IT Development Team on site to quickly develop interfaces with customer systems

Flextronics Global Services (Raheen) is one of 30+ Flextronics hubs that exist worldwide. All hubs use the same warehouse management system called ATLAS.

The ATLAS system can support Vendor Managed Inventory and/or Customer Owned Inventory processes. Most ATLAS software development is centred in the Dublin site, with local IT support provided in most depots. This is a significant advantage for new customer start-ups and continuous improvement programs. The local IT team can quickly develop the interfaces between the new customers system and ATLAS. These interfaces are usually implemented through EDI, XML or simple text files. In some cases, the interface can be as simple as call-off requests being received via email, fax or telephone.

The ATLAS system has also been interfaced with most mainstream ERP systems such as BAAN, Oracle and SAP. As well as implementing the interfaces Flextronics Global Services also provides its customers with access to the ATLAS system via the Web which provides real time visibility to stock levels and material movements. A track and trace function is also provided.
