2 Project Overview
2.1 What Are We Building
2.1.1 System Function
Product catalog management system that handles model number creation, approval workflow, product classification, and substitute model management for IT assets throughout the ITAD process.
2.1.2 Users
- Model Management Team: Model approval and catalog maintenance
- Operations Staff: Model creation during asset processing
- Auditing Operators: Model selection during asset data capture
- Value Recovery Team: Model information for pricing and sales
2.1.3 Problem Solved
Eliminates inconsistent product identification, ensures standardized model catalog, automates approval workflow, provides substitute model handling for rejected items, and maintains accurate product specifications for valuation and processing.
2.1.4 Key Success Metric
100% standardized product identification, 95% model approval efficiency, zero duplicate models, and automated substitute model replacement.
2.2 Scope
2.2.1 In Scope
- Model number creation and approval workflow
- Product type and manufacturer association
- Image upload and management
- Model search and filtering capabilities
- Rejected model substitution process
- Weight and description management
- Tech line classification for processing decisions
2.2.2 Out Of Scope
- Automated model recognition from images
- Integration with manufacturer databases
- Advanced product specifications management
- Pricing optimization based on model data
