Serving the Engaged Customer The Engaged Customer On-Demand Fulfillment

Customers are mobile, connected, informed, and opinionated. If you fail to meet their demand where and when it occurs, customers will go elsewhere and tweet about it. Serving this new generation of customers requires a supply chain that is driven by customer needs and desires.

Profitable Differentiation SAP Innovations

Customers are closely connected to each other, highly informed, and acutely conscious of price and value. They’re faced with more choices – what, where, and when to buy – than ever before. Additionally, social media and enterprise mobility enable new trends to come in vogue within days and often become old news just a few weeks later. Anytime, anywhere availability is now the new normal. Brand loyalty is decreasing as product options proliferate. Customers will make other choices if what they want to buy is not available when they want it and where they want it, making demand for entire product categories highly variable.

2 / 25

Customers are also highly attuned to health, safety, and quality issues. Failure to anticipate their perceptions of quality, ingredients, materials, and safety could result in lost sales or costly recalls – not to mention a strike against brand equity. Keeping pace with these customer demands in a dynamic – even volatile – marketplace is exceptionally challenging.

Creating a Customer-Driven Supply Chain The Engaged Customer On-Demand Fulfillment

A customer-driven supply chain orchestrates every element of supply to satisfy demand wherever it occurs. Best-run companies anticipate customer demand and are ready to fulfill â€“ wherever and whenever it may be.

Profitable Differentiation SAP Innovations

Best-Run Retail

To satisfy highly variable and dynamic customer demand, you need to gain insights into buying behavior while mitigating risks of global demand and supply volatility. On the other hand, the imperative for reducing costs points to the need for optimizing inventory levels and controlling the complexity of a global network of vendors, warehouses, and stores.

With improved visibility into multichannel customer demand, a customer-driven supply chain can synchronize supply with your extended business network. Simultaneously, a customer-driven supply chain integrates and automates logistics and fulfillment across stores, warehouses, and transportation â€“ meeting demand where it actually occurs.

In addition to fulfilling demand, customer-driven supply chains must ensure service and product quality along the way. For example, returns and recalls need to be completed in an effective manner to protect both customers and the brand.

Understand customers’ buying patterns. Then, accurately predict future demand across the entire range of merchandise to realize the full benefits of customercentric retailing.

Optimized Inventory Efficient Processes

26% Fewer days in inventory with consensus-based collaborative forecasting Source: SAP Performance Benchmarking

Forecasting demand at the lowest level – SKU and location – enables the ability to pinpoint patterns specific to a location and to increase overall forecast accuracy.

Within the overall supply chain, retailers have the opportunity to influence customers’ buying behavior and get to know their preferences. There are millions of data records available that contain valuable information about what, when, and how their customers make buying decisions. And best-run retailers know how to use this wealth of information effectively to provide differentiating service.

Self-learning functionalities help ensure the forecast is fully automated and produces complete, reliable results across the entire assortment.

Accurate forecasting of customer demand includes understanding seasonal trends, the impact of holidays and other significant events, and the effect of price changes and promotional events. Even external factors, such as weather or competitor store openings, need to be considered. 7 / 25

Optimize Inventory Customer-Driven Supply Chain Predictable Demand

Inventory is the biggest cost factor in retail. Naturally, reducing inventory levels is of great interest to every retailer. On the other hand, having out-of-stocks can reduce sales and damage customer loyalty.

Optimized Inventory Efficient Processes

34% Lower transportation spend, where forecasting is performed for all combinations of SKUs and inventory locations Source: SAP Performance Benchmarking

Best-run companies know how to strike the ideal balance between inventory, service levels, and brand strategy while meeting vendor restrictions.

In a multiechelon supply chain, replenishment planning should start at the lowest level – typically at the store – and roll up to the next level.

Accomplishing this for thousands of product and location combinations requires an automated replenishment and allocation process driven by forecasted or planned customer demand.

To do this effectively, order quantities for each location are calculated for the next order and for a defined future period. This order forecast is used from the customer demand level up to the vendor level. As a result, this helps ensure that customer demand drives the entire supply chain and helps to prepare for more reliable and timely execution.

Every time a product is moved or touched, margins reduce. Knowing which channel or location create demand and where it should be fulfilled helps ensure that inventory is available where needed.

Execute Reliably and Efficiently Customer-Driven Supply Chain Predictable Demand

With margins decreasing, customer expectations rising, and mounting supply chain complexity, efficient and reliable execution has become mandatory for best-run retail companies.

Optimized Inventory Efficient Processes

13% Of retailers have advanced inventory management systems that provide visibility into inventory across all channels Source: SAP Performance Benchmarking

Efficient retail supply chains help ensure that products get to the customer at the lowest possible cost without compromising compliance and quality.

Shared inventory across channels, inventory visibility across all warehouses, and flexible fulfillment strategies enable retailers to improve fill rates, lead times, and inventory turns.

Best-run retailers forecast demand to plan warehouse and transportation capacity â€“ avoiding the need for short-term tendering.

With integrated and automated logistics and fulfillment processes, efficiency and reliability are enhanced. Real-time visibility and supply chain monitoring can help support management by exception and help mitigate supply chain risks.

The quicker a product moves from vendor to customer, the lower the handling, operating, and warehousing cost, as well as the risk of overage inventory. Customer-driven supply chains optimize the logistical flow of products by applying concepts such as cross-docking or flow-through approaches in their warehouses.
