vertex · Order management

All channels. One order queue.

vertex is one view from click to doorstep, wherever the sale happened. It decides where each ships from.

Two channels sold the last unit.

Each channel kept its own queue.

A standalone OMS sees orders and guesses at stock. The warehouse hears late, the ERP last. Most mid-market retailers run 10+ systems and 50+ spreadsheets.

Sourcing picks the location and shows why.

Eligibility, stock, your rules, the promise and a score decide it. Rejected candidates stay on the record. vertex claims the stock as it decides, so the last unit is promised once. Positions are live, in seconds.

Available, held, inbound and out-of-stock by SKU and location.

Short picks don't stop the order.

Accept the work, pack, dispatch. Missing a unit? Record what’s there and continue, or send the work back. Carrier scans flag parcels likely to miss the promise.

Overdue and unassigned work sits in queues with an owner, a priority and the clock.

vertex hands the order on.

orbit supplies the stock and does the pick. horizon takes every state change. core takes the demand, so the next buy knows where the last one sold.

  • from orbitStock on hand by location, and the pick once vertex has chosen.
  • to horizonOrder state, capture to dispatch, for the ledger.
  • to coreDemand by channel and location, into the plan.

yukti fixes the shortfall behind the order.

When a store sells what the website promised, it proposes the rebalance or raises the replenishment, and vertex re-sources the sale. You approve, or let it run.

Interactive demo

YUKTI

Northgate just sold the last Rain Jacket Moss M on the floor, the one WO-48213 was holding. vertex has re-sourced the order to Kingsbridge, still next day.

Northgate now has zero available with 9 held for web.

THE PROPOSED FIX

A refill from Riverside DC lands on the 07:00 wave tomorrow and covers the 9 held plus the week. Bayside could rebalance, but is not over maximum on M.

Questions, answered.

Does vertex replace the warehouse system?

No. orbit receives, stores, picks and ships. vertex chooses the location and hands orbit the pick.

Does vertex take payments or create shipping labels?

No. Those stay with your storefront and carriers. vertex tracks the shipment.

Is vertex a planning tool?

No. core plans the season. vertex takes the order to the door and sends demand back.

Can orders be entered by hand?

Yes. Phone and email orders join the same queue.

How long does setup take?
