Enter the Matrix

Like most businesses that operate to maximize profits, retailers seek to:

  • Maximize revenues,
  • Minimize expenses,
  • Mitigate risk.
Supply chain solutions that optimize performance throughout the extended supply chain enable retailers to:
  • Ensure smooth, continuous flow of merchandise
  • Maximize the speed of merchandise flow,
  • Enable flexibility to respond to change,
  • and more.
The Matrix in our headline refers to the juxtaposition of the retailer objectives from the first list to the extended supply chain capabilities from the second list. The resulting matrix offers insight to the benefits retailers derive from best-in-class vendor compliance, supplier performance management, business intelligence, and distribution management solutions:
  • Decreased supply chain costs,
  • Improved supply chain service cycles,
  • The right merchandise, at the right place, at the right time,
  • Optimal execution of the merchandising plan.
But, there's more to consider. What if you juxtapose the capabilities below with the need to increase revenue, decrease costs, and mitigate risk within the extended retail supply chain?
  • Communication and collaboration,
  • Leveraged business intelligence,
  • On-time delivery,
  • PO fill-rate,
  • ASN to PO accuracy.
The additional capabilities above create additional benefits in the Matrix. The bottom line is the competitive edge the retailer gains by optimizing performance within the extended supply chain.

How Retailers Win the Battle of the Supply Chains!
Retail and manufacturing distribution needs are fundamentally different. It just doesn't make sense for a retailer to buy a Warehouse Management System that is based on the needs of manufacturers.

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 pre- and post-distributed purchasing models.

Where do you get your edge? Flow. Go with it!
