In addition, CSC worked with the client to develop a logical architecture and application map, thus allowing the team to apply Atlas Commerce Metaprise Software and establish the client as the “Channel Master” for automotive after-market products.
Results
The results of this project are expected to be lower inventories with higher service levels and reduced logistics and transaction costs. It also should provide the client with more accurate information to improve their decision-making processes.
