Logic’s Supply Chain Optimization Solutions

Logic bears deep expertise with planning, implementing, deploying and continuously supporting optimized retail supply chains through a number of specialized solutions, including:

• Order Management and Distributed Order Orchestration Order Management solutions from Logic provides your store and customer service associates with real-time access to inventory information in order to complete transactions using alternate fulfilment sources. Whenever a transaction is completed, your order brokering software can track and manage it in real time, choosing the optimum method to fill each product order, including drop shipment directly from the supplier, ship from an alternate distribution center, another store, or schedule a store pickup from a different location. By offering endless aisles and preventing stock-outs that leave your customers empty-handed, you can save the sale with partial-shipments or other complex ordering scenarios. The benefits of these solutions are multi-faceted: they quickly integrate new suppliers and sales channels, give you unprecedented control over order processes and ultimately increase customer satisfaction while simultaneously lowering costs. Supply chain infrastructure for most large retail organizations will only become more complex; and with these cutting-edge distributed order management solutions, you can ensure your business is ready for the future.

• Retail Demand Forecasting and Management Demand planning, forecasting and management are collaborative processes across multiple areas of the retail organization, with the goal of producing a reliable and accurate prediction of customer demand in order to properly manage product inventory levels. Done well, proper demand forecasting allows a retailer to transform their business from a reactive process, where the demand plan is adjusted based on the latest sales results, to a predictive process where the forecast anticipates customer behavior and events. By transforming your organization’s wealth of detailed data into insights which can be acted upon, and optimizing forecast accuracy based on seasonality, recent trends and causal factors, retail demand forecasting solutions from Logic help you meet your customers’ demands while reducing costly overstocks. Logic can guide your team to determine the best forecasting approach for your business model and each predicted selling pattern, enhancing your forecasting capabilities across all channels and help you to align and manage operations across the entire retail organization.

• Replenishment Optimization Replenishment optimization is an essential investment that enables retailers to balance inventory and prevent permanent markdowns of clearance or discontinued merchandise while ensuring that sufficient inventory is on the store shelves to avoid out-of-stock situations and the resulting lost sales opportunities. Logic’s replenishment optimization solutions empower your business with the tools needed to attain the perfect quantity of merchandise across all channels and at each point in the supply chain, fulfilling all sales without the risk of understocking and heavy costs of overstocking. With an automated workflow and streamlined approval process, your retail organization can achieve many benefits, including increased efficiency, reduced inventory levels, improved sell-through and better customer-service levels.

• Advanced Inventory Planning Logic can provide your organization with time-phased inventory replenishment, leveraging your existing demand forecasts and what-if scenarios. Through this solution, your business can reduce waste and spoilage by more accurately calculating your inventory needs and aggregating each store’s stock requirement into their associated distribution centers. This advantage makes advanced inventory planning particularly relevant in grocery and other perishable goods settings. Hard goods and specialty retailers can also benefit by reducing inventory overhead to create achievable replenishment plans which account for constraints within your supply chain operations, including related vendors, order requirements, product & inventory, freight, space, and labor availability and costs. By executing on an accurate inventory position and providing the right products in the right place at the right time—in the appropriate quantities—you can ensure your customers are able to find the products they demand without incurring costly overstocks.

• Warehouse Management Systems Retail warehouse management systems (WMS) are advanced solutions that support and optimize distribution center management. Logic’s experience with all of the leading retail WMS solutions provide your organization with the ability to optimize, monitor and evaluate warehouse tasks. From loading and unloading merchandise on vehicles, to picking and placing inventory in the stock room, prioritized work lists are assigned based on real-time conditions. WMS applications are also highly effective at supporting multichannel demand and execution initiatives, greatly enhancing the shopping experiences your brand can provide. Expand
• Transportation Management Systems Retailers leverage transportation management systems (TMS) to oversee and refine all transportation activities across their supply chain. By employing one of Logic’s TMS solutions, your organization can track all transportation processes in real time and optimize vehicle loads and travel routes, effectively minimizing freight costs and improving the level of service offered to customers. With real-time scheduling solutions, you can be alerted to any exceptions and keep customers informed on the status of your services and deliveries at all times, especially in the event of a complication or delay, thereby increasing customer service and satisfaction.
