What is Order Management Software?

In essence, order management software is a central hub that tracks sales, orders, inventory, locations and fulfillment from all sales channels. It provides a single, global view of everything that’s “available to sell”, tracks order allocations, manages buffer stock and provides real-time stock availability to all sales channels to protect against overselling.

An Order Management System can be connected to your PIM (product information management), your ecommerce sites, sales & marketing channels, warehouse and distribution centres, business systems and much more. There are a multitude of business benefits to an OMS!

An Order Management System is a powerful tool for ecommerce;

a seamless order management process is integral to a positive customer experience.

What is a Distributed Order Management (DOM) System?

A DOM also includes a single, global view of real time inventory and inventory locations, allowing retailers to truly optimise their inventory allocation, fulfillment and distribution. Optimising fulfillment processes reduces costs and delivery time by shipping from the closest location with stock on hand.
