What is order management software?
Order management software tracks orders from inception to delivery, and manages processes and data connected to the order as it moves through its life cycle. It tracks all information, including order capture, inventory management, order fulfillment and after-sales services and scheduling, and provides real-time visibility into orders from all channels.
Customers want better, faster and more personalized service
Your customers — whether they’re consumers or other businesses — don’t care what it takes to get their order from point A to point B. They just want what they ordered — when, where and how they want it delivered. To exceed expectations without hurting your bottom line, you’ve got to modernize fulfillment processes and master everything from available-to-promise to dynamic demand requirements.
IBM Sterling Order Management software provides you with:
- Real-time inventory visibility across the supply chain network
- Dynamic order monitoring based on promise dates
- Optimized sourcing to find the lowest cost to serve
- Unmatched fulfillment flexibility
All made smarter with AI.
