What It Is
AI-powered intelligent order routing achieving 70-90% automation vs 10-30% manual processes, with 40-60% improvement in key metrics.
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Manual data collection and analysis.
- Spreadsheet-based tracking and reporting.
- Periodic batch processing (daily/weekly).
- Email-based approvals and coordination.
- Limited real-time visibility and control.
Characteristics
- • Order Management System (OMS)
- • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
- • Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
- • Email systems for customer communication
- • Spreadsheets for manual tracking (in less sophisticated setups)
Pain Points
- ⚠ Static and inflexible routing rules that do not adapt to real-time changes.
- ⚠ Delays in inventory synchronization leading to stockout issues.
- ⚠ High reliance on manual intervention for exception handling.
- ⚠ Fragmented visibility across different sales channels.
- ⚠ Limited scalability as fulfillment networks expand.
- ⚠ Error-prone manual processes that increase operational costs.
- ⚠ Inability to optimize the complete cost profile of fulfillment.
- ⚠ Brittle logic in legacy systems that complicates routing decisions.
Future State
(Agentic)- AI agent continuously monitors data sources in real-time.
- ML models analyze patterns and detect opportunities/risks.
- Intelligent orchestration agent coordinates actions across systems.
- Automated execution with human-in-loop for exceptions.
- Continuous learning optimizes performance over time.
Characteristics
