Verlorene Aufträge durch fehlende Verfügbarkeitssicht
Definition
Without real-time inventory visibility, sales staff make conservative promises ('ship in 5–7 days') to avoid over-commitment. Customers comparing suppliers choose faster competitors. Or sales accepts order optimistically; inventory cannot fulfill, triggering refunds/penalties. Result 3 (PaperTracker) mentions 'sales order management' integration—implying manual handoff loses orders.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €15,000–€40,000/year per sales region (2–4% revenue loss on €500k–€1M annual sales)
- Frequency: Every order cycle; cumulative over 12 months
- Root Cause: Sales system not integrated with warehouse WES; no real-time API to confirm stock before promising delivery
