Challenge Goals
"Energy Systems" is looking to build an interactive community that helps support their business partners. There are two types of partners/users that will be active in this community. The first user type are “Distributors”. Distributors purchase Heating and Cooling products from "Energy Systems" and sell them to “Contractors” who install these products in buildings. These contractor’s are the second user type that will be active in the community. Besides these 2 type of user, there will be region manager and "Energy Systems" employees who will be active in the community.
The schema of this community can be found in diagram-schema.jpg attached in this challenge details page.
Suggested Screens and Scenarios
01. Distributors Screens Scenario
A Distributer will need to be able to:
- Login
- Register for an Account and manage their account
- Register functionality creates an admin account for the Distributor company.
- Common registration form like username, password, name and address(s) of company headquarters, name of owner(s) and contact information, website address, enter names and emails or additional employees who can access site, after creating the user name and password for admin, the distributor company should provide level of authority for additional users later in the apps.
- Ability to access Terms & Conditions (T&C) of program (either shown on the screen for reading or PDF download), with acceptance mandatory.
- Ability to upload their company logo. This logo will be shown when user logs into site after the first time.
Once a Distributer is registered they can login (and participate in this new community). They will see a dashboard of information (that is important to them) This could include:
- Ability to "Apply for an Account"
- Year to date sales of products
- The number of accounts and the status or their applications

- Tab/Navigation with coverage map identifying where they have Contrators compared to their assigned territories
- Tab/Navigation for Inbox for requests to join the program from potential contractor who have asked the distributor for sponsorship.
- Enter initial data for sales of "Energy Systems" products to applicants request. This should have multiple categories available (BAS & HVAC for now).
- Ability to Accept or Reject the Contractor request (explanation required for rejection), email is sent to Company Corporate review
- See how much "Co-op Funding" they have acrrued. The Co-op Funding amount is based on performance of Co-op Programs. For example, for every dollar of products purchased by the Distributor, "Energy Systems" will add 5 cents to the Co-op Fund of the Distributor. This program is annual in nature and starts over at the beggining of each Fiscal Year (Oct 1 Start).
- See how they are performing against their Rebates. Distributors can receive rebates from "Energy Systems" for Growth or Volume performances. For example, our client will issue a rebate of 1% for FY Sales if the Distributor grows their business with "Energy Systems" for the year by X%. Each rebate can have either a "dollar" target or a "%". The should see how these rebates are calculating and "percent complete" value for their target.
