Elevating Sales with Inventory & Delivery Availability
Manhattan Enterprise Promise & Fulfill™ enhances inventory and delivery-date availability during buyer ordering and fulfillment optimization, elevating sales revenue, boosting customer satisfaction, and improving fulfillment reliability without the need to change existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Improve Fulfillment Reliability, Boost Customer Satisfaction
Effective inventory availability and delivery information are crucial for B2B sales and fulfillment. Having accurate stock levels and delivery dates presented at the time of ordering can significantly influence purchasing decisions and customer satisfaction. Modern B2B buyers depend on this information to ensure timely order fulfillment that meets their business needs.
In wholesale and distribution environments, where orders are often large and time-sensitive, B2B merchants must provide real-time visibility into inventory and delivery details across all sales channels. This level of transparency builds trust and drives sales.
However, traditional ERP systems often struggle to deliver the real-time inventory availability data that modern B2B buyers require. These systems were designed for static inventory records and cannot effectively manage dynamic stock movements or accommodate complex delivery preferences. Consequently, they can frustrate buyers and hinder sales.
Additionally, ERP systems lack the advanced logic to enable B2B merchants to provide buyers with accurate order delivery-date promises. They cannot consider promising constraints related to multiple fulfillment locations, delivery restrictions, and customer preferences for delivery. While ERPs are essential for core business processes, including financial and billing aspects, their limitations in handling complex, real-time inventory availability and delivery date considerations can impede B2B sales and frustrate buyers.
Enterprise Promise & Fulfill helps B2B merchants overcome these challenges by enhancing existing ERP and order management systems with intelligent inventory availability management and delivery date promising capabilities tailored to modern B2B needs. These advanced order management features improve visibility and accuracy in inventory availability and delivery projections across a merchant’s sales channels and ordering methods, resulting in higher sales and improved customer satisfaction through a more transparent ordering process.
