Pulse 2.0

@Andrew Kent (Unlicensed)

• Connected the Pulse Web App to the new back-end

  • Created a design community of NGU “power users” to get NGU feedback more quickly on Pulse 2.0

• Initial instance for upfront sales, with multiple delivery methods: a user can create a customer, sell them products, and fulfill the order by either delivery or collection

Next big design priorities (which we will be getting feedback on):

• Product Configuration

Free stock assignment UAT completed with representatives from Kenya and Rwanda NGUS

Free stock assignment pilot rollout planned for mid-April, allowing time for high-priority improvements to the free stock forms identified in UAT in March.

Draft rollout plan completed, further coordination with @James Down (Unlicensed) planned this week (29/03/21).

Serial number tracking project will resume once free stock assignment is implemented successfully as a high-priority project.

Pulse 2.0

• carrying out shop visits and user research interviews with colleagues in Kenya and Rwanda over the past weeks

Updates

• Completed SCM to DCM conversion design.

• Critical stories are written on PO’s board and kicked-off development to allow the conversion

• Ongoing improvements for bPower20 DCM which will be useful for DCM for bPower50 implementation.

  • Released configuring bPower20 screen messages

  • Released removing manual on-time in Pulse for bPower20 customers.

ESF Compatible PULSE

Filters to access amount remaining before ESF only in the ERP advanced search

What it is: It is a filter that allows NGU to easily filter amount until ESF only through ERP advanced search and use that information as a trigger for some actions.

Why it is important: This information/data helps to enhance actions like:

• Proactively connecting with ESF only customer to sell them upgrade

• Sending congratulations SMS once a customer reach ESF only

• Provide bonus days when joining ESF-only period, etc

Filters to access ESF only date in the ERP advanced search

What it is: It is a filter that allows NGU to easily filter ESF only date details under ERP advanced search and use that to come up with the list of customers Joining ESF only in certain period of time

Why it is important: This information/data helps to

• Understand customers joining ESF only on monthly basis

• Encourage upgrades for customers joining ESF Only

Updates

• Allowing Completed customers to upgrades is under testing (UAT)

• Two other stories are drafted: (1) Repossessing a completed customer with an active upgrade, (2) Swapping a completed customer with an active upgrade

• Pay for repairs for completed/opt-out customers story in the current system is almost ready for development (having discussion with supply chain).

1. UAT the IRT/ERP Integration Tool:

What it is:

DC repair technicians use IRT to report spares used. This is the data we use to generate the monthly warranty claims. However, DC logistics officers use ERP stock moves to manage inventory of spares. We often have a variance between spare stock moves done by the logistics officers and what repair technicians report in IRT

Why it is important:

The purpose of the sync tool is to synchronize IRT and ERP and trigger automatic stock moves when technician reports a part in IRT to capture accurate spare Usage in ERP.

Update: Most of stories of this project are at the UAT stage while others, their development is in progress.
