The Challenge
KupiVip, an online fashion retailer based in Moscow, Russia, was facing a significant challenge in its legal department. The approval process for legal documentation was inefficient and time-consuming, leading to a growing backlog of files waiting to be processed. The department, responsible for regulatory compliance, resolving corporate legal issues, contract development and approval, organization of the legal workflow, and providing legal support for departments across the company, was struggling to streamline approvals due to the large backlog of files. The lack of a defined archive for storing and tracking documents as they moved amongst stakeholders further complicated the process. The team needed a more efficient process to improve the speed and quality of its processed documents, and a secure way to organize and store files that were in the approval process.
About The Customer
KupiVip is an online fashion retailer based in Moscow, Russia. Founded in 2008, the company operates as a members-only shopping club, selling fashions and accessories from designers such as Prada, Gucci, and Giorgio Armani. KupiVip offers up to 20 'flash sales' of designer brand excess inventory every day, featuring discounts of up to 70% off retail prices. The company currently has nearly 10 million registered users and is working to expand its infrastructure to scale its warehousing and delivery operations in response to its rapid growth.
The Solution
KupiVip's technology partner, LANIT, suggested the implementation of Nintex Workflow to address the challenges faced by the legal department. Nintex Workflow is an automation solution that offers a powerful, easy-to-use workflow designer to improve business processes and deliver a rapid return on investment. It empowers users with tools to monitor, manage, and reuse workflows, and can model and improve processes regardless of their complexity. It also integrates seamlessly with other systems, tools, and services, and boosts and extends SharePoint functionality. Working with LANIT, Russia’s largest system integrator, KupiVip implemented Nintex Workflow. The solution allowed the legal department to make changes to processes quickly and easily without requiring any knowledge of programming. It also provided a centralized archive where documents could be quickly located and accessed throughout the approval process.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
Case Study
Supermarket Energy Savings
The client had previously deployed a one-meter-per-store monitoring program. Given the manner in which energy consumption changes with external temperature, hour of the day, day of week and month of year, a single meter solution lacked the ability to detect the difference between a true problem and a changing store environment. Most importantly, a single meter solution could never identify root cause of energy consumption changes. This approach never reduced the number of truck-rolls or man-hours required to find and resolve issues.
