Situation
The schedulers use spreadsheets for Deal Association, scheduling, balancing volumes, dispatching, pool allocation, and pipeline communication and feed the same information into the Scheduler for billing and accounting. This is an overhead and delays billing and invoicing.
 
Cognizant’s Solution
  • Cognizant has proposed the solution by providing a VB.NET application that would read the spreadsheet data, implement key business rules and automatically update the Scheduler database
  • The proposed application would automate all manual entries that the schedulers do today
    Scheduler Database
 
Benefit
  • Save the data entry time from spreadsheets to Scheduler Prompt billing and invoicing data
  • Quick update of scheduling information for the retail and billing departments
  • Cost savings as a result of prompt and accurate information flow along the system
