Delivery reliability
Confirm delivery dates that you can actually meet, thereby reducing missed deadlines and the need for special arrangements down the line.
Order Promising
Every delivery date confirmed with sedApta is based on actual inventory, production capacity, and logistics constraints updated in real time. Not based on estimates.
Order Promising: Delivering on Promises with Real Data and Capacity
Customer satisfaction stems from a promise: to deliver what was ordered, on time. Order Promising is the process that allows this promise to be transformed into a concrete commitment, based on reliable inventory, production, and logistics data. With sedApta and Elisa Industriq Italy solutions, every order is validated in real time against actual capacity and constraints, ensuring on-time and sustainable deliveries.
What is Order Promising?
Order Promising is at the heart of Supply Chain Execution. Unlike static approaches based on estimates, the solution simultaneously analyzes inventory levels, work in progress, supplier lead times, and warehouse constraints. The result: realistic delivery dates and dynamic priority management, even in complex and rapidly changing scenarios.
Why do manufacturers choose sedApta Order Promising?
Reliably confirming an order isn't just a matter of software. It means keeping track of inventory, production, and logistics all at the same time. These are the results that manufacturers achieve with sedApta Order Promising.
Customer satisfaction
Fewer renegotiations, less escalation. The customer receives a precise response, and the supply chain works to ensure it is met.
Optimal use of capacity and inventory
Available resources are allocated based on logic, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Less waste, less inventory tied up in low-priority orders.
Fulfillment costs under control
Fewer rush shipments, fewer exceptions handled manually, fewer hidden costs that erode the margin on each order.
What the engine does for you
Behind every reliable order confirmation is a calculation engine that works with real-world constraints. These are the key features of sedApta Order Promising.

Real-time ATP/CTP calculation: Checks stock availability and production capacity the moment an order arrives, without relying on static data or manual updates.
-
Scenario and what-if analysis: Allows you to simulate alternative scenarios before making a decision, evaluating the impact on deliveries, inventory, and production.

Smart conflict resolution: When resources are insufficient for all orders, the system applies configurable priority rules, avoiding decisions based on intuition or made in a rush.
-
Interactive re-planning: Allows you to manually adjust allocations and dates while maintaining consistency with plan constraints and visibility into ripple effects.
-
Integration with S&OP, and ERP systems: It integrates into the existing planning process without replacing it, sharing real-time data with upstream and downstream systems.
