Poor order management practices don’t just cost businesses time and money – they also have serious consequences for the planet. Consumers are increasingly demanding that the brands they buy from take action to reduce their impact on the environment. OneStock’s Order Management System provides solutions to support sustainable business.
Reduce waste through effective inventory management
Minimise end-of-season stock
With near real-time inventory visibility on each sales channel, our OMS improves every item’s potential to sell. Intelligent order orchestration and dynamic store fulfilment further enable stock optimisation by routing orders to stores where sell-through is slower, helping businesses avoid overstock situations that lead to waste.
Sustainable stock integration
To allow brands to operate a circular economy model, our OMS seamlessly integrates pre-loved, refurbished and rental products into the supply chain. This can help to reduce the demand for new manufacturing, create alternative revenue streams, extend the product lifecycle and reduce waste.
Reduce carbon emissions through intelligent order orchestration
Shipping route optimisation
Transportation plays a significant role in a company’s carbon footprint. OneStock OMS is designed to optimise order fulfilment by consolidating orders and minimising mileage. By shipping online orders from stores, rather than a centralised warehouse, you can minimise the distance an order needs to travel and enable eco-friendly last-mile fulfilment options like delivery by bike. This translates to lower fuel consumption and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Minimise split orders
OneStock’s order orchestration engine favours stock locations that can ship the entire order to reduce packaging waste and carbon emissions. However, if this is not possible, iterative orchestration rules can be configured to control how split orders are handled and minimise the number of parcels that will be shipped to the customer.
Encourage greener choices
Our OMS can promote greener delivery methods by displaying the carbon emissions for each fulfilment method at checkout. By comparing the impact of same-day home delivery with Click and Collect, for example, consumers can make more informed choices.
Why is sustainability so important?
Better brand perception
Customers have more access to information about a brand’s practices. Integrating sustainability across all channels not only meets customer expectations but also builds brand loyalty, as consumers are more likely to support businesses that align with their values.
Advanced supply chain processes
A key component of sustainability is decreasing the environmental impact of supply chain operations. Inventory visibility and fulfilment optimisation through an OMS increases stock turnover, reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact of supply chain operations.
