IBM - Back Order Management
Gain supply chain efficiencies by minimizing Back Orders
The IBM Back Order Management application gets to the root cause of why back orders are occurring, high cycle times to fulfillment, and common problem areas across the business ecosystem, to reduce the number of backorders, increase free cash flow, and improve customer satisfaction. Backorders prove to be a major bottleneck in the supply chain and especially in specific industries like Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and high-value Manufacturing where the direct impact can be on human lives. It is a nice complement to identifying value within any Order to Cash and Procurement process.
This is where IBM and Celonis Combine their Strengths:
Improve Inventory Management.
Increase Free Cash Flow.
