Supply Chain Management: SAP Order Management

High volume, high velocity, high expectation. These are the three key consequences of the rise of e-commerce and customer expectation today. The smoother and faster the flow, the more orders the company can process, and the quicker the business is able to grow.

Order Management Simply Defined

Order management refers to the process of receiving, tracking, and fulfilling customer orders. The order management process begins when an order is placed and ends when the customer gets the package. Some challenges for companies today include human errors, process backlogs, visibility, transportation errors, and poor communication.

An order management system can automate and streamline the ordering processes, with some companies choosing SAP Order Management for a solution. The entire process generally consists of accepting an order, picking, packing, and shipping the items. The SAP Hybris Order Management module helps organizations streamline the order processes across all the channels. Different search options are available under each category, where users can search for all the orders. Some options are delivery, pickup, or list of all orders available.
