In the podcast interview, Joe and Dan discuss distributed order management (DOM).
WMS stands for warehouse management system, which is a set of policies and processes intended to organize the work of a warehouse or distribution center and ensure that the facility can operate efficiently and effectively.
Distributed order management (DOM) is a software system that provides integrated fulfillment planning and execution across multi-echelon, multi-node, multi-partner, and multi-channel supply chain networks.
Distributed Order Management System (DOMS) provides powerful capabilities to:
- Enable omnichannel commerce without modifying existing systems
- Serve as a centralized “Order Hub” in both B2C and B2C ecosystems
- Integrate the extended fulfillment supply chain
- Optimize inbound and outbound order routing
- Provide real-time, granular inventory and order visibility across an extended network
- Define and execute detailed inventory allocation and reservation rules
- Automate complex channel and customer order management requirements (back order management, subscriptions, new product introduction, etc.)
- Maximize profitability while meeting customer service commitments
Softeon’s broad suite of supply chain solutions improve customer’s operations and enhance their own customer’s satisfaction and experience.
