Matflo Supply Chain software components cover virtually all aspects of omni-channel fulfilment. When deployed together these components provide complete control and visibility across the entire supply chain.

In today’s omni-channel mix of bricks and mortar set against eCommerce retail, supply chains which integrate both these different channels are standing out. Be it in terms of flexibility to deliver many permutations of the customer shopping experience, or being able to adapt rapidly to change as new retailing concepts evolve.

Matflo Supply Chain software components integrate seamlessly via a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), allowing you to take control of your Supply Chain based on real-time information exchange. You can mix and match when selecting the right components for your business, taking individual components or a more comprehensive suite.

Our customers are predominantly pure play eCommerce and more mature omni-channel retail businesses, based both within and outside the UK.

Supply Chain Visibility

To facilitate an optimised supply chain, accurate real time information and an end-to-end view of your entire supply chain is essential. Matflo 360o offers total visibility through the provision of components to give you a control tower view of your entire supply chain, and the ability to take action when appropriate.

As a leading provider of supply chain software, a common problem that we encounter is the perception amongst customers that fulfilment systems are just about warehouse management. In reality, fulfilment is about much more than this; once orders are captured via various channels, to optimise performance customers need systems to handle global inventory, order fulfilment determination, store replenishment, parcel carrier management and customer/supplier integration. All of these are satisfied by Matflo software components. Global inventory management underpins the entire supply chain.

Page 6: DAI Matflo Supply Chain Brochure

Global InventoryMatflo offers an inventory service providing a centralised global view of underlying inventory, across multiple fulfilment centres, stores, in-transit items and direct supplier systems.

• Provides global visibility of inventory throughout the enterprise

• Publishing this data in real-time to a website

• Enables sharing of a common inventory pool across multiple channels – stores and eCommerce

• High level of real-time inventory accuracy maximises stock availability and minimises fulfilment failure

• Prevents the same item being sold simultaneously by accident in different channels

• Handling of inventory reservation and release (e.g. basket times out without being confirmed)

• Ease of integration of additional WMS and other inventory systems as new sites are introduced

• Ability to expose data to customers and suppliers via portals

Page 7: DAI Matflo Supply Chain Brochure

Supply Chain Visibility

Functionality and benefits include:

• Valuation of inventory held within DCs, fulfilment centres and stores using weighted average costing

• Inventory valuation is performed within SAS; removes the need for underlying WMS systems to perform valuation

• Retailers can maintain sensitive valuation information within their own systems estate; third party systems e.g. WMS do not need to know

• Integration of finance-related information to connected retail replenishment and store sales systems

• Integration of credit and debit transactions to ERP financials

• Advanced alerting with end-user configurable alerts and alerting dashboard

• Financial reporting with end-user configurable reports

• Full audit trail

Stock AccountingManagement of inventory financials can be over-simplistic in many ERP packages. Integration of inventory movements from WMS to ERP can also be fraught with difficulties where eCommerce fulfilment is introduced, as many retailer systems have been adapted to consider an eCommerce fulfilment centre both as a distribution centre and as a store. The Matflo SAS (Stock Accounting System), a plug-in component to Matflo 360o Global Inventory, delivers a solution to these problems.

Matflo Stock Accounting delivers full inventory valuation at a level

beyond that achieved by ERP systems.

Matflo 360o Order Management allows

you to fulfil orders from one source or several, taking into account the

customer’s location, delivery preferences

and many other factors.

Order Fulfilment DeterminationWhere a customer’s order contains lines which can be fulfilled from a mixture of fulfilment centres, stores and direct suppliers, Fulfilment Determination can break down the order into consignments where each consignment is shipped from one fulfilment site on one day using one carrier service. This can take into account where best to ship from, inventory availability, manufacturing lead times, whether to consolidate to a single site prior to shipping to customer or whether to ship site specific consignments, carrier capability and handling methods etc.

Dynamic Delivery OptionsIf you want to offer different delivery options to the customer for different items in the order, Matflo components can help you to achieve this:

• The website accesses fulfilment determination in real time with the customer at checkout to break the customer’s multi-line order into consignments.

• Order Management then calls the Carrier Management System (CMS) Delivery Options Service for each consignment, so that CMS can establish a set of delivery dates separately for each consignment and offer these back to the customer via the website dynamically, thus significantly improving the customer experience.

Order ManagementOnce Global Inventory visibility is achieved, multiple fulfilment opportunities arise. Matflo 360o Order Management allows you to fulfil orders from one source or several, taking into account the customer’s location, delivery preferences and many other factors.

• Global visibility of all orders and order lines captured from multiple sources

• Breakdown of multi-line orders into consignments using fulfilment determination rules

• Visibility of consignments and original orders, and their progress

• Publishing of order / line status to websites

• Determination of Delivery Promise, factoring in:

• Time of day vs. order cut-off time• Day of week (where weekends are treated differently)• Delivery option selected by customer (e.g. standard, next day)• Fulfilment source (e.g. direct suppliers could have longer

lead time)

• Alerting of risk to delivery promise, via WMS status updates of late despatch, or CMS late delivery status updates

Supply Chain Visibility

Supplier and Customer PortalsIntegrating customers and suppliers closely into your supply chain via easily accessible secure web portals can bring numerous benefits to all.

At a headline level these include improved visibility of deliveries in transit into your network, and enabling the flexibility of direct supplier fulfilment to the end customer.

Supplier Portal• Secure supplier specific web portal

• Ability to view and edit their specific data

• Visibility of relevant purchase orders, and creation of advanced shipping notices (ASN)

• Inbound supply chain and projected forward workload visibility

• An alternative to direct systems integration into an order management system, particularly for small/medium or infrequent suppliers

• Allows direct suppliers to publish inventory levels to a central global inventory service and onwards to the web site, without the need for direct systems integration

• Allows direct suppliers access to fulfilment instructions, despatch documentation and address or carrier labels (sourced via CMS) without systems integration

Customer Portal• Secure customer specific web portal

• Ability to view their specific data

• Out-bound delivery visibility

• Stock status visibility

Integrating customers and suppliers closely into your supply chain via easily accessible secure web portals can bring numerous benefits to all.

Improved visibility of deliveries in transit into your network and enabling the flexibility

of direct supplier fulfilment to the end

customer.

Omni-channel Fulfilment

Click & CollectClick & Collect is becoming more and more important within the omni-channel landscape. It is arguably the most important and significant change in retail behaviour to happen in recent times. By introducing Click & Collect to your online customer proposition, you are handing your customers control of their purchases and thus offering the best customer service possible.

Matflo C+C can be used to track and handle your online orders once they have left the e-fulfilment operation, sorting parcels into orders, customer notifications, recording the critical customer handover and handling any returns (to the store or e-fulfilment operation) of any uncollected and/or unwanted orders.

• Improves customer experience and convenience significantly in multiple ways

• Provides a controlled and efficient process to manage the customer experience, thus reducing pressure on staff

• No specific new staff required - just train your existing retail staff

• Offering a service attractive to customers improves conversion rates

• Increases footfall in store, creating additional up-sale opportunities

• Typically no delivery costs, if utilising own transport fleet that has capacity (or usually cheaper carrier tariffs for B2B consolidated volumes)

Key facets of an effective omni-channel landscape are the delivery variants offered to the end customer. This includes not only the physical hand over transaction, but the processes behind this to maximise the efficiency of stock utilisation.

Matflo Click & Collect is deployed at over 450 different

sites in the UK.

Page 12: DAI Matflo Supply Chain Brochure

Omni-channel Fulfilment

In-Store FulfilmentFulfilling online orders from store can provide many benefits to the retailer. Stores can be used to offer same day delivery or click & collect, whereas an additional day’s lead time would usually apply if fulfilled from a central fulfilment centre. It can also act as an overflow during peak promotional events where capacity is breached within the fulfilment centre. In-store fulfilment can enable creative online selling strategies to drive store sales and greater inventory utilisation.

Matflo In-Store enables you to leverage your existing store inventory and labour resources to maximise omni-channel sales and improve the customer experience. Designed for ease of use by today’s retail workforce, Matflo In-Store allows sales associates to fulfil orders from your store inventory and is architected to ensure you meet your customer promise. The solution also provides confirmation when orders have been picked and packed, so inventory levels can be updated and shipment notifications sent internally and externally to the customer.

• Enables in-store order fulfilment, utilising all stock available, thus reducing central inventory requirements

• Increased online product offering to full range, not just what is held with the fulfilment centre

• Enables buy online and pick up in-store, sameday

• Enables store-to-store transfers for customer pick-up

• Provides integration to parcel carriers via Matflo CMS, to enable ship-to customer proposition (see Delivery Management Section, page 30)

• Monitor in-store fulfilment activity from a centralised fulfilment dashboard

• Enables back of store controlled inventory location management

• Reduces time & cost to fulfil

Matflo In-Store enables you to

leverage your existing store inventory and labour resources

to maximise omni-channel sales and

improve the customer experience.

Home Delivery Grocery

These solutions occupy a niche incorporating functionality derived from both the warehousing and in-store worlds, including, but not limited to:

• Full support for automation solutions: conveyor-supported zonal picking, Goods to Person pick stations, high throughput storage and retrieval systems (shuttle, miniload) etc.

• Communication with connected retail systems: global inventory, store replenishment, web order capture and management, transport planning and scheduling, in-vehicle delivery systems, payment systems

• Maximised transport van utilisation through volumetric planning

• Highly optimised picking solutions (pick trolleys, compressed pick walks)

• Interoperability with existing in-store inventory

• Single /multi-temperature delivery handling

• Highly dynamic fulfilment to handle up-to-the-minute order planning onto van routes

• Inventory date management

• Customer delivery documentation

Through our long history of providing fulfilment solutions to major grocery retailers both in the UK and abroad, DAI have become one of the leading providers of home delivery grocery fulfilment solutions. At the most specific level our offerings can be separated into two solutions:• Matflo FCMS (Fulfilment Centre Management System) – with

strong similarities to warehouse management systems, FCMS delivers management of dedicated grocery online fulfilment centres (sometimes termed ‘dark stores’)

• Matflo In-Store – delivers fulfilment of home delivery grocery orders from stores

A flexible and efficient warehouse management system is the key element underpinning the supply chain. Matflo WMS integrates planning, operations, people and equipment to provide unprecedented levels of flexibility, labour efficiency and fulfilment accuracy in the warehouse.

Gatehouse to Gatehouse CapabilityMatflo systems have added a new dimension to the traditional scope of standardised WMS packages. Based on field proven software modules but configured precisely for the customer, they give gatehouse to gatehouse capability. With a large installed customer base, our solutions are renowned for their high availability and low lifetime cost of ownership.

Operanally-oriented User InterfaceThe Matflo Operationally-oriented User Interface provides intuitive visualisation and control of warehouse processes. Far more than just queries, lists and detailed data, it provides information structured in a way which allows operational management teams to instantly visualise outstanding workload and current achievement.

Distribution Centre Management

DAI’s best-in-class Matflo WMS (Warehouse Management System) provides a total software solution for the management of a Distribution Centre.

26 27

Page 16: DAI Matflo Supply Chain Brochure

Distribution Centre Management

eCommerce and omni-channel need specialist WMS functionality, including:

• Ability to handle diverse order types with highly different characteristics - eCommerce vs retail replenishment

• Diversity of handling - cases, retail units, large palletised items etc.

• Dynamic order processing; order flow is highly dynamic in nature. WMS should re-evaluate the order well at frequent intervals - ‘one wave per day’ won’t allow you to meet rapid delivery service levels to customer

• Replenishment logic which factors in product historical movement speed, real-time order demand, and continually re-prioritises accordingly

• Picking solution must be efficient for multiple small orders; e.g. trolley, cluster and ‘batch order’ picking

• Voice picking option for both productivity and accuracy (Visual RF less productive but accurate; paper productive but inaccurate)

• Larger volume operations may have a strong business case to invest in automation e.g. goods-to-person picking solutions with automated storage; today’s solutions are highly modular and scalable

• Integration with carrier management system to provide dynamic carrier selection, accurate order prioritisation, parcel labelling etc. typically during packing operation

• Scan-packing

• Support for carrier sortation post-packing

• Support for ratio packs and composite SKUs etc.
