- Collaboration with internal teams on supplier selection and nomination.
- Supplier performance analytics and ongoing compliance checks.
- Supplier portal for improved capacity planning (via collaboration with suppliers), etc.
- Automatic alerts for suppliers to update expiring data (accreditations, certifications).
Value: reduced supply chain compliance and regulatory risks, improved supplier engagement, optimized sourcing strategy.
- Centralized multichannel sales order processing.
- Automated order routing to an optimal fulfillment location.
- Support of multiple order fulfillment methods and types (BOPIS, ship-from-store, same-day delivery, etc.).
- Return management.
Value: increased order fill rate, reduced order fulfillment costs, reduced shipping and expediting costs, increased customer satisfaction rate.
SCM software integrations we recommend
|
With ERP, MES, and other relevant internal systems (OMS, WMS, etc.) and third-party data sources – to improve supply chain planning. |
|
With hardware (barcode or RFID readers) – to automate employee workflows (e.g., inventory identification and tracking). |
|
With a business intelligence (BI) solution – to leverage supply chain data for enterprise-level analytics. |
