Commerce Order Management (OMS)
Powerful, intuitive order management gives you full control of orders being placed
Best eCommerce Order Management System
There are several functions that make commercial sense to be managed within an eCommerce platform. An OMS or Order Management System is one of them. On this page we will dive into how to choose the right order management system to suit your business.
An OMS allows companies of all sizes to automate and streamline the sales and delivery process from point of sale to delivery. An OMS handles every aspect of your operation, ranging from orchestration of sales channels and products to syncing inventory levels and everything involved in managing customer orders.
How to choose the right order management system
Some specialist OMS’s are extremely extensive in nature and include a lot of functions that online-only retailers might not necessarily require. For example, some "OMS" technologies are warehouse management systems (WMSs) that were developed for the world's largest retailers. They require long lead times, frequent configuration, and huge development resources.
In contrast, there are very basic OM platforms that are suitable for small online stores with simple fulfilment options. Between them are platforms designed for omnichannel retailers with different levels of flexibility and usability.
An order management system is an integral part of a retailer's tech stack, so integrating it with the corporation's existing technology is crucial. Look for modern, headless technology that allows for seamless data exchange, custom workflows, and open APIs.
An OMS must seamlessly integrate with existing technology as well as with its users. Even non-technical retailer and marketing staff should be able to utilize its sophisticated capabilities.
When reviewing an OMS, ask yourself:
- What features do I need?
- How fast can I make changes to processes?
- What's my budget?
- Can I customize it for alternate payment methods and discount pricing?
- Do I need options for multiple currency management?
- How will my business change in the next 3-5 years, and will this system scale?
