OMNICHANNEL EXPERIENCE

Deliver consistent inventory across channels

Whether a customer is ordering a product to be delivered, shipped to a store, or picked up from a store, the retailer has to be able to fulfill the order. Many retailers still have disconnected systems managing product inventory for different channels, leading to issues with the customer experience and operational efficiency. Implementing a truly omnichannel service featuring seamless integration with the digital customer experience and fulfillment platform can remove friction points across all processes.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ACCURACY

Provide real-time access to enterprise inventory

Accurate and real-time information about inventory is crucial to ensure customers get the information they need on the products they want to buy. It also helps minimize order cancellations, avoids overstocking, and increases inventory turnover. Many retailers traditionally implemented enterprise inventory management as a part of wider order management systems. But the problem with these types of systems is they weren’t built to serve the high traffic volumes experienced on digital customer experience platforms. Replatforming to a unified enterprise inventory system solves this issue, providing real-time and up-to-date information.

MICROSERVICES ARCHITECTURE

Modernize monolithic fulfillment systems

While legacy monolithic platforms had duplicate information services as a part of the digital customer experience platform, fulfillment platform, and in-store platform, microservices architecture allows for a single, centralized inventory service. Microservices architecture and composable commerce principles ensure efficient integration with other services and decrease time to market for delivering new business features.

SMART SOURCING

Optimize delivery costs

With the introduction of “ship to store”, “ship from store”, “buy online pick up in-store” fulfillment models and their variations, calculating optimal order sourcing is becoming increasingly complex. If a retailer has hundreds or thousands of stores, legacy systems and algorithms may not be able to solve this problem in an optimal way. Modern inventory management systems are built with omnichannel smart sourcing in mind and can do it far more efficiently.

SAFETY STOCK OPTIMIZATION

Increase inventory turns with AI

Omnichannel fulfillment models created new challenges for inventory planning in stores. While it’s beneficial to sell online inventory that doesn’t sell out in stores, overselling in-store inventory can lead to an increase in stock problems and customer dissatisfaction. To avoid the problem, we augment the inventory management platform with AI-powered software that features safety stock optimization algorithms.

CLOUD-NATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Take advantage of the cloud

Cloud-native architecture has become a necessity for any modern system. With digital commerce platforms and fulfillment platforms deployed in the cloud, inventory management systems have to support cloud deployment as well. Our inventory management solution is built with cloud-native technologies and supports all major cloud providers.
