Locus’ Guide To Omnichannel Fulfilment
The advent of e-commerce has shaken the retail space, to facilitate faster gratification to customers, retail companies are trying to shorten their distribution processes by going the omnichannel way.
End-to-end supply-chain simulation & optimization basis minimizing total landed cost. Locus will model the supply-chain bottom-up and iteratively optimize for various scenarios and output the cost impact & re-designed supply-chain
Flow-based remapping to optimize Total Landed Cost (Logistics + Warehousing) while maintaining existing/ improving service levels.
Identifying optimal locations for Warehouses/RDCs for both consolidation and new warehouse opening scenarios
Multi-Echelon inventory optimization at every layer of supply-chain and identifying optimal safety+cycle stock levels so as to lower inventory holding costs.
In the global model, with Vendors and Warehouses distributed across the globe, sourcing becomes a dynamic process and strategic sourcing can result in substantial cost-saving opportunities. As a part of this exercise, Locus will optimize end-to-end supply-chain and run simulations to minimize total landed cost.
Generate Sourcing Rules to optimize Total Landed Cost (Logistics + Warehousing) while maintaining existing/improving service levels.
Identifying the most cost-efficient mode of transportation while maintaining current Service Levels (or improving upon them) and modeling all associated costs
Multi-Echelon inventory optimization at every layer of supply-chain and identifying optimal safety+cycle stock levels so as to lower inventory holding costs.
Optimise delivery/fulfillment route plans, for low vehicle travel time and distance traveled, high vehicle utilization and minimized overall logistics cost while respecting constraints.
Planning ideal fleet-mix at each Warehouse/DC/RDC to ensure maximum fleet utilization and minimum fleet costs while ensuring committed service-levels.
A given geographic region can be divided into multiple zones, followed by generation of Non-overlapping clusters for minimised logistics cost and better mapping, while respecting constraints
Generate delivery/fulfillment route plans, for minimising vehicle travel time and distance travelled, maximising vehicle utilisation and reducing overall logistics cost, while respecting constraints.
Omni-channel fulfillment is becoming the top priority for organizations and owing to complexities in terms of product mix and market dynamics, sales transformation is essential for market differentiation and value growth.
Locus provides mapping of outlets, service time analysis and revenue mix based on sales and product combination.
Generate sales beat plan based on non-overlapping clusters for most efficient sales field optimization.
Basis existing demand-patterns, total landed cost, and other business and operational constraints, Locus will optimize for ideal distributor to outlet mapping.
Backed by a world-class Data Science & Consulting team, Locus understands businesses, its operations and the granularity of business constraints associated with it. With years of supply chain expertise, we help clients optimize business decisions by reducing costs and increase serviceability and revenue.
