quantity.
We divided the routes into shared routes and automated them using the maximum threshold. With NetSuite, a custom page is created for scheduling delivery. All goods in the sales order are displayed on that particular page. By ticking the checkbox, the client can specify which items they want to purchase together, so that only the checked items are sent to the dispatch track and an order gets placed. NetSuite updates these order details.
When changes are made in the dispatch track, details such as route and delivery date are all updated in NetSuite. If they want to cancel the order in NetSuite, they can do so by clicking the cancel button on the dispatch track.
As a result, they can use Delivery Scheduler to handle both NetSuite and dispatch track.
Our experts encountered an issue in managing shared routes, but they resolved it by employing a capacity calendar. It includes the maximum order to deliver as well as information about the recently created order.
