Business Process Automation: Deposco eXpandable Platform

According to a 2007 Gartner report, business process agility is one of five technology areas businesses should focus on as the sources of technology-enabled supply chain innovation. With Deposco’s eXpandable Platform, we help you achieve the agility required to surpass your customers’ expectations.

Even the large, traditional supply chain management software companies haven’t been able to address every business’s unique processes. Worse, enhancements to these products typically take six or more months, and new versions released by the software vendor are often incompatible with the changes you’ve made to the system.

"Some [supply chain management software] vendors have assemvled many of these different chunks of software together under a single roof, but no one has a complete package that is right for every company." --CIO.com, ABC: An Introduction to Supply Chain Management

Our business is providing you with the supply chain tools to do your business. That’s why our solution has a flexible and open architecture, so that you can customize it to match your business needs. And we work with the systems you have in place now to do this.

The Deposco eXpandable Platform (DXP) helps companies rapidly streamline their supply chain processes through several unique capabilities. For example, let’s say you want to change your workflow to incorporate special packing procedures and labels for a customer with unique demands. Using DXP, you can set up a workflow process that directs your staff accordingly and prints custom labels. If a certain product requires special handling, you can create a custom workflow process using DXP that directs workers to perform additional tasks.

If you want to share some information about orders with one of your suppliers, but not other information, you can design the process in DXP, and share the information through our Extended Enterprise.

The Deposco solution leverages a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and web services to quickly connect with legacy and ERP systems or business solutions like Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or Peachtree Accounting. That means you can integrate information from your legacy systems with your newly designed business processes.

Deposco’s open-architecture is exposed within DXP, enabling our services team, your own developers or a third-party consultant to change existing or implement new functionality. If you prefer to hire your own Java developer, that’s the only cost you’ll incur to customize our system. That means you don’t have to come back to us for software enhancements (unless you want to!).

DXP requires no additional investment in hardware or software, nor does it require any lengthy implementation processes. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection, and you will be on your way to supporting your own unique supply chain processes.

Using DXP, you can quickly create new processes, rules and relationships, or you can tailor Deposco’s out-of-the-box business processes, rules and supply chain relationships via simple point-and-click configuration.
