Order Promising
Finite capacity customer order dating
Optimize inventory management by calculating the right levels of stock and availability in the matter of demand
Order Promising is a finite-capacity order dating tool that provides a complete picture of supply and demand, taking into consideration the availability of stock, production plans and distribution rules configured by customers.
Main features of finite capacity dating

- 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
