Blue Agave's Fulfillment applications ensure that the right products get to the right locations at the right time. Through intelligent, continuous analysis of POS and RFID data, as well as data from internal systems, Blue Agave consistently anticipates and guides resolution of fulfillment issues that, if left unaddressed, will impact service and revenue. With these applications, organizations can leverage case/palette-level RFID signals to track inventory from their own warehouses, to their retailers' distribution centers, and onto the store. Shipping managers can monitor order activity and take actions when orders to retail stores are predicted to be late, incomplete, or missed. Warehouse managers can ensure that inventory is best positioned to fulfill demand from the retail channel. Finance and account teams gain immediate understanding of order exceptions that will impact financial results and accounting.
Blue Agave's Fulfillment applications include:
- Warehouse Stock-out
- Anticipates and identifies current and potential stock-outs at a retailer's distribution centers, down to the SKU level. Enables teams to consistently maintain adequate levels of inventory necessary to supply retail stores.
- Warehouse Excess
- Anticipates and identifies overstocking conditions at a retailer's distribution centers, down to the SKU level. Through early insight into trends toward overstocking situations, teams can avoid costly build-ups of excess inventory.
- Fill Rate
- Identifies order quantity shortfalls that are anticipated to impact an organization's fill rate percentage. With early indication that order performance is trending below target fill rate, teams can avoid retailer penalties and maintain service levels.
- Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD) via RFID
- Utilizing RFID data from the retailers' distribution centers and stores, provides electronic proof of delivery that orders have arrived as expected and exposes situations in which orders did not arrive. With immediate insight into the actual status of an order arrival, teams can act quickly when necessary.
- Invoice Settlement
- Leveraging RFID scans at the distribution center and store, immediately identifies mismatches between item, price, or quantity invoiced by supplier with payment received from retailer. Early notification of short payments gives teams more opportunity to gather evidence and more options to capture lost revenue.
- On-time Delivery
- Provides early indication that an order will be late or will miss a retailer's Must Arrive By Date (MABD). By delivering consistent, proactive visibility into impending late and missed orders, Blue Agave provides teams with options to respond before the customer is impacted.
