CORTEX carries out order decomposition by efficiently breaking down customer orders into service orders. It applys specific rules from the Product Catalogue, ensuring that each product in the order is accurately mapped to corresponding Customer-Facing Services (CFS).
In addition to decomposition, CORTEX performs activity sequencing. It sequences the various activities required to deliver CFS, coordinating these processes across multiple delivery systems. This orchestration is key to ensuring that each service is delivered efficiently and in the correct order.
A crucial aspect of CORTEX’s operation is its monitoring and error handling capabilities. It monitors the CFS delivery systems to identify any errors, delays, or failures. Upon detecting such issues, CORTEX takes decisive actions, which can include selecting alternative CFS options, escalating the problem for manual intervention, or even cancelling the order if necessary. This proactive approach to problem-solving is essential for maintaining the quality and timeliness of service delivery.
CORTEX is responsible for issuing progress notifications throughout the order processing journey. These notifications are sent to both internal and external recipients, providing timely updates at crucial stages of the order’s progression. This feature ensures that all stakeholders are kept informed about the status of the orders, enhancing transparency and communication.
It demonstrates a comprehensive and efficient approach to order management, combining decomposition, sequencing, monitoring, and communication to ensure seamless and effective delivery of customer-facing services.
The validation of customer orders in this system is carried out based on a set of established business rules, ensuring both compliance and practicality. An example of a primary consideration would be geographic rules, which ascertain whether the ordered products are available and deliverable to the customer’s specified location. This step is crucial to prevent logistical complications and to meet regional availability constraints.
Additionally, regulatory rules play a significant role. These rules determine if the customer is legally permitted to purchase the specified products. This aspect is vital for adhering to various legal and regulatory standards that may vary across regions and product types.
Commercial rules always apply, such as focusing on whether the customer is authorised to buy the requested combination of products. This aspect often involves checking against business policies related to product bundling or restrictions on certain combinations of items aimed at maintaining commercial integrity and strategy.
Finally, technical rules are evaluated to ensure that the ordered products are compatible with any existing services or products previously purchased by the customer. This is commonly to prevent technical conflicts and, or to guarantee a seamless integration or user experience. These rules form a comprehensive framework for order validation, addressing geographical, regulatory, commercial, and technical aspects to ensure smooth, legal, and practical transaction processes.
