As with most enterprise software, a warehouse management system is a great tool as long as it works efficiently. But it becomes counterproductive if it\u2019s too complex to operate or requires more effort for actual management instead of fulfilling orders.<\/p>\n<p>Our client critically needed to increase the efficiency of their <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/advanced-order-management-automation-solution\/\">order management system<\/a>. Due to the need for fast processing of canceled orders across geographies and time zones, cancelling orders had become a lengthy administrative burden. With dozens of cancellation tickets coming in every minute, operators could not manage their timely processing manually in the mainframe application on top of processing every ticket in the internal <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/enterprise-platforms-for-business\/\">enterprise resource planning (ERP) system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Delayed manual processing of canceled orders created more pressure on operators, raised total system costs by making inventory hard to predict, increased resource\/insurance expenses, and led to supply chain complications.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66265\" src=\"https:\/\/d17ocfn2f5o4rl.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CS-Design-Order-cancellation-automation_body-image.jpg\" alt=\"Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience Through Automation: An Order Cancellation Solution\" width=\"770\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CS-Design-Order-cancellation-automation_body-image.jpg 770w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CS-Design-Order-cancellation-automation_body-image-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CS-Design-Order-cancellation-automation_body-image-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Solution-delivered\">Solution delivered<\/h2>\n<p>With a project duration of two months, the Intellias team assisted the client\u2019s in-house experts by providing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Business analysis and end-to-end development of automated order cancellation, reducing the processing time from ten minutes down to one<\/li>\n<li>Web app automation, mainframe automation, direct database integrations, as well as all necessary technical documentation<\/li>\n<li>A robust and scalable solution that operates efficiently, especially during peak periods, resulting in checking order status every five minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"section-get-in-touch wow fadeInUp full-width\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-xs-12 content\">\n                    <div class=\"text-block\">Meet agile transformation demands by automating tasks, reducing errors, and enhancing efficiency<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"button-block\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/contact\/\" class=\"btn btn-filled\">Get in touch<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<h2 id=\"business-outcomes\">Business outcomes<\/h2>\n<p>Due to the complexity of warehouse management systems, particular tasks are more aptly performed via software algorithms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Previously, employees had to go through every cancelled notification in the inbox, then process tickets by hand as well as communicate each step with supply chain participants and manually enter data into a user-hostile mainframe app. The new <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/intelligent-automation-services\/\">automation bot<\/a> does the job <b>10 times faster<\/b> than a human could.<\/li>\n<li>By optimizing workflows, the solution <b>frees up time for five or more employees<\/b>, allowing them to focus on their core tasks of growing sales and improving customer relations.<\/li>\n<li>On top of the standard automation approach, the team implemented mainframe application automation, which <b>removed human transcription errors<\/b> by eliminating the need for a UI.<\/li>\n<li>Automations surrounding canceled orders <b>eliminate most of the administrative hassle<\/b> from the order cancellation process and also minimize excessive customer notifications providing order status updates, as ticket statuses are now transparent and traceable.<\/li>\n<li>The solution helped to <b>improve the bottom line<\/b> resulting in savings reaching six figures.
