THE TASK:
Importer X and subsidiary Y import goods such as GoPros, night vision devices, and camera equipment for a discount store (importer X), as well as for various technology dealers (subsidiary Y). Importer X had to meet fixed deadlines at a discount store. The suppliers therefore had to be monitored via several query steps (Cargo Ready Date, QC Date Closing, etc.). Instead, subsidiary Y ordered unit quantities that could change over the course of production. Some of the finished goods were shipped in advance by air freight so that the quantities of goods to be ordered and documented could be reduced. The task was to divide orders and jobs in a way that would guarantee a comprehensive overview of them.
