Sometimes you have to pick and choose...



When it comes to deciding who gets inventory sometimes you need to pick and choose 


Image result for allocationsNothing to do with your friends, this is just about business right? when you have limited availability on inventory sometimes you need the flexibility to review your open orders and decide who get's what. A simple FIFO model for allocating products or setting priority levels by customer might just not cut it.





With the new MDS Manual Allocation System making these decisions just got a lot easier, just point, click, and ship.

Decide on an order by order or customer by customer basis, you can drill down by customer or product and allocate partially or completely. By giving the tools and visibility into the allocation process you can allow the standard business rules you have in place but allow you to override on as as needed basis. Once again allowing you to maintain the best possible customer service by using technology to help you manage your business more effectively.

Many option's exist in the MDS system to either drop ship, cross dock, special order or alternate location ship products.. but in the event your customer needs it and you don't have it and can't get it right away - with the the update MDS Fill/Kill logic you can now gain visibility in real time to killed orders and send EDI acknowledgements to customer in real time advising them the items are out of stock and will not be shipping.. 

Save time , money, and frustration as the system will now manage the process of alerting the customer and making sure you don't order items that they will not accept..
