Roadmap to Profitable Cross-Channel Allocation and Order Management Web Seminars
Effective inventory allocation decisions requires two critical elements: broad visibility to data and an allocation solution with substantial functional scope. Visibility to data means access to orders across all channels and a complete view of network inventory, including what's in-transit from the vendor, contained in multiple DC's, and already deployed at the retail stores. A comprehensive allocation solution needs to balance the needs of all order channels in real time with all network inventory positions while maximizing customer service and retail profitability. Today, channel-centric order management applications fall short of these requirements. Instead, leading retailers are implementing Distributed Order Management systems in-lieu of or in conjunction with channel-centric order management. Hear how David's Bridal added these business capabilities and rationalized their IT footprint by implementing Distributed Order Management. View
