5. Accompany software development
The result is the factory acceptance test, which certifies the maturity before delivery.
Our services
Accompany the procurement of software licenses through technical purchasing
Hardware selection (servers, terminals, on-board units, printers, etc.)
Support in dimensioning hardware and network (sizing)
Monitor delivery and provision of all components
Clarify details of the software design phase
Monitor development tests
Manage the deployment of the system environments
Plan and control development-accompanying simulations or emulations
Define code delivery for necessary additional developments, patches, releases
Individual adaptations of the SW parties accompany and
Perform factory acceptance
Your benefit
We take on the quality assurance measures for you during development and ensure code reviews and unit tests for the developers. In addition, technical and organizational prerequisites for tests and emulation or integration with other IT systems must be created, which we actively support.
We also ensure the optimal procurement and provision of software, hardware and network and their correct delivery and proper installation.
In addition, we regularly carry out controls on the development progress, which end in the factory acceptance, which certifies the maturity before delivery, since all unit tests are carried out by the software house + are documented.
6. Provide and configure software
The result of the phase is your logistics software configured for operation and ready for testing.
Our services
Have the configuration trained according to the guidelines
Derive + assign configuration tasks
Clarify the values of configuration parameters for structure parameters (storage areas, ...), strategies, threshold values, dependencies, interface parameters, roles / authorizations
Document the configuration for each system
Monitor configuration progress iteratively
Have the system configuration approved by the software supplier or internal owner
Plan for master data cleansing early
Master data enhancements e.g. for storage locations, address master, tariffs, routes, etc.
Duplicate cleaning using database tools
Your benefit
We manage the system configuration and clarify parameters in the value areas so that your software can be set by key users and IT administrators.
As soon as your logistics software is installed, the configuration can begin using sets of rules. This includes, for example, the derivation and maintenance of storage locations, transport relations and peripheral devices such as scanners and printers for your lists and labels. We pay attention to the completeness and documentation of these settings for each baseline.
To strengthen the master data , we can help with database tools and students, which accelerates the maintenance of the article master or roles and authorizations.
7. Perform software tests
The result of the phase is the approval for pilot operation and commissioning.
Our services
Fix test objects and test goals
Create a test concept (script)
Establish test procedures
Create test organization
Train the test team for tests
Create test cases
Generate test data
Coordinate tests
Carry out tests (GUI and function tests, interface tests, integration tests, system operation tests, emulation tests, migration tests, load / performance tests, regression tests, system network tests / availability tests
Give approval
Record claims for defects
Your benefit
For quality assurance purposes , we offer you tests based on a test script that has been created beforehand and which systematically lists all content-related and organizational aspects of the test phases.
We take on the creation of test cases using decision tables and heuristics. We then train your key users to test them. Our parallel test coordination with professional test tools such as HPQC, OTM, etc., ensures efficient execution of the tests, the test results of which we evaluate and, in the event of deficiencies, have them remedied + regressions until they are practical.
If storage / conveyor technology is controlled, a system network test must also be provided. The formal acceptance should only take place after an availability test with 100 + x% operating load has been carried out successfully.
8. Carry out training for employees
The results of the training + coaching are well-trained employees on site.
Our services
Identify employees as multipliers
Individual training for your project team:
- Write specifications correctly
- Develop test cases
- Perform tests efficiently
- Prepare training documents
- Provide support in the warehouseAnalyze training needs
Define training content for each role
Create training documents
Create video-based self-study courses
Create a training plan for each participant
Carry out training courses on the site
Create exercises for the training system
Schedule repeat training
Check training success
Your benefit
The training courses offered by many logistics software providers are aimed at academics, but not for employees on the shop floor. With training courses for multipliers / key users , we pass on our know-how from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce adult education in a concentrated manner in order to write specifications yourself, develop test cases, carry out tests efficiently or hold trainings in the warehouse as multipliers themselves and create video instructions .
We are happy to take over the hourly training planning for modules and users, including alternative and repeat training.
Every software can only be as good as it is understood by users and used correctly, which is why we support them with exercises and check the success of the training before go-live.
