Order Management
Even for companies with only one channel or limited products, managing orders can prove remarkably difficult. Surprise delays lead to stock-outs. Sudden drops in demand generate excess inventory. When your supply chain is complex, managing your orders to ensure goods reach your customers on time and as specified can seem nearly impossible.
Then there is the issue of returns. Despite the best of intentions, a certain percentage of what a company sells will be returned. Part of managing the order lifecycle is having a streamlined process in place to efficiently and cost-effectively deal with returns.
AES can follow an order from the time it is placed by the customer at a store, online, via your call center until they're happy with the delivered product. And for the small percentage of customers that need to return an item, they can enjoy a painless process and will be more likely to continue to do business with you in the future. By managing the process efficiently from supplier to customer and back again—you save money, win future business and, most importantly, protect your brand image.
