Major Projects


We have been involved in many interesting projects in various industries such as, Large Databases
Transportation, Manufacturing and Wholesale, just to name a few.

We work closely with our clients to define the problem, design a solution, and a strategy to implement it. Most importantly, we create a clear set or parameters to measure our results.



The following are brief descriptions of some of our most significant engagements. A large segment of our clients base are multinational corporations with operations worldwide, our systems are in use in virtually every country in Central and South America.




Large Databases - Parts Pricing and Quoting System


PROBLEM: Our clients were 3 heavy equipment multinational corporations, these firms are industry leaders in the fields of Construction, Agricultural and Mining Equipment. They were publishing their parts pricing catalogs in book format, the books were big and difficult to use. Quoting was done by looking for items in the price book and then doing all the necessary mathematical extensions manually, such as multiple parts, dealer markup, importation costs and conversion to local currencies.



The manual system was error prone and very slow, additionally it required vast amounts of man hours.



SOLUTION: We developed a software program to provide a better way for quoting spare parts and accessing technical information. The average number of spare parts for any of these companies is over 500,000 items. Our system replaced all manual methods of pricing spare parts, replacement and technical information, now they can produce all quotations with a user-friendly system that does all necessary calculations to produces a final price in their local currency with all the markups in place.



The system has been implemented in almost every country in Latin America greatly improving their productivity and customers service.

Transportation - Equipment Control, Billing and Payroll


PROBLEM: A regional transportation company needed a way of tracking their equipment, it was critical to know where each container, chassis and truck was at all times, the owner of the container and when it had to be returned. With operations all over the eastern United States, terminals in three states and with over 100 trucks on the road their logistics and dispatch centers were overwhelmed. Billing for each trip was created 7 days after the trip was completed causing a series of cash flow problems. Because of the unique requirements of independent drivers pay structure, driver mileage logs had to be added manually before arriving at an accurate payroll, this process was very time consuming.



SOLUTION: We designed and implemented a comprehensive system to keep track of all the Equipment in use or available in all terminals, the system was used on a 24 hour basis. Dispatchers in any terminal are able to know exactly the status of any truck, chassis or trailer at any given time. We added a comprehensive billing feature to the system, this reduced the time between the completion of the trip to producing the bill from 7 days to 1 day, thus improving their cash flow. Next, a complete driver payroll module was added with many features specific to the trucking industry, driver mileage logs were computed instantly at the end of the week. Finally a complete suite mileage and usage reports were added to be used by management.



Inventory, Manufacturing and Accounting system for an international manufacturer of Air Conditioning Test Equipment


PROBLEM: A large manufacturer of air conditioning test equipment was using a leading customizable accounting system but needed replacement before the year 2000, the system served them well in the past but management realized the need for a Y2K compliant system, a primary goal was to incorporate the manufacturing aspect or the business more tightly into the system. The network infrastructure was unstable and unpredictable.



SOLUTION: Installed a mayor upgrade to the accounting system and ported all the necessary modifications done over the years, some features changed and new were introduced. The manufacturing, inventory and distribution system was completely changed and a complete new set of management reports were introduced.



Jewelry and gold wholesaler

PROBLEM: They had a manual system for tracking sales, accounts receivable and most importantly for their consignment sales, all systems were manual and highly dependant on the accuracy of the sales staff, as the price of gold changes every day, daily prices adjustments were required to all items.



SOLUTION: Designed a customized software to track sales, accounts receivable and all consignment sales, control over pricing was centralized and tracking of outside inventory in consignment was greatly improved.
