Global Timecard System

The Challenge

A multi-billion dollar package delivery company and leading global provider of specialized transportation and logistics (supply chain / transportation) services needed to streamline the recording of activities and operational statistics of multiple employees charged with deliveries distributed throughout different seg-ments of the global organization. In the past, infor-mation coming from delivery acquisition technology devices were not being consolidated properly into actionable information that could be utilized appro-priately by stakeholders.

The Solution

Working with stakeholders, DATA Inc. provided a development team to bridge the gaps between dispa-rate mainframe deployments, client-server systems and delivery devices. The resulting solution, dubbed the Global Timecard System was designed to record the activities and operation statistics of employees of different segments of client operations; specifi cally individuals who support package delivery operations throughout the globe.

The Global Timecard System consolidates information from multiple delivery devices and web interfaces onto virtual timecards. The virtual timecards are then validated against complex business rules and other statistics and then forwarded onto the payroll application for the appropriate next steps.

Once the information is on the virtual timecard, stakeholders throughout the organization can retrieve information fi ltered by day, month or year through different Operation Statistic Calculation and Reporting Applications. This allows stakeholders to make decisions based on actionable data including the payout of bonuses based on rules defi ned for delivery and pickup.
