Ehrhardt Partner Group is extending its EPG ONE Supply Chain Execution Suite with a system-independent Order Management System designed to connect incoming demand with fulfilment execution.
Orders increasingly arrive through ERP platforms, webshops, portals, EDI, marketplaces, retail sites, file imports and manual entries. At the same time, inventory may be distributed across several warehouses and managed in separate applications. EPG ONE OMS brings these data streams into a central Order Hub, giving planning and operations teams a consolidated view of orders, stock, priorities and processing status.
From fragmented data to automated decisions
The platform validates customer, address, item, warehouse, shipping and inventory information before an order is released. Exceptions are identified with explanations, allowing teams to correct problems before they reach warehouse or transport operations.
Business rules then determine how each order should enter fulfilment. Service agreements, cut-off times, urgency, customer requirements and available inventory can influence release timing, priority and the downstream process. The approach is intended to reduce manual coordination for logistics providers managing multiple clients, as well as retailers and manufacturers operating across channels and stock locations.
EPG says the architecture can connect to existing ERP, warehouse and transport systems from different suppliers. Companies can therefore introduce the OMS without replacing their operational software. An event log records receipt, validation, orchestration and transfer to execution, supporting customer service and earlier detection of delays or possible SLA breaches.
Planned multi-site and AI capabilities
Future development includes more advanced multi-warehouse allocation, order splitting and consolidation, transport-management integration, returns and expanded analytics. Optional AI-supported functions, based on EPG’s AURA technology, are intended to let users describe selected fulfilment rules in natural language before the system converts them into orchestration logic.
The product is being developed with Ehrhardt Konoike Solutions, the joint venture established by EPG and Konoike Transport in July 2025. Its co-creation and fulfilment environment provides operational input from complex multi-customer logistics processes. More information is available from EPG.
