RDMS - Anticipates inbound shipment problems before they happen

To be successful in today's competitive market, retailers must provide an uninterrupted flow of merchandise to the sales floor. Merchandise stranded in distribution centers, on trucks and/or on vendor docks represent lost sales opportunities. With competition unrelenting----and customers unforgiving---- retailers must optimize every aspect of the distribution flow.

rDMS represents a new perspective on Retail Supply Chain Management. Architected specifically for the retail flow distribution model. rDMS fully supports the activities of central distribution centers, 3rd party logistics providers, and store receiving operations in both direct direct-store-delivery and central distribution models, as well as, supports pre- and post-distributed purchasing models. The design emphasis on retail-centric supply chains yields superior support for vendor performance verification, floor-ready service support, and same-platform integrated store receiving functionality. In short, rDMS provides a retail-centric, single source view of the retail logistics organization.
