Order Promising

Order promising software — finite capacity order scheduling | sedApta

Optimize inventory management by calculating the right levels of stock and availability in the matter of demand

When a customer asks when their order will be ready, the answer needs to be accurate — not optimistic. Order Promising gives your sales and customer service teams a real-time picture of available stock, production capacity, and distribution constraints, so every delivery date you commit to is one you can actually meet.

Main features of finite capacity dating

  • Proposes customer order delivery dates, analyzing warehouse availability and the master production schedule
  • Logically partitions warehouse availability, using service lanes and avoiding product uptake between different customer orders
  • Configures sort and allocation rules at any aggregation level (e.g. sales channel, customer, family or item)
  • Manages shortage situations by using a scalable library of fair share policies
  • Forces proposed date, coverage composition and executes manual allocation and de-allocation
  • Simulates different business scenarios and assesses them through a set of standard configurable KPIs
