Configurable, not coded
According to Gartner®, “by 2023, 50 percent of medium to large enterprise will have adopted a low code application program (LCAP) as one of their strategic application platforms.”² In responding to the trend toward low-code/no-code (LC/NC) applications, our digital commerce solutions are designed to be configured, not coded, making it a more modern open platform. Furthermore, it provides an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface that helps users modify order flows proactively to avoid disruptions. Using these tools, users can quickly deploy and scale with the latest fulfillment methods by leveraging pre-built connectors to various ERP, order intake, fulfillment, and delivery partners from our growing ecosystem.
Solution Architecture
One of the goals of Intelligent Order Management is enabling order intake from a variety of sources and passing them through the order orchestration and process layers within the application. Intelligent Order Management’s event-driven order orchestration services coordinate the events triggered by various APIs to different system connectors in order to make optimal fulfillment decisions. For the entire order life cycle, these decisions are continuously communicated and tracked across all fulfillment partners and legal entities.
As a result of being built on the Microsoft Power Platform, Intelligent Order Management was also designed to be integrated with other legacy systems in your business, enabling us to provide the low code-no code environment users need to respond quickly and intelligently to constraints and disruptions in the supply chain.
