Are you losing sales because your e-commerce system doesn’t take into account incoming stock?
B2B e-commerce specialists, On Demand Solutions, have developed the solution: ODSNet – a full-featured B2B e-commerce system that links seamlessly to your ERP – streamlining your inventory management process.
On Demand Solutions’ Technical Director, Didrik Skantze, explained, “Inventory management takes place in a company’s ERP system, but unless your ERP system is integrated with your e-commerce system – even if you manage your stock in the most efficient way possible, it will be impossible to optimise the supply chain, as you will never be able to share correct and up to date stock information with customers”
He elucidated, “The most common way of displaying stock to customers is the “On Hand” stock figure, which is physical stock minus orders already received. The big problem with “On Hand” stock is that it does not take into account incoming stock, meaning that your website will display something as “out of stock”, when in fact there is a delivery due in good time to meet any customer orders that are placed today”.
“Put simply, ODSNet enables you to sell more without holding more physical stock, as it ensures that any incoming stock is also displayed to customers on your e-commerce site.”
ODSNet B2B has developed a high performance “Available to promise” feature that will immediately calculate what is actually available to the customer to order today, taking into account future stock. There are also a number of options of how this information can be displayed which can be configured to suit your products and market.
ODSNet comes with a host of other features and benefits too. Direct links back to your ERP system means information flows automatically to and from your website, so your staff don’t have to manually enter product, pricing or order details. There’s a high level of customer personalisation, so each customer automatically sees information relevant to their profile – products, price lists and promotions, and the ODSNet B2B platform looks good and makes you easier to do business with: a great way to stand out in a competitive market.
