Order and Shipment Prioritization

Prioritize movement of goods based on actual demand

 

With distribution centers operating near capacity, how can you accelerate orders and shipments that are in highest demand, right now? Most companies operate in a “first-come, first-served” mode. They may have a high-demand product stacked in the yard, but the receiving staff doesn’t know where it is or which product to pull. They may persuade a vendor to expedite a product that is out of stock in the stores, only to find they can’t get an appointment in the receiving DC.

One Network lets you continuously prioritize orders and shipments based on real-time demand, actual supply, and transportation constraints. Get high-priority orders through the distribution centers faster, to meet real-time demand. And manage routine shipments more efficiently, too.

One Network order and shipment prioritization lets you:

  • Meet last-minute demand by prioritizing and scheduling orders and shipments, using all available supply options.
  • Prioritize realistically by accounting for dynamic and granular constraints such as real-time dock availability, warehouse capacity and transportation availability.
  • Stay informed with near real-time updates and alert management
  • Make last minute supply changes in order to meet last minute demand changes
  • Make cost trade-off analysis to support decisions to expedite or de-expedite orders and shipments.
  • Create collaboration workflows between the buyer, carrier, and the supplier.

Real-time order and shipment prioritization keeps service levels as high as possible for the most critical SKUs.
