This white paper outlines challenges B2B organizations face when fulfilling complex orders across multiple divisions, partners, and channels. It details how fragmented inventory views and manual processes increase costs and risk missed SLAs. The document shows how augmenting ERP with real-time inventory visibility, intelligent order orchestration, and KPI monitoring enables companies to reduce carrying costs, automate fulfillment, and meet customer commitments profitably.

Key takeaways

Fragmented inventory across acquired units creates blind spots, excess stock, and higher fulfillment costs.

Complex orders with 30-300 lines require orchestration beyond ERP capabilities for accurate quoting and fulfillment.

Real-time inventory visibility across divisions and partners reduces carrying costs and backorders.

Order orchestration with AI-driven workflows automates sourcing, pricing, and fulfillment decisions.

SLA monitoring through OTIF and equipment uptime KPIs helps meet contractual commitments and avoid penalties.
