Wenger's public website was developed by the BCD WebSmart consulting team. This site allows customers to access products and information and uses flash which communicates with the back end using XML. The link on the bottom of the page that says “HTML” will take you to the “HTML version” of the site which is similar except served in HTML. The XML used by flash is interpreted to generate HTML instead. This site is primarily for users who don’t have flash or who don’t like flash. Read more »

uniPHARM recently implemented a major internal ERP package with the objective of improving the organizations ability to service shareholders and customers. Most of these customers are pharmacies that order pharmaceuticals and consumer products directly from uniPHARM. Previously, these orders were processed via an Electronic Order Book (EOB) package. This required each pharmacy to install and configure this software on a local PC. Orders were transmitted via e-mail resulting in a variety of problems associated with such an old, unreliable system. This system did not provide uniPHARM’s clients with real time data, validation, pricing or order confirmation. It was also unable to provide alternative products if requested brands were unavailable.

The Delivery Order Management System provides functionality to manage delivery orders to be shipped via Sea Vessels or Air Shipments. Parts will be entered into the system for an order. These parts are then used to load into containers. These containers will be loaded into the appropriate vessels which will be shipped and delivered to the proper destination. History records are maintained for each part, container and vessel so it is easy to track the progress of any entity in the system. Read more »

Murray City, Utah (population approx. 50,000) is adjacent to Salt Lake City. The Murray City web site has recently been redesigned and revamped providing improved information access and on-line applications. The On-Line Utility system was one of the applications that Murray City wanted to move directly onto the iSeries platform. This provides real time access to data and eliminates using another web application server and the associated costs for hardware, software, and programming. Hosting this application on the iSeries also means that the Murray City IS group can maintain the programs using the WebSmart IDE. Read more »
