Oracle Introduces Oracle Order Management Cloud and Oracle Global Order Promising Cloud, Enabling Order Fulfillment in the Cloud

Integration of new products with Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote Cloud and Oracle ERP Cloud delivers a complete quote-to-cash solution for overall sales cycle visibility and operational efficiency.

To help companies support their complete quote-to-cash process in the Cloud, Oracle announced the expansion of the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud with two new products, Oracle Order Management Cloud (PDF) and Oracle Global Order Promising Cloud (PDF). These two products provide modern order promising, management, visibility and fulfillment capabilities, and link the existing quote and sales process inOracle Configure, Price, and Quote Cloud (Oracle CPQ Cloud) and the pick, pack and ship processes in Oracle Inventory Cloud to billing in Oracle ERP Cloud.

In the past, these different processes were often siloed, particularly when some elements operated in the Cloud and some did not. This made it extremely difficult for companies to create a virtually seamless, transparent business flow, causing significant revenue leakage, high days sales outstanding, and customer dissatisfaction. With these two new products in the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud, Oracle can now deliver a complete quote-to-cash Cloud solution to drive enhanced customer experience, revenues, and margins.

“With the introduction of Oracle Order Management Cloud and Oracle Global Order Promising Cloud, customers can now run their entire quote-to-cash process in the Oracle Cloud,” said Jon Chorley, group vice president of supply chain management product strategy, Oracle. “By delivering an enterprise-class order management platform, which is also matched with quoting, sales, fulfillment and billing all in the Oracle Cloud, our customers can deliver uncompromising efficiency, satisfaction and performance.”

Oracle Order Management Cloud

Oracle Order Management Cloud is an order capture and fulfillment Cloud solution that is tightly integrated with Oracle Global Order Promising Cloud. It is designed to improve order handling across the order-to-cash process. Pre-integration, centrally-managed orchestration policies, global availability, and fulfillment monitoring can enable increased customer satisfaction and order profitability.

Key business benefits include:

• Centralized Order Monitoring: Centralized view of orders allows users to search for orders, view statuses, see a summary of exceptions of customer, product, or supplier, and drill into the data to view additional details.
• Manage Order Exceptions: Proactively identify orders that may not meet promise dates and take corrective actions and avoid customer dissatisfaction. Prioritize back orders to maximize key fulfillment metrics.
• Execute Against Predictable Order Orchestration Policies: Business users can define, implement and maintain their own fulfillment orchestration policies without the need to resort to technical programming tools decreasing systems cost and minimizing IT complexity.
• Change Management: Centralized change order logic supports consistent handling of order changes and revisions across all orders reducing order errors and processing costs
