Order routing determines where orders will be allocated to optimize delivery time and cost.
Retailers often have questions related to order allocation, such as:
-
Why is this order still not routed after a brokering run?
-
Why was this order sent to this facility?
-
Which routing rule will be used to allocate this order?
-
Which facility will be selected to fulfill this order?
-
How are high-priority shipping orders handled by this brokering rule?
Test Drive answers all these questions and more by helping retailers test their routing setup for a specific order. Test Drive shows the order batch and inventory rule that will be used to allocate an order or if the order doesn’t qualify for routing all together, it highlights the contradicting filter.
For example, to check how a high-priority order will be processed, Test Drive clearly shows which routing rule will allocate the order. It also details which inventory rule in that batch will be used to allocate a facility.
Test Drive is available at three levels in routing configurations, Brokering Run, Routing Rule, and Inventory Rule. Testing at each level allows retailers to test granular changes as well as the larger impact of those changes in an entire group.
Here is a demo of Test Drive used for testing an expedited shipping order in a routing rule.
