Internal order

Internal ordering means the process of employees filfing demand (e.g. for c-parts), which they require for their work. Typical products for this process are tools, personal protective equipment (ppe) or corporate wear. For filing the demand to the company ZUGSEIL offers two core process paths:

• Regular ordering - the standard process. Select from a list of products offered through internal catalogs.
• Assisted ordering - the enhanced process. Reduced list of products by rules defined by the organization or by artificial intelligence. Goal is to reduce the complexity of the process, to speed it up and simplify it. Goal is to reduce the time invest for internal ordering to the minimum.

Once the demand is filed, companies have two decide between two core fulfillment strategies:

• Local stock fulfillment - means the fastest availability of goods. Downsides are capital binding, warehousing and disposition planning costs.
• On demand purchasing - means slower availability and direct dependency on supplliers. Benefit is the reducion of warehousing cost. Capital binding and disposition planning can be negotiated with the suppliers.
