In order to collect user requirements and ensure that the DEVELOPMENT platform will accurately  "respond" to real problems of users, the DELPHI methodology is applied. This methodology is based on conducting interactive workshops with a coordinator and a group of the stakeholders involved. The process includes the use of a questionnaire and its completion by expert stakeholders through a facilitation process, to fully define the problem, discuss questions and potential solutions in three rounds of meetings. The ultimate purpose is to propose possible final approaches.

The DEVELOPMENT project considers that the participation of private companies in the process of collecting user requirements before implementing the end product is necessary in order to meet real problems of the industry. For this reason, the project plans to hold interactive workshops with the participation of specialized representatives from companies that are active in sectors such as product distribution, ERP/WMS software development and services provision, operation of e-commerce sites (e -shops & aggregated e-commerce sites) as well as products development and retail selling.

We are pleased to announce the start of the DEVELOPMENT “DevElopment of a demand sensing and added ValuE assessment tooLkit using machine Learning and OPerations ManagEmeNT algorithms” project implementation. The project is implemented through the collaboration of DOTSOFT SA (Coordinator) and the Center for Research and Technology Hellas / Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT). The project is expected to be completed within 24 months and is co-financed by the Innovation Investments Initiative within the Central Macedonia OP and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
