The impact of new technologies and the tendency of today's market
towards excellence means there is a need for dynamic stocking and
a rising demand for customisation and added value, with strategies
to match.
Order fulfilment plays a strategic role here, and it has had to
take on the challenge of satisfying customer requirements quickly
and efficiently. The old system of minimum purchase amounts (full
pallets or cases) has given way to a new situation where orders
consisting of incomplete caseloads or separate articles are often
required. The market has a greater need for stocked product lines
and lower inventory levels, meaning a greater amount and frequency
of smaller orders.
Order fulfilment systems were traditionally designed for processing
a small volume of large-sized orders. With small-sized orders now
increasingly common, these systems are no longer efficient or effective,
distribution costs have risen and client service quality is lost
as a result.
Conclusion: companies that can handle orders accurately, quickly
and cheaply are those which will have a clear advantage over their
competitors.
For efficiency throughout the supply chain, a paperless technology-based
order fulfilment system is obviously the answer.
