12 Nov 2024

Overview

A centralised inventory management approach that simplifies integration, enhances visibility, and enables flexible fulfilment across regions, making cross-border operations efficient and scalable.

Detailed Technical Description

Key Benefits

  • Simplified Inventory Integration
    Having a master inventory catalogue in place enables effortless integration with inventory source systems, reducing complexity and improving real-time inventory visibility across the organisation.
  • Support for Cross-Border Scenarios
    This setup provides the flexibility needed to handle cross-border fulfilment efficiently, accommodating diverse regional requirements and this can be achieved by configuring cross-border locations under a regional network.
  • Enhanced Visibility for Customer Service and Operations
    Customer Service (CS) and Operations (OPS) teams gain visibility into inventory across regions, which is especially valuable during cross-border fulfilment processes.
  • Efficient Location Allocation and Management
    Configuring locations at the master retailer level simplifies allocation by mapping appropriate locations within region-specific networks. For cross-border purposes, it also provides the flexibility to add or remove locations based on regional needs.
  • Faster Rollouts to New Regions
    This setup accelerates expansion into new regions by reducing integration work. With the foundational setup in place, only region-specific workflows need focus, making deployment quicker and more efficient.
  • No Impact on Performance
    Maintaining inventory in the master retailer does not impact platform performance.

By centralising these elements, the master retailer setup supports a streamlined and scalable approach to managing product and inventory information across multiple regions and/or brands.
