This workflow automates the high-volume, repetitive decision of where to fulfill each order, a bottleneck that typically requires manual cross-referencing of inventory spreadsheets, carrier contracts, and supplier portals. The operational upside comes from systematically selecting the lowest landed-cost node that meets the service-level agreement, directly reducing freight spend by 8-15% and improving margin. Implementation requires integrating with WMS (e.g., Manhattan), ERP (e.g., SAP S/4HANA), and supplier APIs to create a real-time Available-to-Promise (ATP) view.
