(Free-Press-Release.com) November 13, 2009 --

According to Pushparaj Shanmugam, Director of Engineering for Ultriva, “The Ultriva product is designed from ground up with set of frameworks. Solid Transactional Framework acts as a data access layer so our application, business objects do not have to worry about underlying database. Business Object Layer built on top of data access layer does all the business logic and hence frees up the UI. Stateflow infrastructure takes care of the business process flow logic for Kanban cards. Expression Evaluation based engine takes care of custom notifications.” Shanmugam also noted that, “Additional background services for Integration, Batch Processing and Notification engine compliments our infrastructure so the application specific code is very minimal.”

According to Narayan Laksham, CEO of Ultriva, (www.ultriva.com), “We design lean manufacturing software and solutions that drive lean processes across the supply chain, from suppliers to customers.” Ultriva's flagship product, Ultriva Electronic Kanban, eliminates stock-outs while reducing inventory levels up to 75 percent. Ultriva Lean Scheduling complements demand-driven replenishment strategies by optimizing production schedules in real time around the most variable customer demand. Ultriva Supplier Replenishment extends the replenishment capabilities of Kanban to include schedule-based replenishment, discrete POs, min/max, consignment and VMI (vendor-managed inventory) replenishment methods. Ultriva's products are in use in more than 100 plants worldwide, incorporating more than 4,000 suppliers, transacting over one billion dollars of inventory and reducing manufacturing costs for industry leaders such as AGCO, Emerson, Ingersoll-Rand, McKesson, Rexnord, and Timken.



Beyond the Application framework, Ultriva utilizes Application Logic. Shanmugam noted that, “We built the Ultriva application on top of the above framework and this helps us to make our applications into a set of components and hence easy to debug and quick to deliver solutions. Our UI also built on internal UI framework, complex client side logic is kept in thoroughly tested client side framework; we kept our user experience simple enough for shop floor users.”
