Hello to the community, First of all, I am new to the world of ofbiz. But from what I have seen it's very promising. I am currently preparing a pilot for telecom-specific needs and I have some questions :
In Telecom world, there is the notion of "parc" i.e installed products & services. It allows the customer to modify its installed services without reordering from the commercial catalog. There is the commercial parc (DSL subscriptions, Mobile subscriptions...) and there is the technical parc i.e. : telecom platforms, devices and infrastructures that are used by the commercial parc to deliver the service. 1- Is the idea of "installed products" is present in ofbiz? and if no, can you give me how can I add it (as an application? as a service? data to duplicate?...) 2- I want to put in my catalog a "service" to sell like Mobile phone subscription in a "pay monthly" or "pay as you go" fashion, so what type of product should I create and what are the attributes to use. For example : if you buy mobile "x" with 6/12/24 months subscription you pay just "y" for this mobile, but you can also buy it alone, in this case you should pay "z". 3- To support the subscription, there must be a "service activation" module, that tells : "hey, this customer has bought a 12 months subscription so give him the "technical" permission to use his phone and send him reccuring bill"s. I know that's a bit out of the scope of ofbiz, but, is this possible with ofbiz and if no, what is the best approach to implement this module using the ofbiz framework? 4- More generally, is there out there a successeful ofbiz omplementation in the telecom area, and if anyone of you have tried to make a pilot, or have been involved in a telecom-specific implementation using ofbiz. Many thanks by advance for any of your answers/comments. khalil -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Hello%2C-questions-about-adapting-ofbiz-to-specific-needs-tp17430140p17430140.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
