Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders and logistics service providers employ Central Order Management to govern customer orders uniformly across multiple sales channels, warehouse locations, and fulfillment hubs. The platform creates a shared data layer for essential process stages: stock verification, intelligent order routing (assignment to the optimal fulfillment point), shipment execution, and return processing. This eliminates duplicate handling, improves on-time delivery rates, and reduces manual coordination overhead—particularly valuable in omnichannel distribution (e-commerce, retail, B2B simultaneously).
