4. Process Flow 

 

Order Processing:

  • Step One: Prime Purchase orders are sent in between 6 AM and 8 AM Monday       through Friday.
  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). 

 

  • Step Two: Processing SLA: 30 minutes, one invoice 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). Remove pool 555 parts from the order prior to processing if it fails in Conexiom or OMS Drafts. These will need to be manually entered in iSeries onto the invoice created by OMS. 
  2. Utilize the Customer Cross Reference File in iSeries as needed to locate part numbers. If a part number is not identifiable, reach out to the Branch Manager assigned to that account for assistance. Material numbers on the PO should already have crosses setup. 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 parties 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. *Note*: Customer needs to see what lines have been cancelled.

 

  1. For the STO location: There is a group chat in Teams with several internal parties. This chat is used to notify the Saint Cloud STO branch that the Saint Cloud Purchase Orders have been processed (this in addition to the confirmation email). If any changes need to be made, the Saint Cloud STO branch will notify us in the Teams chat as they need to get the order out on their first run of the day.

 

  • 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.

Contact appropriate people through Teams and/or the IT Service Portal. 

*For OMS: put in a ticket through the service portal describing the issue.
*For Conexiom: contact the Senior Manager IT Digital Applications. 

 

*For System Down (more than 30 minutes and affecting all accounts): Contact all IT Support Contacts listed below. 

*Work around in all systems down situation: Manual Entry in iSeries if there is no timeframe/reasonable timeframe for resolution and CSC Manager deems it appropriate. 

*For ATS: Contact Branch manager and let them know that the system is down and in the interest of time, they will need to manually key the order. 

 

5. Continuous Improvement 

  • Weekly review of orders and metrics by the CSC Team Lead: 1 on 1 with Account Representative conducted weekly by the Team Lead and Bi-Weekly by the CSC Manager. This is meant to be an open discussion regarding all assigned accounts. Major issues with any process or account should be identified and flagged to the CSC Team Lead and CSC Manager for the appropriate resolution.
