Overview


Inventory

Reservations on expected stock

Expected stock can be tracked and communicated to shop systems via our platform. As a result, expected stock can be made available for sale before it has even arrived at the site or has been produced. If necessary, reservations can also be made on expected stock. Expected stock can be communicated to our systems via .

Go to get more information on making expected stock available for sale.

Outbound inventory describes stock that has already been picked for an order and has been physically separated from other stock. It is placed on an outbound location until being handed over to another party and finally, leaving the warehouse. Previously, users could already define whether stock should be booked out or transferred to a (virtual) outbound location after picking. In addition, it is now possible to specifically mark storage locations and their stock with the OUTBOUND trait.


Order Fulfillment

New checkout endpoints

Rework of the handover page for click & meet in the web app. The rework includes:

  • A list view providing information on picked vs. ordered items.

  • Showing respective reasons if the picked amount is lower than the ordered amount (also known as "short-pick").

  • An amount handler allowing the user to specify how many items were handed over.

  • The possibility to add refuse reasons, describing why the handover to the customer has not been successful.

  • Display of line item information on picked items along with refuse reasons in the Backoffice.

  • Re-design of the print overview

  • Showing packed items separately by parcel

  • Automated pre-fill of custom data if needed

  • Possibility to request a label per parcel

Redistribution of reservations

After a reservation has been assigned to an (expected) stock, our systems constantly ensure that the reservations can still be fulfilled. If reservations cannot be fulfilled anymore (due to, for example, stock becoming broken) our systems will try to re-distribute the reservations on stocks meeting the . In case there is no other stock available, the reservations are still tracked and assigned to a fitting stock as soon as any becomes available.

Earliest possible delivery date

Provides the earliest possible delivery date for an item or a list of items. This information can be used on a search result or product overview page to inform the shop user about when to expect the delivery of an item at the earliest. Go for more information.

Possible delivery dates within time period

Provides all available delivery dates based on a basket of items within a specific timeframe. This information can be used to provide the user with a calendar view on the product detail page or during checkout. In the calendar view, users can select the most suitable delivery date from all possible dates within the defined time frame. Go for more information.

Stock availability for delivery date

Provides available stock quantities over facilities for items on a specific delivery date. This information can be used on a product overview page or product detail page to determine the availability of certain items for a delivery day selected by the customer. Go for more information.
