Retail

The Retail industry was an early adopter of low-cost sourcing strategies. Most retailers are now also looking to improve the efficiency of their import operations to reduce cash-cash cycles and lower total delivered costs. They have always faced long lead times and supply chain variability, but these issues are magnified given the proliferation of products. Also, the over-reliance on promotional strategies and the tenuous link to sell-through forecasts causes inventory imbalances and lost sales.

Amber Road’s Global Trade Management (GTM) solution helps retailers streamline their value chain in a number of important ways.

Our Trade Planning solution models alternative sourcing and distribution strategies based on total landed costs and applicable regulatory controls. Our Trade Compliance solution automates the documentation process and establishes reasonable care throughout import and export operations.

Amber Road’s Transportation Management solution manages international freight and identifies landed cost variances due to logistics over-runs. Finally, our Performance Management solution implements Six Sigma initiatives with a comprehensive source of supply chain data and advanced analytical tools and scorecards.
