Benefits
The inventory module is the heart of your ERP software system. Read on for a list of benefits.
1. Increased efficiency: Managing operations using a centralized system not only cuts down on
double-handling but also allows for automation of daily tasks. This translates to increase
production and more accurate output in less time.
2. Cost savings: Every business owner knows that efficiency equals cost savings. Rather than
paying for segmented resources or systems to handle different parts of the business, ERP
inventory management systems handle many working parts simultaneously, reducing overall
workload and minimizing expenses.
3. Accurate data collection and reporting: With key updates on stock, orders, and customers in a
single location, ERP inventory management enables quality data collection.
4. Real-time inventory monitoring: From a strange transaction to a spike in demand, you will

5. Minimized human error: Inventory mistakes such as data entry errors are common but can be
detected and avoided with the help of Hifive’s ERP software.
6. Organization and tracking of electronic invoices and other documents: The digital format
prevent misplacing or losing documents, and they will automatically be filed into the proper
place.
7. Mobility: If you elect a cloud-based system, you will be able to access your inventory tool
anywhere, anytime.
8. Integration: An ERP inventory management system enables you to integrate with external
partners to ensure all systems communicate with each other. Stock, order and shipping
information is therefore synced across the entire supply chain.

We assort the nature of support under 3 broad categories, namely, Severity 1, Severity 2, and
Severity 3. Whereby, Severity 1, is a type of support that requires priority of highest level and is
required to be mitigated as early as humanly possible. Severity 3 requires priority of a low level and is
an issue that need not be resolved right away but eventually.
Severity 1: Produces a high priority situation in which those components of the Covered Scope that
are available to the public are inoperable or fail catastrophically.
1. RESPONSE: Client shall notify Hifive via email (info@hifive.ae) or phone (+97146067934) of the
Severity 1 problem.
2. Hifive Solutions will provide a response by a qualified member of its personnel to begin to
diagnose and to correct a Severity 1 problem as soon as reasonably possible during regular
business hours 09:00 to 18:00 Gulf Standard Time, Saturday to Thursday and excluding statutory
UAE holidays.
3. Hifive Solutions will respond via email to the “Authorized Client’s Contacts” within one (1) hour if
the issue is reported during the support hours listed above, or the next day if reported outside of
support hours, to provide a status update on the resolution process.
4. Hifive Solutions will exercise best efforts to resolve Severity 1 problems as soon as possible.
5. The resolution to the Severity 1 problem will be delivered as a resumption of operation of the
Covered Scope.
6. Hifive Solutions will email the Authorized Client’s Contacts, to notify them when the Covered
Scope is operational again and to identify any related Severity 2 or Severity 3 issues that were
part of the original problem or which were introduced as a workaround or emergency fix to
remedy the Severity 1 issue.
7. Hifive Solutions may, if required, revert to a previous backup of the client data to resolve a
Severity 1 issue that results from incorrect or corrupt data. In no case shall Hifive Solutions be
held responsible for data loss that may occur when reverting to a previous data backup when it is
necessary to resolve a Severity 1 issue.
19 | 2 5
Email: info@hifive.ae
Website: www.hifive.ae
Address: ETA Star House, 1st Floor, Office 1, Salah Al Din Rd., Dubai, UAE
Severity 2: Produces a high priority situation in which the performance (throughput or response) of
the Covered Scope degrades substantially under reasonable loads, such that there is a severe impact
on use; the Covered Scope is usable, but materially incomplete; one or more functions or commands
is inoperable; or the use is otherwise significantly impacted.
1. RESPONSE: Client shall notify Hifive Solutions via email (info@hifive.ae) or phone (+97146067934)
of the Severity 2 problem.
2. Hifive Solutions will provide a response by a qualified member of its personnel to begin to
diagnose and to correct a Severity 1 problem as soon as reasonably possible during regular
business hours 09:00 to 18:00 Gulf Standard Time, Saturday to Thursday and excluding statutory
UAE holidays.
3. Hifive Solutions will respond via email to the “Authorized Client’s Contacts” within four (4) hours
if the issue is reported during regular business hours (see above), or the next business day if
reported outside business hours, to provide a status update on the status of the resolution
process.
4. Hifive Solutions will exercise best efforts to resolve Severity 2 problems within five (5) business
days.
5. The resolution to the Severity 2 problem will be delivered to the client as a workaround, or as a
software code patch to the Covered Scope, or as a configuration change to the web server hosting
the Portal. Those issues which are applicable to users of the Portal other than the client will be
filed in the public issue tracking system and the fixes applied to the next release of the Covered
Scope.
6. Hifive Solutions will email the Authorized Client’s Contacts to notify them when work to rectify
the Severity 2 issue has been completed, and to detail any Severity 3 issues that were part of the
original problem or which were introduced as a workaround or emergency fix to remedy the
Severity 2 issue.

Severity 3: Produces an inconvenient situation in which the Covered Scope is usable but does not
provide a function in the most convenient or expeditious manner, and the user suffers little or no
significant impact.
1. RESPONSE: Hifive Solutions will exercise best efforts to resolve Severity 3 problems in the next
public release of the Covered Scope.
2. Hifive Solutions may, at its discretion, apply a software patch to the Covered Scope to resolve a
Severity 3 issues prior to the next public software release.
3. As per the articulation in the contract, client also has the option to compensate Hifive Solutions

other than the client will be filed in the public issue tracking system and the fixes applied to the next

5.2 Knowledge Transfer
We strongly adhere to the principal that knowledge transfer is not a task, but rather a process that
embeds the intent to empower users through a combination of ad-hoc and formal activities to
transfer knowledge from the consultants to 3G Connections. We believe that knowledge transfer like
quality management should underlie every engagement between the Vendor and the client. That is,
1. All activities performed by Hifive shall be documented (for reference by the client’s personnel)
2. All activities shall involve the shadowing of client’s personnel providing “field” experience with
working on the system.
3. All issues and respective resolutions are documented and available for later reference.
While Hifive Solutions leverages several methods to transfer the knowledge – we also believe that
the most efficient and proven method involves “train-the-trainer” approach which allows the client’s
personnel to train other users as the client’s personnel better understand the organizational culture.
Furthermore, this is more cost-effective solution as internal resources are engaged in the knowledge
transfer process. Other than the “train-the-trainer” approach, RPC leverages the following initiative
in the knowledge transfer process:
Transactional processing – sitting with users in submitting transactions via the system correcting
any issues live. This has proven a highly effective method and allows Hifive’s personnel to identify
training gaps.
Business process understanding – Hifive personnel together with the Super Users can transfer
knowledge of the respective processes through existing flow-diagrams. This has proved especially
useful in imparting a high-level / big-picture view of the inter-dependencies of activities performed
on the system.
Master data dependencies – This is limited to the technical team and discusses the overall data
model used to implement the system.
Integration Points training – This presents the interfaces between the Oracle System and other
systems including the points at which these systems integrate allowing the client’s personnel to
better identify and resolve issues.
Continuing online communication and collaboration about tips and tricks
Ad hoc troubleshooting meetings with the client’s Support Team
