Order Management’s Costly Risks

Increasingly Trade Operations and Customer Service organizations are seeking to leverage channel sales and demand data within the order management process to reduce costs, inefficiencies, and supply chain variability including:

  • Eliminating stock-outs and avoidable supply disruptions
  • Minimizing user errors and cycle time associated with manually checking orders against trade partner inventory positions, historical sales patterns, and agreed-upon sales plans
  • Controlling speculative inventory builds-and-burns and grey-market activities that lead to lost profits
  • Reducing financial risks of under or over-reserving accruals associated with channel sales such as returns and after sale rebates
