    • ALC assists our clients with the identification, integration, and adoption of technologies to improve logistics and supply chain operations.

    • Our Technology Specialists perform a needs analysis to identify requirements allowing the selection of technologies that can address the need.

    • We then develop an implementation plan, accounting for current infrastructure, staff, and business processes, and while addressing change management and the need to communicate with and provide training to employees.

    • We also assist with implementation and deployment, beginning with limited testing leading to the eventual roll-out enterprise wide.

  • ERP Implementation and Sustainment

    • ALC provides Inventory Control and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System implementation and sustainment including developing source code and business processes and managing data migration.

    • ALC uses the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) methodology as the blueprint to build software applications involving eight steps: planning, requirements, design, build, document, test, deploy, and maintain.

    • Our system design tools include Context Diagrams, E-R Diagrams, and Flow Charts.

  • Enterprise Content Management

    • ALC provides Knowledge Management by instituting a set of defined processes, strategies and tools to effectively obtain, organize, store and deliver critical information to employees, business stakeholders, and customers.
