The most important lesson we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that Supply Chain disruptions can occur without notice and require quick response. Hence, we incorporated a lot of capabilities to provide an Intelligent Cockpit that lets Customer Service teams, Supply Chain managers and even Store Manager to react to dynamic supply chain and fulfillment situations. This enables the users to analyze real-time data and make adjustments to the fulfillment settings without requiring system changes or lengthy deployment cycles.

GLOVIA®OM Intelligent Allocation and Order Orchestration:
GLOVIA® OM also closes a critical feedback loop with the order channel sources to ensure that the entire supply chain network is functioning smoothly. For example, if a store reaches its maximum capacity for handling BOPIS orders, or a distribution center experiences an unforeseen service outage, GLOVIA® OM can quickly take action by informing the eCommerce channels and manage the stress by rerouting order deliveries immediately. The very nature of a complex supply chain network is constant change. Thus, an intelligent allocation engine not only needs to contain a rich set of allocation rules, but it also needs to provide agility to businesses so they can react quickly to unplanned supply chain events. GLOVIA® OM’s fully configurable Intelligent Allocation Cockpit enables the creation and instrumentation of allocation rules via an intuitive user interface, allowing you to adjust any allocation setting.
As a centralized cross-channel order management solution, GLOVIA® OM enables orders to be allocated intelligently from not just any source, but the best source. Location, assortment, customer delivery commitment and cost form the core of the decisioning GLOVIA® OM appraises. Factors such as inventory outflow velocity, inbound order and outbound channel priorities, as well as execution performance history, are just some of the other key factors GLOVIA® OM can evaluate prior to routing, and all in real-time. For example, store associates can be empowered to get insight into inventory visibility across all stores and warehouses as well as reserve inventory for customers at other locations, for pickup, or shipping.
- Intelligence Setting: Allows you to choose which configuration to analyze while allocating orders. At the basic level, the allocation engine can appraise inventory availability and product shelf life before allocating to an order. Conversely, settings can be adjusted upward to appraise many other configurations like customer profile, shipping distance, cost or routing, warehouse group, and order splits. GLOVIA® OM can also employ AI to drive recommendations when fulfillment is extremely complex, and velocities are high.
- Granularity Settings: You can set allocation rules that are applicable to all orders (Org Default). You can also instrument the Allocation Engine based on finer attributes like specific product and warehouses, order types, even down to the order line item. Demand Prioritization: Every order is important, but not each order is a priority for the day. Orders coming into GLOVIA® OM through specific channels can be prioritized for allocation depending on attributes like an order’s queue length for same day shipment, customer priority, carrier sequence and future orders.
