[0002] In today's retail enterprises, inventory management and order fulfillment are key links to ensure smooth business operations and customer satisfaction. However, traditional inventory management and order fulfillment methods often rely on historical data and experience judgment, which is difficult to accurately reflect the real-time changes in the market and the actual needs of customers.

[0003] Especially in terms of order fulfillment, existing technologies usually directly use historical logistics cycles as the basis for estimated delivery time. However, this method has obvious limitations. On the one hand, it cannot accurately reflect the actual situation of the current logistics progress. Unexpected factors such as logistics congestion and weather impact may cause the logistics time to be extended or shortened. On the other hand, it cannot make personalized predictions based on the specific needs and characteristics of different orders, such as the type of goods, quantity, shipping address and delivery address of the order.

[0004] In addition, in terms of cross-channel demand forecasting, existing technologies are often based on simple weighted average or single-factor forecasting models, which cannot fully consider the impact of channel characteristics and market dynamics on demand. This results in inaccurate forecasting results that cannot meet the needs of retail companies for refined operations.

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and improve the accuracy and efficiency of retail enterprise inventory management and order fulfillment, the present invention proposes a retail enterprise inventory collaborative management system based on intelligent order fulfillment and cross-channel demand forecasting.

[0096] As described above, compared with the exception handling solutions in the prior art that directly rely on manual monitoring and processing, there are shortcomings such as slow response speed, low processing efficiency and difficulty in preventing potential problems. This solution adopts an intelligent exception handling solution that establishes logistics models, parameter input, data comparison, error analysis and takes corrective measures. It can monitor logistics information in real time, promptly discover and accurately locate anomalies, and quickly take targeted corrective measures, which effectively improves the reliability and efficiency of order fulfillment, reduces the cost of exception handling, and significantly improves customer experience.

[0097] Preferably, when the entire logistics process is divided into multiple processes and a logistics prediction model is established, the following steps are included:

[0098] S41: Data acquisition, acquiring historical freight data, delivery information data, and receipt information data;

[0099] S42: Process prediction: predicting the entire logistics process based on the shipping information data and the receiving information data, wherein the predicted data includes the logistics transfer stations and key nodes of logistics;

[0100] S43: Model building: Based on the acquired data and predicted data, a logistics prediction model is established using a neural network algorithm.

[0101] As mentioned above, compared with the existing technology that uses logistics forecasting solutions based on empirical rules or simple statistics, which have the disadvantages of low prediction accuracy, poor adaptability and inability to effectively cope with complex and changeable logistics environments, this solution uses data acquisition, process prediction and neural network algorithm modeling to establish an intelligent logistics forecasting model. It can make full use of historical freight, delivery and receipt information data, accurately predict the transfer stations and key nodes of the entire logistics process, significantly improve the accuracy and flexibility of logistics forecasting, and provide strong technical support for optimizing logistics management and improving customer experience.

[0102] Preferably, the demand forecasting module includes the following steps when forecasting the demand for all channels based on historical sales data, market trends and promotional activities:

[0105] S53: Model construction and training: select a suitable forecasting model and use the collected data for training to build a demand forecasting model. The selectable forecasting models include exponential smoothing model, ARIMA model, support vector machine-based model, random forest model and neural network model.

This solution not only improves the accuracy of the forecast, but also timely discovers and handles problems in the forecast through result analysis, such as duplicate channel data and abnormal data, providing strong data support for retail enterprises' inventory management and market strategies.

[0109] Preferably, when the demand forecasting module forecasts the demand for all channels based on historical sales data, market trends and promotional factors, the principle formula for forecasting the demand for all channels is:

[0110]

[0111] Among them, Y is the demand of all channels, ω i is the weight of the ith channel, that is, the importance of the ith channel, X i is the demand for goods in the ith channel, where in, is the daily sales volume of the channel, α is the activity intensity coefficient, that is, the impact of promotional activities on sales, and Δ is the market trend coefficient, which indicates the impact of market trends on sales.

[0112] As mentioned above, compared with the existing technology that uses simple weighted average or single factor to predict omni-channel demand, this solution has the disadvantages of insufficient prediction accuracy and failure to fully consider the characteristics of each channel and the impact of market dynamics. This solution uses an omni-channel demand prediction formula that comprehensively considers channel weights, daily sales volume, activity intensity coefficients, and market trend coefficients, which can more accurately reflect the actual demand and market changes of each channel, thereby providing more accurate demand prediction results. This solution not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the prediction, but also provides a more scientific basis for retail companies' inventory management and market strategy formulation.

[0113] Preferably, the inventory collaborative management module includes the following steps when realizing real-time sharing of inventory information and intelligent early warning and optimizing inventory management:

[0117] S64: Inventory warning and adjustment: According to the set inventory warning threshold, the inventory is warned and the inventory is adjusted according to the current demand and predicted change.

[0118] As described above, the present invention realizes real-time sharing and intelligent early warning of inventory information by comprehensively collecting inventory data from various channels, deeply analyzing sales trends and the impact of promotional activities, and flexibly adjusting channel proportions and inventory call priorities. This solution not only significantly improves the level of refinement of inventory management, but also dynamically adjusts inventory according to actual demand and predicted changes, effectively avoiding inventory backlogs and out-of-stock risks, ensuring efficient and balanced inventory turnover, and providing strong support for operational optimization and cost control of retail enterprises.

[0119] As a preferred method, when adjusting the inventory call volume of each channel according to sales volume, promotion effect and sales volume change trend factors, the rules used are:

[0120] A11: When adjusting the inventory call volume of each channel, first set the priority. The inventory call volume of the channel within the set priority is its predicted sales volume.

[0121] A12: Determine the weight of each channel based on channel type and historical sales data, and allocate the inventory call volume for each channel from the inventory volume outside the priority level;

[0122] A13: The inventory call volume for each channel is updated at a set time period.

[0123] As mentioned above, compared with the existing technology that adopts a unified standard or a simple proportion to allocate inventory call volume, this solution has the disadvantage of not being able to flexibly respond to different channel characteristics and sales dynamic changes. This solution adopts an inventory call volume adjustment rule based on priority setting, channel weight ratio and time period update, which can more accurately match the actual demand and sales trend of each channel, and achieve efficient and flexible inventory call. This solution not only significantly improves inventory turnover efficiency, but also reduces inventory costs, enhances the retail enterprise's ability to respond to market changes, and provides a strong guarantee for the enterprise's operational optimization and competitiveness improvement.
