Description

This IDC PeerScape highlights some best practices that retailers in Asia/Pacific are adopting through enhanced processes and technologies to strengthen customer experience, profitability, and sustainability across the end-to-end order life cycle. Achieving omni-channel success requires inventory, orders, and fulfillment to operate as a single, synchronized ecosystem powered by a real-time view of data. Within this unified framework, distinct processes and practices at each node, from demand forecasting and order orchestration to last-mile delivery and returns management, play a pivotal role in ensuring operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. By aligning these interconnected functions, retailers can unlock measurable value across service quality, cost optimization, and environmental performance."Omni-channel success in Asia/Pacific increasingly depends on how well retailers integrate inventory intelligence with operational agility," says Vijay Sarathi Gollapalli, research manager, IDC Retail Insights. "Retailers that build unified, data-driven inventory ecosystems are achieving measurable gains in fulfillment speed, customer satisfaction, and profit margins. The next wave of competitive advantage will come from leveraging predictive and sustainable inventory practices across the entire order life cycle."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
