Development of a unified information system for the entire supply chain management circuit of a retail company

Purpose of reseach solves the current applied problem of developing a unified information system for managing supply chains of a retail company. The relevance of the study is due to the need to simplify the transfer of information between departments of a retail company and increase the interaction between departments in the managing supply chains. Market analysis has shown that the need to replace foreign software remains a key issue in the Russian Federation. Replacement and adaptation of software modules and settings, user and administrator support, as well as information security and data integrity are all components of a unified, reliable system for a modern enterprise to operate smoothly in a world of transformational processes. Development of a unified information system to improve the interaction between departments of a retail company in the supply chain management 

Methods. The study uses the ArchiMate architecture modeling language to design the functional architecture of a unified supply chain management information system. The unified modeling language UML is used to model the functionality of the designed modules of the unified information system. An object-oriented approach is used to develop software for the supply chain management information system.

Results. In the course of the study, a model of the functional architecture of the information system for monitoring prices of trading enterprises was built. An analysis of the functional capabilities of the designed system was performed and an object-oriented design of the static structure of the information system for monitoring prices of trading enterprises was carried out. A web application for the information system for monitoring prices of trading enterprises was developed, allowing the collection of information on prices of goods of trading enterprises through online resources and through retail outlets.

In the course of the study, a model of the functional architecture of a unified information system for supply chain management was built. An analysis of the functional capabilities of the designed system was performed and an object-oriented design of the information system static structure for supply chain management was carried out. A software for a unified information system was developed, which allows for an increase the interaction between departments in the supply chain management, as well as simplification of the information transfer between departments of a retail company.

Conclusion. The developed system, by automating the entire supply chain management circuit, makes it easier to transfer information between the departments of a retail company, which reduces the likelihood of errors when interacting between departments.
