Inventory Operations

Cloud Services When tightly integrated with the point-of-service, commerce and call-

center applications, Oracle Retail Store Inventory Operations Cloud

Services provides accurate and timely visibility into discrete store

inventory positions that are critical in providing great customer service

and capitalizing on selling opportunities. Oracle Retail Store Inventory

Operations Cloud Services is the enabler that allows all customer

interaction points to use the inventory position data with confidence,

and leverages this visibility to ensure inventory is where it should be. It

is this visibility, accessibility and accuracy that is the linchpin in support

of all supply chain decisions.

ENTERPRISE-WIDE VISIBILITY TO STORES’ INVENTORY

POSITION

Oracle Retail Store Inventory Operations Cloud Services is fully integrated with the

Oracle Retail suite of solutions and cloud services (Oracle Retail Merchandising

System, Oracle Retail Warehouse Management System, Oracle Retail Price

Management, and Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service) to provide near real-time

data communications between stores, warehouses, and the corporate office.

Modern and pluggable web-service based integration enables retailers to connect in

real-time to third party solutions and technologies that update inventory such as

RFID, fresh item management solutions, or electronic shelves. These pre-built

integrations and open connection points eliminate the need for nightly batch

processing and delays in sharing of real-time inventory availability. With real-time

access to the store inventory data across the organization, Oracle Retail Store

Inventory Operations Cloud Services help ensure that business decisions are based

on accurate, real-time information.

On the shop floor, item, supplier, and container lookups provide quick access to

inventory related data when researching shelf replenishment opportunities or

responding to customer inquiries on stock availability. Systemic cycle count processes, with synchronized stock ledger updates with the core merchandising

system, ensures accurate unit and financial positions. While shelf replenishment

functionality facilitates the tracking and movement of goods from the backroom to

the shop floor, at the right time, to eliminate perceived out of stock situations and

avoid lost sales. Store outbound orders allow the store associate to create, change,

and approve outbound orders to a supplier, warehouse, or other store to ensure the

efficient use of inventory meets global objectives.

EMPOWER CUSTOMER ORDER FULFILLMENT

PROCESSES

Today, retailers are offering un-paralleled flexibility to customers in terms of

fulfillment options for the goods they purchase through digital and seamless

commerce channels. By supporting customer journeys such as ‘buy on-line, pickup

in-store’, and ‘buy on-line ship to home’, stores play a significant role in the

execution of fulfilling customer orders in the last mile. Oracle Retail Store Inventory

Operations Cloud Services enables retailers to succeed in ensuring consumer

satisfaction, while empowering associates with streamlined and efficient workflows.

Loaded with features such as pick list generation, picking, and shipping, stores can

fulfill customer orders with a wide variety of options like pickup at the store, ship

from a store to the customer, and ship from a store to another store for pickup. To

drive efficiency, advanced strategy settings allow store associates to be notified for

setting goods aside for customer order fulfillment as part of the inventory receiving

process. Alerts generated at appropriate times allow stores to process orders within

service level agreements, leading to the highest customer satisfaction.

SUPPORT IN-STORE ASSOCIATE MOBILITY AND

FLEXIBILITY

Oracle Retail Store Inventory Operations Cloud Services centers on providing

mobile workflow and access to the store associate to execute all inventory related

processes throughout the shop floor and backroom. While intuitive dashboards

provide store management the tools to monitor and correct inventory events in

real-time.

Deployable on the mobile operating system of choice (Android, iOS, Windows 10)

and backed by Oracle Security, Oracle Retail Store Inventory Operations Cloud

Services gives flexibility to retailers and their associates to leverage the hardware

that is best suited for their brand and operating model. This flexibility of device

support easily places inventory visibility and operations in the palm of every store

associate’s and manager’s hand.
