We
have provided retailers improved visibility
to the status of their goods. While traditional
ERP systems have one “In Transit” inventory,
with supply chain tracking, retailers can
see the exact stage merchandise is in – be
it in the importer’s warehouse, Consolidator,
Port, Ship, De-consolidator, DC, or Store.
This also helps merchants look at the data
in a number of different ways. E.gs. Will
the Christmas trees arrive before the catalog
highlighting Christmas tree sale is distributed?
What merchandise will get impacted if there
is a strike in the LA port? What was the
lead time of all the goods shipped by Vendor
X?
