The Barnes Group designed and developed this company's next-generation application for the pickup and delivery of parts for a Big Three auto manufacturer.  This new client/server-based system provides the company the ability to receive information electronically from both the auto manufacturer and parts suppliers for analysis and route maintenance.  As part of a "Just-In-Time" supplier system, this system has allow the company to develop a new relationship with the manufacturers and increase business in each of the three years of its operation.

Our services included requirements analysis, selection of development tools and query software, database design, and application development using an interactive prototyping methodology. 

Following implementation of this system, as a requirement of the auto manufacturer, a Disaster Recovery Plan was developed and implement by The Barnes Group.  This plan included provisions for plan testing, maintenance and staff training.
