USE CASE: Product Installation

CDK Global

Objective: Manage long-running, multi-phase software implementations for car dealerships. Multiple product lines with many process variations need to be accommodated.

Challenge

The implementation processes require tight handoffs between different groups, some overseas.

Managing the handoffs has been problematic, with tasks often assigned to groups before predecessor tasks have been completed.

Data related to the processes needs to be gathered and be reportable to determine bottlenecks and other areas where performance can be improved.

Solution & Results

Work-Relay processes were developed for different products, with one process often launching a number of related processes based on the customer order. Many of the processes have steps that are tied to due dates calculated by date fields in the data model. As these dates change in the source records, they update the due dates in the process, so managers can keep close track of their implementations using a Gantt view and via Progress Scorecards. Extensive use of Work-Relay forms allows data to be captured dynamically and used in many areas of the process.
