SCOPE AND APPROACH
The deployment of the Pandesic Solution is accomplished utilizing the
Pandesic Deployment Methodology. This methodology is comprised of four
phases, which are highlighted below:
1. PREPARATION
During the Preparation phase, the merchant completes the pre-work
and education is provided to the Merchant on the Pandesic System.
2. INSTALLATION
The hardware and software is delivered, setup, configured and tested.
3. INITIALIZATION
The merchant receives additional training and the Pandesic Solution
is personalized with basic store setup. Merchant tests the system.
4. ROLLOUT
Merchant completes store setup, develops the creative store front if
desired, and integrates the store into the existing web site if
applicable.
PREPARATION
The preparation phase of the project sets the foundation for the installation
and initialization of the system. It is during this phase that the Merchant

LIST AND TIMETABLE OF FUNCTIONALITY ENHANCEMENTS
------------------------------------------------
PHASE 1: ON INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENT: CUSTOMER BASED ORDER MANAGEMENT:
- Customer needs web based facility to make changes to their
outstanding orders. Changes will include adding line items,
deleting line items, change delivery dates
SOLUTION: Initial solution will provide customer with order change
capability but the back-end processing of those changes will result in
the cancellation and re-entry of the order. This will be invisible to
the customer except that he/she will receive a new order number when
changing orders. Longer term solution will be for customer changes to
be applied to the original order rather than deletion and creation of
a new order
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Front-end changes to allow customer to make
changes to the order, then taking those changes and passing them back
to the R/3 engine so the original order can be deleted then a new
order created. Longer term solution will require re-configuration of
the R/3 engine to allow for change orders and a front-end facility to
allow customers to make those changes.
REQUIREMENT: PRE-ORDERS AND BACK-ORDERS:
- System needs to allow the customer to distinguish between
pre-(advanced releases of videos) and back-orders (titles not in
stock)
- System needs to allow customer to order a DVD prior to official
release of the title
- Provide ability for customer select delivery/shipment options
such as "ship complete" or ship when three titles at a minimum
are available, etc.
SOLUTION: Creation of separate catalog categories, and the assignment of
specific videos to those categories will allow customers to
distinguish between pre-releases and other titles when browsing the
catalog. Pre-releases titles will be set with an inventory qty of 0,
allowing the customer to place the order. The Licensed Software will
treat these pre-release orders like back-orders. Distinction between
pre-release orders and standard back orders can be explained through
language on the site explaining the difference between pre-releases
and back-orders for titles already released. Customer would then have
the option to select either "ship order complete" or "ship when
available" for their order.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Enable the Licensed Software to allow the
consumer to select "ship order complete", indicating that the order is
not to be shipped until all line items are ready for delivery. The
Licensed Software's default setting is to ship each line item as it's
available. This will give the customer the choice to "ship when
available" or "ship order complete."
REQUIREMENT: COMBINE PICK AND PACK SLIP AND REDUCE THAT PROCESS TO ONE FORM:
-24-
SOLUTION: Merchant will attempt to use the Licensed Software standard
configuration of separate pick and pack slips, but reserves the right to
request re-configuration to a single form if this is not workable in the
long run.
REQUIREMENT: DYNAMIC CREATION OF "WHAT'S NEW", "COMING ATTRACTIONS", AND
SEARCH-ALPHA LIST.
SOLUTION: The Licensed Software will allow for "What's New" and "Coming
Attraction" categories in the catalog. To achieve this, Merchant only has
to assign individual titles to those categories. The Licensed Software
will also provide a "Search-Alpha" list for users to see all store titles
(except adult videos) in a single drop-down box.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Creation of a "Search-Alpha" capability.

adult and Playboy titles in any and all places these titles may
appear including withing the "new arrivals" section.
- Adult and Playboy title option display in user profile
SOLUTION: The Licensed Software will provide a capability to block
customers referred from certain sites from seeing adult titles. Concealed
adult titles on store front via secure access and "Adult title option
display in user profile" will be delivered in a later phase.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Track customers coming from certain sites and
prevent the "Adult-title" catalog category from being displayed to
customer.
REQUIREMENT: SEND EMAIL NOTIFICATION TO A CUSTOMER IF A PRE-ORDERED PRODUCT
SHIPPING DATE IS CHANGED. PROVIDE A MANUAL OR SCHEDULED PROCESS TO RUN EVERY N
DAY(S) TO EMAIL CUSTOMERS ABOUT STATUS CHANGES TO ORDERS.
SOLUTION: The Licensed Software already supports this requirement.
REQUIREMENT: PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ALLOW THE CUSTOMER TO ENTER SPECIFIC
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS ON AN ORDER SUCH AS "DO NOT INCLUDE INVOICE IN BOX".
SOLUTION: The Licensed Software is to provide capability to allow customer
to specify special shipping conditions. These requests will be in the form
of text based note entered by the customer at order placement time and will
print on the pick list.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Enable "special notes" field on order form.
These notes will print on pick list as special handling instructions for
warehouse.
-25-

from certain sites. This requires we associate a specific order from
a referred site. Creation of a report to identify orders actually
placed from referred site visits.

REQUIREMENT: PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO DEFINE SELECTED ORDERS FOR HUMAN REVIEW
PRIOR TO PROCESSING (I.E., HOLD ALL FOREIGN ORDERS, HOLD ORDERS THAT HAVE
DIFFERENT SHIP-TO ADDRESSES FROM ▇▇▇▇-TO ADDRESSES, HOLD MULTIPLE ORDERS FOR
THE SAME CREDIT CARD.)
SOLUTION: Pandesic and Merchant to work to refine requirements and
provide solution for June delivery.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Enable block order capability based on
Merchant conditions. Also provide Review Queue to allow Merchant to
view blocked orders and disposition as appropriate.
REQUIREMENT: STORE CUSTOMERS USER ACCOUNT PROFILE WITH CREDIT CARD
INFORMATION -- NEEDS TO STORE MULTIPLE CREDIT CARD NUMBERS.
SOLUTION: PANDESIC TO ADD TO VER. 2.1 ROADMAP. The Licensed Software
to provide functionality so consumer does not have to re-enter credit
card information if they've shopped at the store before. For June
delivery. The Licensed Software can either store the credit card numbers
with the customer account information on the same Pandesic server or
Pandesic can utilize the Cybercash database to retrieve previously used
credit cards. Pandesic will also work with Merchant to define longer term
solution requirements for inclusion into 2.1 release.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Custom work will depend on Merchant
solution preference:
a) Store credit card numbers on Pandesic server. The Licensed Software
will store multiple credit card numbers with the customers profile
information on the Pandesic server. Allow customer to either use
existing credit card info or enter a different number as an override.
b) Utilize Cybercash database to retrieve previously used credit cards:
Credit card numbers will not be stored on Pandesic server but rather
retrieved from remote Cybercash database using previous order
information.
REQUIREMENT: SUPPORT ORDERS TAKEN BY PHONE (1-800) AS WELL AS WWW.
-26-
SOLUTION: Pandesic is already working on 1-800 call center
templates which will allow Merchant 1-800 operators to utilize a more
efficient interface for placing phone orders. These new templates
will be ready for the June phase.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Provided Merchant is content with the
templates already being developed, there is no custom development
required. However, if the templates do not meet Merchant's needs,
custom work will be required.
PHASE 3: TARGETED FOR PANDESIC 2.1 RELEASE (SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST)

SOLUTION: ADD TO PANDESIC'S 2.1 ROADMAP. Pandesic is already planning
on staged shipments for ver. 2.1 but not currently planning on
staging by ship-to destination (country). Need to work with Merchant
to understand requirements and incorporate into 2.1 solution.
REQUIREMENT: PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ALLOW THE CUSTOMER TO SPECIFY A FIXED
NUMBER OF TITLES TO BE SHIPPED IN EACH SHIPMENT. THIS PROVIDES THE CUSTOMER
THE ABILITY TO MINIMIZE SHIPPING COSTS. EXAMPLE: "SHIP WHEN A MINIMUM OF
THREE TITLES ARE AVAILABLE."
SOLUTION: ADD TO PANDESIC'S 2.1 ROADMAP. Need to work with Merchant to
understand requirements and incorporate into 2.1 solution.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED: Modification to R-3 engine to allow for

REQUIREMENT: IF A CUSTOMER REQUESTS TWO BACKORDERED TITLES TO BE SHIPPED AS
AVAILABLE, AND THE ARRIVE ON THE SAME DAY BUT ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE IN
THE AFTERNOON, HOW MIGHT WE DEAL WITH THE SUPERFLUOUS SHIPPING CHARGES THAT
WOULD REQUIRE THE CUSTOMER TO PAY?
-27-
SOLUTION: Not a planned feature. Pandesic and Merchant to discuss for
consideration into future releases. The system will not generate
multiple shipping charges to the customer, however Merchant may incur
added shipping charges for the subsequent shipments.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT: Pandesic to deliver a consolidated batch picking
process that will provide ability to consolidate multiple deliveries
per order based on a Merchant schedule.
REQUIREMENT: CUSTOMER MAINTAINED ORDERS, "MULTIPLE" ORDER MANAGEMENT:
