Description

Currently, NHS Supply Chain captures customer demand through a range of solutions including a core catalogue, EDI order feeds, through a forecast driven automated replenishment model, and through orders triggered by inventory usage (e.g., in theatres for high value products). Some of these solutions are over 30 years old, unstable, aren't flexible and are unable to adapt to our strategy or external changes. We are looking for ONE Supply Chain Digital Commerce Portal - Provide a single tailored and intuitive order and order management platform, managing personalised content delivery across web and mobile channels whilst supporting integration with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and 3rd party platforms. The platform will be made accessible to the NHS as well as ~1,100 Suppliers. Services based Architecture - Highly agile, modular, and incremental architecture to improve service delivery providing single source of truth, accelerated time to value and reducing total cost of ownership Business rules engine - Defining rules against product master data including but not limited to, product price, stock levels, rationing rules, minimum and maximum order values, and Supply routing conditions Product Data Management / Taxonomy - A complete and comprehensible product taxonomy enabling customers to find exactly what they need and complete their checkout with ease
