The advent of the supply-chain-wide, real time information systems—and the willingness of trading partners to collaborate at the execution level-- are revolutionizing how order fulfillment is done around the world. Distributed order management (DOM) is fast replacing conventional order fulfillment to speed cycle time and reduce inventory costs.

In fact, for a growing number of consumer and industrial markets, fulfilling orders only from inventory inside their warehouses is not fast enough to meet customer needs, and the cost of handling and shipping huge inventories is too expensive.

Nippon Express USA’s DOM takes order fulfillment to a new level of performance by providing you with:

• Global visibility into inventory held at other warehouses, supplier locations and even in-transit shipments and purchase orders, so you can have complete control over orders, suppliers and worldwide trading partners
  
  
• Proactive indicators of what inventory has been committed and what is scheduled to arrive at your warehouse
  
  
• Real-time visibility into customer orders at the line-item or bill of material level
  
  
• Automatic and seamless order splitting for fulfillment of each item from the lowest cost and best service source
