How do you fulfill customer orders cost effectively? In addition to shipping the right product at the right time, do you know which pool of inventory should you use to fill each order? From which location should you supply the customer? And if you don’t have the right item in stock, how should you process the raw materials into finished products of the right dimensions?

Strategic Systems has extensive experience in helping customers reduce their order fulfillment costs and lead times. We have worked with clients in several industries and developed industry specific solutions that evaluate the essential criteria and recommend the lowest cost response. Using our order fulfillment solutions, clients can:

• Optimize ‘groups’ of orders collectively, instead of fulfilling one order at a time. This can significantly lower total fulfillment costs when orders are competing for shared supply quantities.
• Optimize on transportation and logistics costs by evaluating fulfillment options across a broad supply network.
• Optimize on manufacturing costs if orders need to be produced from raw or semi-finished materials.
• Optimize on physical dimensions, available inventories, and material yields. Identify materials that can be processed further to meet each order’s unique requirements.
• Evaluate multiple fulfillment options based on different objectives and constraints, and select the ‘best’ – as per planners’ requirements.

Whether you need a specialized solution for allocating customers and orders to your distributed supply network, or a pre-configured application for process manufacturers, Strategic Systems’ can help lower your overall fulfillment costs and improve customer service lead times. Our fulfillment specialists can help implement the right business process and technology solution for your business.
