APEX LIVE is extension of the APEX solution which PepsiCo is using to automate, manage and support cooler life cycle process. APEXLIVE has been enhanced to have better control and traceability of missing coolers and helps better control of process and master data. APEXLIVE system allows design flexibility for incorporating future solutions and acts as a platform for global leverage with a seamless interface with GTM solutions e.g. SAMNA in India. APEXLIVE tracks the Visi coolers throughout its life right from receipt in the MEM warehouse, installation, movement and repairs to retrials. During its life cycle a Visi goes through various states, stages and physical and logical locations. Although parts, accessories and non-core items are also part of APEXLIVE system but the inventory management of these parts does not happen in system. The system has in-built business rules to minimize scope of manual errors and hence allowing better traceability and control of Visi coolers.
