01 · What ALP is for Reliance

From scouting to keys-in-hand · in one system.

Problem

NSO ran on email + spreadsheets.

  • · Document exchange ran over email · ALP replaces with in-app uploads + comments per lead (PRD §Lead Creation)
  • · Approvals tracked manually across RE, BT, NSO, Format CFO, Apex
  • · Site assessment notes scattered · no audit trail
  • · No single state-by-state or format-by-format AOP funnel
What ALP does

One record per candidate site. End-to-end.

  • · Lead creation form + auto-generated Lead ID (ALP-2026-NNNN)
  • · 7-tab Lead Details · Overview → Site Visit → Validation → Approvals → Legal → Fit-Out → Payments
  • · 11-state lifecycle · ageing in days from BT-submission
  • · Role-Based Access Control scoped to state (RE) and format-category (BT)
  • · Activity log + backend audit trail per lead
Impact today

GJ-cluster pilot live, Apr-2026.

  • · Live data captured for the GJ-cluster pilot · including TEST leads from UAT
  • · 11-status taxonomy live · auto-applied filters by role
  • · SAML SSO with Reliance accounts · IRM-compliant
  • · 4 manual-update tabs ready for Phase 2 integration with Board / Sirion / R-Dash / SAP
02 · Phase 1 · what's live today

Nine initiatives · seven Done · two In Progress.

Source-of-truth status from ALP project plan for phase 1.xlsx. Each initiative below maps 1:1 to a row in that plan.

InitiativeWhat it doesStatus
1 · Governance & Access SAML SSO with Reliance accounts. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) across RE / BT / Legal / EPC teams · scoped by state, format-category, region. Done
2 · AOP & catchment ingestion Upload AOP data; tag catchment per lead. Powers the funnel cards on the dashboard. In Progress
3 · ALP Dashboard AOP funnel in 5 cards (RE view vs BT view differs). Leads table with filter, search, ageing column. Done
4 · Lead Creation Detailed lead form. Auto-generated Lead ID. Document upload + comments (replaces email exchange). Done
5 · Lead Journey workflow 7-tab Lead Details page · Progress Timeline (7 stages) · Activity Log · multi-function approval mechanism · manual updates from Board / Sirion / R-Dash / SAP / FR Portal pending Phase 2. Done
6 · Prototype for feedback Frontend-only prototype shipped to limited RE / BT / NSO users for early UAT. Done
7 · AI Business Feasibility scoring Ingest location intelligence from Retail Vista; AI scoring + recommendation per site. Blocked on Vista data + sub-team availability. Phase 2
8 · Email alerts & escalations 5–10 email triggers across the workflow · recipients + SLAs + escalation hierarchy gathered from formats. Done
9 · Feedback & Testing Feedback incorporation from PMs, formats, NSO. Testing across roles. In Progress

Risk register (per plan) · Retail Vista dependency · cross-format data-gathering for RBAC/SLA config · prototype-feedback turnaround.

03 · Lead lifecycle · how the platform works

11 statuses · 7 tabs · 7 timeline stages · live screens.

Every lead in ALP carries an ID, sits in one of 11 statuses, and progresses through a 7-tab Details page. The Progress Timeline widget at the top of every Lead Details collapses the journey into 7 stages from Site Details through Rent Declaration.

05 · Phase 2 · roadmap

Two horizons.

Group A is the explicit Phase 2 plan from the project file · scoped, sequenced, not yet started (per plan Sheet 2). Group B captures longer-horizon platform intent that does not yet have a PRD or build owner.

A · Phase 2 plan

ItemWhat it doesStatus
AI Business Feasibility scoring Standardise the go / no-go decision per site · ingest Retail Vista location intelligence · weight against past-store performance · iterate prompts and agent architecture. Planned
Retail Vista integration Auto-fetch Catchment ID per lead · feed feasibility model. Catalogued as mandatory in the project plan. Planned
Board · Approvals integration Replace manual Approvals-tab updates · two-way data exchange + redirection without re-login. Planned
Sirion · Legal integration Replace manual Legal-tab updates · LDD / LOI / Agreement milestones flow back into ALP. Planned
R-Dash · Construction integration Replace manual Construction/Fit-Out updates · SDR / RFC milestones reflect inside ALP. Planned
FR Portal / SAP · Payments integration Payments-tab cards updated post-approval via FR Portal & SAP integration. Planned
Mobile lead creation Limited-fields create-lead on mobile · including offline mode (subject to Reliance info-sec sign-off). Planned
Advanced forms Term Sheet · LDD · Site Evaluation Report · Rent Intelligence Dashboard · License Tracking · Maintenance. (Today only the SOW form ships; the rest are tagged Coming Soon.) Planned
Advanced SLA & escalation matrix Beyond the 5–10 live triggers · per-format and per-state SLA tiers, escalation hierarchy. Planned
AI summary on lead details Auto-generated summary of stage, last update, key blockers (today shown as "Coming soon" placeholder in screenshots). Planned
