Functional areas in the IT Group - Part 1 Development Team

In the past, I.T.  was managed in a top-down fashion -- dictating problems and demanding solutions.  Sadly, it remains this way at many companies still today. But our IT Group at JJ Food Service thinks differently...   We are proud of the technology ecosystem we’ve built across our entire organization, one that listens and gives input at every level, and learns organically from what works and doesn’t.  We thrive from strategic relationships with Microsoft, Cisco and others -- running multi-year beta trials in production, with direct access to the people who make the software we operate.  This all drives our entirely autonomous in-house team every day to collaboratively solve issues before they become problems  

The Group has three teams: Development, Infrastructure and Programme Management. Each team has core functional areas that map back to the business.  We’ll be looking at the unique challenges and outstanding solutions of each team, but today we’ll be focusing about Development and its four sub-areas (Part 2 will cover the other teams).

Development Team - On your marks... Get Set... GO!

The Dev team are very much working in a Developer-Driven manner, rooted in the action-packed scrum style of committing to finding a solution in a period of time, and racing together to achieve that goal.  The coding style and thought processes we use is also based around test-driven development, in a continuum of our collaborative team culture. What this really comes down to is that developers must have a deep level of what it’s like in the trenches -- from call centers to sales forecasting -- so we can have a substantive dialog within our company, about the problem and possible solutions in real time.  We believe this model can be challenging to those lazy, out-of-practice IT losers who sit in the back doing nothing... you know the ones.  But for clever Devs looking to do something amazing every day, it empowers us to exercise the bounds creativity and earn our autonomy. The Dev team have four focus areas: Customer Facing, Ops, Supply Chain and Business Intelligence.  Rather than dividing into separate groups, our members work interdisciplinarily towards their talents and interests to achieve multi-task goals together.

Current tooling we have in the Dev team are C#, JavaScript, X++, T-SQL, Coldfusion, WCF, ASP.Net MVC, .net 4, .net compact framework, REST, SOAP, Microsoft SQL, SQL Mobile, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, Atlassian and Team Foundation Server

Customer Facing

We realize, as great as we are together huddled in our little clubhouse, our business thrives from successful interaction with customers, and as such this is a priority for our team.  This includes customer marketing, order capture (through phone/web/orders), payment, order check out and our customer service cycle.  We have built an impressive arsenal, including our award-winning approach to order capturing, a progressive pricing engine aimed to change behavior, call centre management, unique REST Shopping Cart Public API’s, as well as the normal customer reports, end-user logins, mobile apps, field sales systems and electronic marketing.  And you thought it would sound boring! One the key goals is to have single code path that is followed no matter how the customer access our services, allowing seamless transitions between channel and devices. We working to achieve this by having a first class Public REST API’s (a way to let others talk to your system) exposing our business logic inside Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Supply Chain Functions

At the end of the day, we want to boast systems that allow our partners to succeed.  We find this is accomplished most effectively by ensuring we have the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time.  Overstock runs a cost for the company and uses up precious space, but if ever understocked we obviously lose out on sales opportunities. So our Supply Chain focuses on Product Onboarding, Master Planning, Forecasting, In-bound Delivery Booking, Vendor Self Service and Cost Price Management.  We are currently working to improve our forecast tools using data-mining algorithms and storage system that allow us to explode and summarize data crazy fast.  How fast?  We just did it.... That fast.

Business intelligence (BI) Functions

BI is always working to be a champion of the business at-large, sitting down with our C.E.O. a number of times a week to take a macro-approach.  They are wizards at taking all the massive amount of system data that comes from our team and successfully communicating and disseminating it throughout the rest of our organization.  At JJ Food Service we use a mix of tools from  SQL Server 2012, SSRS, SSAS, PowerView, PowerPivot, Sharepoint and Excel Web Service -- all to ensure that the people who need the information have it whenever and wherever.

Ops Functions

Ops Function take the orders we have captured from our customer and make sure we deliver on that promise... literally.  Our system manages getting the right people and resources to the right place, with software to empower them to follow the path from our door to theirs.  Ops functions related to our Operation Group, HR Group, Finance Group, QA Group and Transport Group.

In the Wholesale and Foodservice sector, a majority of employees are not based in the office, and as such having limited or no access to any company systems. Delivery Drivers spend over 99% of their time out of the office, and as the face of the company, and end of our distribution chain, we need to empower them with all the tools to access everything they need to satisfy our customers. Most delivery processes were being done on paper -- literal carbon copies like something out of the 1970’s... and unsurprisingly, as you’re only as good as the most up-to-date information you have, we had more  bottlenecks in  our  business than a Coca-Cola plant.  Not to mention that the  ERP  system  didn’t track the simplest live information about our driver’s activities, so we had to contact drivers regularly on their mobile phones, disrupting them from their core duties.  To most companies, an unavoidable flaw... but to our team -- an opportunity.

The Gantt chart on the right shows real time delivery performance. We are monitoring the planned delivery times with the actual delivery time. Blocks in Green show when we are on time, Blocks in Yellow show when we are early and Blocks in Red show when we are late
