The Product Development, Merchandise Calendar and Internet Catalogue are designed to assist the merchandise, design and development team in preparing and launching the new product line.

Several component modules, programs and databases make up these modules, which are purchased as an integrated system. The user interface, outputs and queries are browser-based, in full colour and graphic mode – GUI. They are an integral part of the full CAMS 9I suite of applications and database as well as CAMS Action Notices and Smart-Mail (integrated e-mail).

Merchandise Calendar

This is an overview of the launch schedule by merchandise group, listing events (meetings and milestones) and status of the development cycle. This will highlight the merchandise, design and development teams’ ability to meet the schedule.

Task Management

Tasks are assigned to personnel in the
company human-resource database and
tracked. Product-development status
details are viewed through a drilldown
from the merchandise calendar. This
answers the question: who is responsible
for what?
