Wireline ordering, supported in Asignet’s Service Catalog module, provides a single source for all your MACD ordering needs and helps streamline inventory management processes. The ordering in the platform provides you:

Simple & configurable order steps for the user.
Unique approval workflow for different order types, vendors, etc.
Order progress visible in the platform at any time, along with email notifications for key progress milestones.

Understanding the ordering lifecycle in the platform

Using our Wireline Ordering module requires you to have an establish inventory in the platform and to engage in a small implementation to:

Configure the order's steps
Apply approval workflows
Ensure orders are submitted to the appropriate vendors contacts

Once the Wireline Ordering module has been implemented, your team will be able to place orders & quotes for MACD activity. General workflow includes:

The order is created on the platform and submitted for processing.
If no approval is required, the platform workflow submits the order to the vendor via email for processing.
If approval is required, the platform workflow sends the order to the approver (s) queue for review. Upon approval, the order is sent to the vendor via email for processing.
The vendor provides order fulfillment details for data capture in the platform until the order is completed.
