DMSi
Modernize Stratification & Optimization Applications

The DMSi Senior Design project will build upon last year's work, in which the team migrated complicated maintenance spreadsheets to a web application. This year, the project aims to transform the customer and item stratification as well as pricing optimization processes to a modern web application. Today's process is very manual, and the vast majority of the work and logic exist in a series of Excel spreadsheets.

Additionally, the integration with Agility, the DMSi ERP system, is very light. Both of these cause a less than desirable user experience and ultimately discourage some customers from engaging in the consulting process resulting in lost revenue. Putting a modern touch on these processes will enable better customer service and expand the pipeline. Ultimately, the more our customers that DMSi can get through the process, the better, not only for DMSi but for their customers. These processes help customers focus their effort on their core customers and items, maximizing their profit by assisting them in understanding better where they should be sacrificing margin and where they should be increasing it.
