What is Order Management?

Order Management (OM), also known as Purchase Order Management (POM), is a solution or process a business uses to keep track of their purchase orders, inventory, and fulfillment throughout the lifecycle of their product.

Order management data is incredibly powerful for businesses to review in order to assess product pricing and manage relationships with vendors. Traditionally, order management begins when a buyer places an order with their vendor (creating a purchase order) and ends when delivered at the final destination.

What is the problem with Order Management?

For many businesses, there is a large hole where visibility drops off in Order Management systems from when the product has become available by the vendor to when it arrives into inventory.

When this happens, companies are left to coordinate with freight forwarders and Customs through burdensome un-tracked communications.  Meanwhile, status information must be manually collected and updated between legacy systems and Excel spreadsheets.
