Approach
Rishabh Software’s team designed a customized application for automating supply chain and logistics process. BizTalk server was used to manage the invoices from the legacy system and the application database for better planning of dispatch.
The application enables the enterprise user to select the courier company and the application also automatically calculates the cost of dispatch considering various government rules and regulations. It also stores the invoice number and updates the client in order to facilitate the user to track the courier in real time. The solution also provides intuitive reports for better analysis.
