Order Management

Create and manage orders, automate the order process, plan and execute across all layers of the supply chain.

Order Management delivers an automated order process that can be viewed and collaborated between sales representatives, customers, suppliers, and distribution. The key is the automation takes into account the multi-echelon nature of a supply chain and plans and executes across all layers of the supply chain. Additionally, One Network's unique business process technology allows the solution to adopt to the uniqueness of company's order processing versus requiring a company to adopt a "cookie-cutter" approach to ordering.

The result is:

Lower inventory levels and costs because order decisions are based on priority and criticality of items at the consumer level.
Competitive differentation because business process can be personalized for the company versus standard across competitors
Increased revenues because out-of-stocks are reduced and product is delivered to the right place at the right time.
Accurate delivery dates because orders are placed based on actual supply chain capacity

Customer Order Management

Consolidate and aggregate order forecasts into orders by optimizing the transportation cost
Consider weight, volume and quantity constraints
Consider compatibility rules

Deployment Order Management

The Deployment Order Management solution helps create and manage deployment orders. It takes allocation priorities into consideration to optimize the orders. Additionally, it can:

Create fully constrained orders taking supply into consideration
Consolidate and aggregate order forecasts into orders by optimizing the transportation cost
Consider weight, volume and quantity constraints
Consider compatibility rules

Work Order Managment

Work Order Management is the registration and tracking of the lifecycle as an order goes through various stages of transformation due to the production processes. This can be across internal or contract manufacturers. It can be a combination production such as assembly whereby various parts and components come together at the right stage to form one or more end or intermediate product or it can be a reverse where one part is split up into many. In real life, however, it ends up being a combination of such flows with inventory and capacity (machine, labor, etc.) being the bottlenecks which influences the actual throughput through such factories.
