Company Background
The global leader in selling and distributing food and non-food products to restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other customers around the world.
Situation
The Customer has 50+ Business Units, and each of them has its own inventory & fulfillment systems. The educational facilities place bulk orders to the customers’ specific business units and run into product shortages.
In fact, customers couldn’t fulfill 50% of the accepted orders across their business units.
All 50+ business units have their own allocation strategy driven by dedicated inventory & fulfillment systems and cannot interoperate with each other.
Impact
When faced with product shortages and allocation challenges, UCBOS smartly looks up other business units’ inventory and shares soft allocate signals to admissible business units’ fulfillment systems.
UCBOS binds with the corporate policies and procedures on which business units can share the inventory.
UCBOS interoperates with other systems and no room for ripping or replacing those legacy systems.
Resolution
The fulfillment rate went up. Fulfilled 90% of the orders across the business units. The solution improved inventory optimization and SKU rationalization. This created opportunities for mass sourcing and network optimizations.
“The UCBOS augmentation delivers on the promise of accelerating speed to market while reducing the complexity and costs that are associated with the technology enablement of today’s complex supply chains!”
