Digitalised warehouses do not automatically create a connected fulfilment operation. Orders may enter through enterprise software, ecommerce, EDI, marketplaces, portals or manual workflows, while stock is distributed across sites and applications. EPG ONE OMS is intended to provide the missing decision layer between that fragmented demand and execution.
Developed by Ehrhardt Partner Group as an extension of its EPG ONE Supply Chain Execution Suite, the system collects incoming orders in a central Order Hub. It adds fulfilment-relevant inventory data and presents order status, urgency and progress across channels and locations. For manufacturers, retailers and logistics providers, the aim is a more consistent operational picture without forcing a single-vendor technology strategy.
Rules before resources are committed
OMS validates key information before release, including customer and address data, order lines, warehouse assignment, shipping method and stock. Exceptions are explained centrally, allowing human teams to intervene where data or operational conditions do not support automatic processing.
Once an order is valid, business rules determine its route. Service-level commitments, cut-off times, customer priorities and current availability can govern release timing and downstream handling. This can make scarce inventory and operational capacity more visible, while reducing repetitive coordination between planning, customer service and warehouse teams.
The system is designed to connect with existing ERP, warehouse and transport platforms from different vendors. That incremental approach can support digital transformation where replacement projects would be too disruptive. An event log captures the order journey from receipt through validation and orchestration to transfer, improving traceability and helping identify delay or SLA risks earlier.
Building flexibility into the network
Planned capabilities include multi-warehouse allocation, order splitting and consolidation, TMS integration, returns and broader analytics. EPG is also developing AI-assisted configuration for defined scenarios. Users will be able to describe selected fulfilment requirements in natural language, with the system translating them into orchestration rules. The function draws on AURA technology but does not require a separate AURA deployment.
Development is taking place with Ehrhardt Konoike Solutions, the joint venture established by EPG and Konoike Transport in July 2025. Its operational setting contributes experience from multi-customer logistics. Information about the solution is available from EPG.
