The German Jordanian University (GJU) launched an information system for the Supply and Inventory Management Department SIMD (formerly known as the Supplies and Bidding Department), the system was developed in-house by the GJU digitalization project team in cooperation with the SIMD employees during the period between 2017 and the beginning of 2023.
The GJU President, Prof. Aladdin Al-Halhouli, stated during the launching ceremony of the system that it aims to organize and computerize all work procedures related to the purchase of supplies and services and inventory management at the university with accuracy and ease, which allows the completion and tracking of all related actions with the least time and effort by the users of the system.
Dr. Al-Halhouli praised the efforts and dedication of the GJU employees during the various project phases, starting with the university items classification, system design and development, and data entry, leading to the launching of the system, especially the efforts of the university digitalization project team led by Prof. Feras Al-Hawari, the supply and inventory management team, as well as the research and teaching assistants from all university Schools for their effective contribution in entering the data of all the previously purchased materials since the establishment of the university.
For his part, Prof. Feras Al-Hawari stated that the system is characterized by several features, such as its reliance on a unique tree to classify all university items; its support to process, evaluate, and review supplies requests; its computerization of all actions related to the purchase of supplies and services according to the Government Procurement System No. 8 of 2022 and its instructions; and its support to all procedures related to receiving, discharging, returning, and writing off materials.
Dr. Al-Hawari expressed his thanks and gratitude to all those who took part in successfully completing this important system, similarly to the previous systems that were developed by the university digitalization project team, such as MyGJU (university portal), MyGJU Guests, admission and registration system, student accounting system, human resources system, salary system, financial system, electronic payment services, examination system, help desk system, website, and others which saved the university a lot of costs in this regard.
