According to the Forrester Wave report, “OMS adoption — and the value it adds to commerce experiences — has massively expanded in recent years.” Also in the report, Forrester describes the need for organizations to provide availability and delivery information in real-time and earlier in the shopping journey to meet customer demand. As a result of these latest trends, customers should look for providers that offer them real-time inventory and delivery updates, the flexibility to make near instantaneous adjustments, support the technical functions that fill current gaps and provide longer-term value, and stellar user experiences for practitioners.
Blue Yonder’s Order Management (OMS) microservice solutions offer customers responsive, real-time inventory visibility, profitable and capacity aware order sourcing, flexible orchestration linked with visibility and analytics, and store fulfillment that manages inventory to customer pickup. The augmentative microservices allow companies to align the technology to their strategies to adapt and scale even faster to keep pace, all while delivering a seamless consumer experience from engagement to delivery and support.
The Forrester Wave™: Order Management Systems, Q2 2023 report evaluated top OMS vendors in the market across strategy, current offering and market presence.
