ToolsGroup Launches Dynamic Fulfillment for Real-Time Order Fulfillment Optimization

ToolsGroup

ToolsGroup, a global leader in retail and supply chain planning and optimization software, today announced the launch of Dynamic Fulfillment, a new addition to the JustEnough® retail planning and execution suite. This capability enhances a retailer’s OMS with optimized fulfillment plan throughout omnichannel and ship-from-store networks, reducing costs, improving profits, and ensuring more satisfied customers. “The Dynamic Fulfillment solution from ToolsGroup helps us use data to make smarter, faster decisions to create an even better experience for our customers,” said Paul Kisicki, VP of IT at Zumiez. “The fulfillment optimization logic helps us generate operational efficiencies like reducing split rates and shipping costs while better serving the needs of our customers.” Unlike traditional, rule-based approaches, Dynamic Fulfillment evaluates every fulfillment option and simultaneously optimizes based on costs, margins, resources, and customer SLAs. Dynamic Fulfillment leverages real-time inventory, demand, and operational signals captured by ToolsGroup’s unique dynamic data unification platform, which provides a digital supply chain twin for optimal sourcing decisions. By integrating Dynamic Fulfillment into their existing order management systems, retailers realize benefits immediately upon adoption. Core Benefits of Dynamic Fulfillment: · Reduce actual cost-to-serve by minimizing shipping and labor costs · Increase margins by avoiding forecasted markdowns in stores · Maximize profitability while meeting customer SLAs · Integrate seamlessly with any OMS through API-powered composable architecture · Power faster, more accurate decision making with real-time data on inventory · Customers report up to 5% reduction in shipping costs and up to 2% margin improvement "Omnichannel fulfillment introduces new complexity into sourcing decisions. The increased size of the fulfillment network – from a handful of centralized fulfillment centers to hundreds of stores – makes it difficult to evaluate every possible option at the time an order is placed," said Inna Kuznetsova, CEO of ToolsGroup. "Our Dynamic Fulfillment solution analyzes hundreds of thousands of fulfillment permutations in real-time and optimizes based on multiple variables, considerably reducing shipping costs and delivering significant margin improvements." Dynamic Fulfillment integrates with the rest of the ToolsGroup JustEnough® solution to deliver unparalleled value and results to retailers around the world. With over 400 customers located in 45 countries, ToolsGroup enables intelligent decision making at the speed of business that transforms retail merchandising and supply chain planning.
