"Digital Forum created the software that allowed us to increase profits, decrease man hours, and provided us with greater flexibility in preparing proposals. By sharing data between branch offices, we have eliminated duplicate efforts and provided managers with a tool to evaluate and control profits."
-Bill Snyder, Buchanan Sound and Electronics

Digital Forum gets results for our clients:

Automated the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) applications for a billion dollar public company. Transformed a simple Electronic Data Integration (EDI) translation tool handling approximately ½ million transactional records per month for two (2) loosely integrated systems, into an extensible Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) system handling more than 5 million transactional records per month for eight (8) disperate systems. Literally billions of dollars of transactions traverse this system each year. The necessary man hours required for system maintenance has decreased greatly even while the transactional capacity of the system has increased 10 fold.

Provided the US Social Security Administration with a commercial quality, secure client/server database application that was distributed to over 500 Rehabilitation Service Providers nationwide. The application gave users the ability to manage a dynamic database of nearly 250,000 clients. Users were able to keep current client data by periodically connecting to a centralized server. Less than one (1) FTE was required to maintain the centralized data repository and to service the entire user community.

Increased employee productivity by automating the process of issuing credit to customers for returned products for the world’s second largest generic pharmaceutical company. Employee effort in issuing returned product credits to all Wholesale and Retail customers was reduced by 85%. Enhanced customer service by greatly improving the speed with which returned products are processed and by improving the accuracy of credit amounts. As a result, customer disputes involving product returns have been reduced by 10%.

Connected five (5) office locations throughout the East and Midwest by seamlessly integrating each location’s database (synchronizing and replicating data) for a leading Electronic Systems Contractor. Salesmen at each location are more productive as they can now work remotely and share resources such as a searchable online product catalog including more than 200 manufacturers and over 100,000 products. Annual profit margins now average close to 20% in an industry that averages 8% to 10% margins.

Integrated information from multiple internal systems and an external B2B system by developing an custom order tracking system. By linking the internal systems and the tracking page of a shipper's website (such as UPS, FedEx, etc.), the system gives the customer service department and the distribution center the ability to determine the status of an order quickly and seamlessly - which allows customer service and distribution center employees to be more productive. This solution also eliminated the need for a customer service representative to return a customer's call in order to provide the status of orders.

Automated the process of mass producing sales orders. The client needed a way to generate thousands of orders for delivery addresses not accessible by their ERP system. Data from the ERP system was integrated with data from the EDI system and data from a separate database containing customer delivery addresses to automate the process. One customer service representative now generates orders required for a product launch in minutes - a task previously requiring three (3) days of manual effort for ten (10) staff members.

Provided a solution for a human resources department to generate employee benefit profiles for more than one thousand employees. The profiles include personalized content and several pie charts for each employee. An application was developed to generate these pie charts automatically from data located in an Excel spreadsheet. These pie charts were then seamlessly incorporated into the individual employee profiles. A task that previously required several weeks effort from two (2) employees is now completed by one (1) employee in a matter of days.
