Pull-based Fulfilment

The Solution

Smart distribution of orders across dispatch points

The solution allows for the distribution of orders across multiple dispatch points such as store fulfilment locations, distribution centres, dropship or suppliers dynamically and on-demand through a pull-based fulfilment approach.

Based on a configurable set of predefined rules and KPI targets, the solution designates the optimal distribution for each order at a specific point in time. It is completely scalable and can be utilised for hundreds of different dispatch points and high order volumes.

The Benefits

Optimise your fulfilment pipeline

Instantaneous evaluation ensures that no dispatch point becomes overloaded, the right orders are made available to the best-fit dispatch points, and improves the overall DIFOT (delivery in full on time) metric.

The solution balances the load across the fulfilment network through manageable site capacities, maintains a level playing field, and ensuring comparable KPI’s across all distribution teams.

It also minimises administration of the order flow. Stock is allocated at the time of pick and thus saves time spent searching for unavailable products, or trying to find alternative locations for out of stock items. Distribution centres can also be managed more precisely to predict order flows and thereby allow accurate resourcing decisions and forecasts.
