Who it is for.
For the head of infrastructure delivery buying racks, network equipment and spares from several manufacturers at once, who wants one place that takes every order, confirms the supplier can ship before a date is promised, builds and tests the kit before it leaves, holds the spares, handles every failure the same way, and hands over a record of every serial.
What is in, what is out.
In: the order desk; receipt at the dock; the staging floor with build sheets, firmware, burn-in, labels and pre-shipment sign-off; logistics to site; one spares pool and one RMA path across all lines; sanitization of returned media; the lifecycle and license record at handover.
Tested at the first build.
