This includes the customer sales order, tracking service, and bill of landing signature. By creating a system that will allow the company to track the orders to see where it is in transit and also estimated time of delivery, and confirmation of delivery. The goals is to give the customer more access to the status of their orders online and also for the company to have real time access to orders and delivery.

Assumptions and Risks
One aspect that may become an issue is the time line of the project. The goal is to complete the project in 6 months. If the project is not done the current the customer sales order, tracking service, and bill of landing signature system will fall behind while every other system within the company is upgraded. The project will help the company continue to grow and provide excellent and trustworthy service to existing and potential customers.

After a 2 day training on the new system for employees, the new system will be launched at the Cleveland office first, after a week of service then the additional sites will launch the new system. The project team will remain active for 3 weeks after the new system is launched, the IT department will take control of the maintenance and provide support to all the system users.
