Softeon’s Distributed Order Management Solution for Omni-Channel Commerce

Softeon’s Distributed Order Management Solution for Omni-Channel Commerce : Many companies continue to operate with dedicated inventories by channel, usually leading to higher than necessary total inventory levels and/or lost sales in some channels when channel inventories are depleted.There is growing recognition that the right solution is to have one pool of inventory from which all channels can draw – if you have the ability to control allocations by channel, customer, or other attributes. To do this well requires sophisticated inventory management capabilities.

Those advanced capabilities are exactly what Softeon brings to the table with its industry-leading Distributed Order Management (DOM) solution for retailers and consumer goods manufacturers. Specifically in the inventory allocation area, Softeon’s DOM provides the following capabilities:

Inventory allocation policies are set using a sophisticated yet easy to use rules-engine foundation. Inventory can be allocated at multiple levels and by multiple attributes, such as forecast, history, actual orders, and marketing allocation – and be used in parallel. In-transit or planned inventories can be allocated as well as on-hand inventory across the network. Mortgaging of inventory by channels, channel clusters – New Product Introduction, Auction (like eBay) – by channels. The system provides almost limitless flexibility in defining allocation formulas in situations where overall demand will exceed supply, such as proportional spread, minimum quantities, store clusters and more. The ability to change allocations on the fly depending on actual sales results or changes in the supply plan. With the core of these powerful allocation capabilities in the DOM module, the SOA-based architecture that underlies Softeon’s entire supply chain software platform means many of these capabilities can also be easily added to Softeon’s Warehouse Management System solution.
