Global Sales
Order Fulfillment Systems: As
early pioneers in client/server technology, OCG principals and consultants
analyzed, designed, developed and delivered a complete order fulfillment system
which unified Weyerhaeuser with their remote sales offices in Japan, Europe,
South America the United States. The system integrated manufacturing facilities
throughout the US and Canada. Based on intimate experience with the system and
replicated database environments, OCG was later engaged to migrate the system
from an HP3000/HPAllbase platform to NT servers running Oracle. The business

multiple front-ends a payroll and job cost accounting applications.

OCG personnel provided the technical lead for the integration of a web-based
project accounting and billing package into a Fortune 100 company's intranet.
Marine
Transportation & Export Documentation:
Weyerhaeuser Company is the largest volume exporter in the US.
In the 1990s, OCG designed and developed Marine Transportation booking
systems for the Pulp Business and Recycling Business, and fully automated the
Export Documentation process – allowing Weyerhaeuser to eliminate the use of
their Freight Forwarder. OCG
integrated ocean carriers directly with Weyerhaeuser. This allowed the shipper
to issue bills of lading directly from their sales system, receive electronic
due bills and process freight payment as well as all other export documents.
Domestic Freight
Payment for Truck & Rail Shipping: This project centralized and automated
the rating and payment of truck and rail carrier invoices for facilities
throughout the United States and Canada. The application was tightly integrated
with the global sales system. It receives electronic shipment notices from the
manufacturing sites, sends electronic bills of lading to the railroad, then
rates and forwards authorization for payment for the freight bill.
