Vision 1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose This document describes high level user needs and different features of the proposed Supply Trax product. 1.2. Product Overview (CSOL 560) Supply Trax is specifically designed to track or locate where products are manufactured. To contribute to the safe and secure development of software products bought and paid for by customers. Knowledge of the supply chain ensures better situational awareness when it comes to adverse side effects for primary, secondary or tertiary plans of operations. This product gives World Wide Enterprise and its customers insight on the status of the transportation process, its distribution centers, and clients. Supply Trax can be easily used by end users to track their product from inception to completion. It can be used via the windows operating system with more details described below. 1.3.

2. User Description 2.1. User/Market Demographics The target market are the Manufacturers, Government Agencies and Transportation agencies. The government has a broad pool of users of about 2 million or over 150 agencies that would benefit from the resources and programs that World Wide Enterprises has to offer (Maciag, 2017). 2.2. User Profiles The primary users will be the development, procurement, production, and customer service departments of these companies required to manufacture and track their products. 2.3. User Environment The primary environment is a COTS suite used from Windows Server and Datacenter 2012, 2016, 2019 (64 bit [EM64T]) with latest updates. The GUI is an easy to use system that requires servers placed internationally for communication across the globe. It offers unique capabilities used to visualize and analyze the data. It can all be viewed via maps, apps, dashboards and reports. It can be used as a stand-alone environment or with other applications. 2.4. Key User Needs Supply Trax allows users to discover hidden patterns and improve predictive modeling and maintain a competitive edge while being able to track their locations, routes, suppliers, and shipments. They have the ability to view manufacturers, buyers, sellers, and intermediaries within the area of interest they are pursuing. Users will also need to be able to use external apps for the cross correlation of the information we provide to them. It will have the ability to correlate geolocations with physical addresses to avoid mistakes during the shipment and delivery.

3. Production Overview 3.1. Product Perspective The graphic below provides a high-level architecture of the deployment of a typical GIS system. It provides the different design and engineering aspects of a GIS as well as the managerial and other stakeholders that are required to support the development of the GIS.

(GIS, 2017)

The graphic below describes the different execution levels of Supply Trax to support our customer’s needs and requirements. Publishing the raw data retrieved to the different types of layers helps organize and control the information retrieved.

This model breaks down the more complicated graphic to depict how Supply Trax gets to its end result.

(Geographic, 2001)

3.2. Product Position Statement

The ability to take the different aspects of geographic information and create a user-friendly suite to help customers gather, dissect, analyze and develop a functional product. Improving the situational awareness of the customer’s product line from start to finish.
