AMR Report on Top 25 Supply Chains
O’Marah says one of the biggest surprises about the IT strategies of these companies was their wide use of custom-built or heavily modified shelf software to run their operations…These leading companies all start with a process and then strive for the a system to support that process.

System Architecture
Base application contains robust, out-of-the-box functionality for effective supply chain execution.
Adaptability tools empower you to configure the system to your exact requirements without custom code.
Upgrades leverage new technology and functionality. Business logic is stored separately from the application, unaffected by the upgrade process.

This information electronically transmitted to WA to execute the moves.
Advantages
User friendly for operational users
Easy to navigate (same as WA)
Reporting and web pages are flexible
Uses WA data model
Same configurability as other HJ products

Reduce packing/ shipping costs
Reduce shipping damage and returns
Increase throughput
This is a very important slide. Because of our vision into what technologies the market is demanding, we can see in this slide that services driven software companies are fading into the sunset.
Look at the competitors business model:
We pride ourselves on maintaining a 1:-2 software to services ratio.
Most others want and financially require a 1:5-7 ratio.
Look to see if they live off their services.
Do they require upgrades to maintain support
40%-50% out of the box functionality
The rest of the business processes are created in one-off environment
HighJump is different
What if you could have a solution that provides ability to have very specific business processes without the drawbacks of custom coding?
Processes are configured using adaptability tools
Worry free upgrades
