What is an Order Management System (OMS)?

OMS can mean different things in different contexts, but for Viare we see an OMS as a software application designed to effectively handle the entire order processing lifecycle for retail businesses. This includes order routing, orchestration, picking, packing and dispatch. It also provides a centralised platform to manage orders from various channels, including online marketplaces, eCommerce websites, brick-and-mortar stores, and more. The primary goal of an OMS is to streamline and automate order fulfilment processes, ensuring smooth operations and customer satisfaction.

When implemented correctly, good fulfilment solutions can drive significant cost savings through efficient picking, reduced freight costs, minimised split deliveries, and automated freight manifesting.

Significantly, they can also allow a business to leverage their entire network for delivery, combining distribution centres with stores acting as fulfilment locations and even leveraging fulfilment from suppliers and drop ship providers.

Moreover, a more reliable and dynamic fulfilment network gives the retailer confidence to offer a wider range of fulfilment options and get products to customers faster than before. Whilst this may seem complex, the right OMS can harness this potential and produce some amazing outcomes for customers and the business.
