Automating ordering activities with a single app
February 2024
We created a seamless ordering process, that was the same across all departments.
This resulted in automated ordering processes for stores, while being able to base this on the demand forecasts.
The need
Automating the store ordering processes by providing the stores with algorithm-based order proposals to increase process efficiencies and reduce overstocks, out of stock and wastage. The solution was supposed to be built and continuously developed as a functional prototype. This meant it needed to be able to interact directly with the core systems and business logic of Coop.
Our solution
Project team designed, developed and agreed upon a single set of unified business processes and standard system solutions, across all departments and areas for forecasting, replenishment, order execution of promotions, allocations, and one common gateway for stores.
Results
- Demand and order forecasting
- Automated order proposals for stores and exceptions management
- Delivering order proposals for promotions to the stores
- Strategies to determine order proposals for stores
