Cost effectively fulfilling customer orders is critical to increasing company profitability. However, for companies with distributed manufacturing and warehousing networks, and those that need to process limited materials at each location into multiple orders, the decision is not that simple. Instead of considering inventory availability and transportation costs for an order at a time, you need to evaluate the various tradeoffs and determine what decisions make sense for an entire set of orders.
SmartFULFILLMENT helps you minimize order fulfillment costs by simultaneously evaluating a group of orders that need to be filled and recommending the best inventory pool and physical location for each order. In addition, for roll goods manufacturers, SmartFULFILLMENT can be combined with SmartTRIM to determine exactly how each order should be produced from available master coils or rolls of material. |
