NDCP Implements E-Commerce and Distribution Solution
The Massachusetts-based National DCP (NDCP), implements S2K Enterprise Portal and S2K Enterprise for Distribution software from VAI (Vormittag Associates Inc.), an IBM Premier Business Partner. The NDCP services over 6,000 Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins outlets worldwide, via four regional distribution centers throughout the United States.
The National DCP had been a VAI customer for 20 years, when it decided to upgrade to the latest version of S2K for Distribution and implement an e-commerce solution, in an effort to bring all regional distribution centers onto one enterprise package. Beverly Ring, IT manager, National DCP, comments, "VAI dove into our business, making it their mission to understand what we needed to accomplish and how quickly we could meet our end goal. They essentially became part of our team and intimately familiar with our business processes. VAI's knowledge of the distribution industry and the National DCP's specific model, coupled with the firm's excellent design and coding skills, were invaluable to this project's success."
S2K Enterprise Portal provides the National DCP with Web-based access to data from three of their four strategically located distribution centers -- the Mid Atlantic DCP, Southeast DCP, and Northeast DCP -- which services the product needs of both Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins stores located in these regions. S2K Enterprise Portal, an e-commerce solution based on IBM's WebSphere Portal server, supplies employees and customers with the information needed for informed decision-making.
