4. Process Flow 

 

Order Processing:

  • Step One: H&E Equipment Service Inc. E-Pro Purchase orders can be sent in at any time (including weekends), however the majority are between 7 AM and 5 PM CST.
  1. Purchase orders are sent into orders@fleetpride.com and auto forwarded to Conexiom and customersupportcenter@fleetpride.com (FreshDesk) for processing by the assigned Account Representative. Conexiom sends orders into OMS in fifteen minute increments. (Time- XX:00 XX:15 XX:30 XX:45). 
  2. H&E uses a third party PO generation system called E-Pro that is directly linked with their Baldwin rebate program. The customer cannot purchase anything other than Baldwin filters on this type of purchase order. For other parts, the customer will send in their standard H&E Purchase order that would need to be manually keyed. 

 

  • Step Two: Processing SLA: 2 Hours (CSC Hours: 7AM-5PM) multiple invoices allowed per Purchase Order
  1. Account Representative will ensure the accuracy of the order in Conexiom and Sterling OMS by resolving any isolated errors (price validation failures, multiple pool failure, Account pulling failure, UOM failures). 
  2. Utilize the Customer Cross Reference File in iSeries as needed to locate part numbers. Account Representative will flag major or consistent errors to their CSC Team Leads/CSC Manager to be resolved (IT/System errors). 

 

  • Step Three: Send confirmation email.
  1. Once complete, a screenshot of the Sterling OMS Confirmation page must be sent from FreshDesk to the H&E and FleetPride parties (omit the E-pro email addresses as they are not monitored) on the email thread that the purchase order was sent in on. The body of the email should include the template used by the Account Representative letting the customer/branch know that the order has been processed. 

 

  • Step Four: Branch Review
  1. Once the order has been confirmed in Sterling OMS, it prints at the assigned branch. If there are any errors on the order or parts need to be added, the Branch Manager should contact the CSC to edit the order via the confirmation email (customersupportcenter@fleetpride.com). The CSC should also look to identify why the error happened (systemic error or human error). 

 

  • Step Five: Delivery of parts.
  1. The Branch Manager and their team will then pick the parts to deliver to the customer on the first available run. 

 

Order Process Issues (IT involvement needed): Account Representative will flag major                   or consistent errors to their CSC Team Leads/CSC Manager to be resolved.                  (IT/System errors).

  • Step One: Team Lead/CSC Manager 

Identify which platform is causing the error. (Conexiom or Sterling OMS)

  • Step Two: Team Lead/CSC Manager will contact appropriate team.
