The deployment of an inventory system with ScienceSoft usually covers the following stages:
Stage 1. Configuring software infrastructure, backup and disaster recovery procedures.Implementing robust security mechanisms: authorization controls for APIs, DDoS protection algorithms, firewalls, IDSs / IPSs, and more. Installing and tuning hardware if required (e.g., barcode printers and readers,RFID tags andreaders, computer vision cameras,etc.). Deploying the solution to one of the targeted facilities (warehouse/distribution center) for a pilot run.Duration: 2 weeks for hardware-supported systems.
Stage 2. Monitoring the system’s functioning in real-life conditions. Handling possible change requests and issues (e.g., barcode/RFID-related). Duration of pilot operation: 1-2 months.
Stage 3. Rolling out the final version of the solution to all the targeted facilities. Duration: ~ 2 months for deploying RFID/barcode-based systems (depending on the number of facilities and their layout complexity, the duration can be longer).
