Order Fulfillment

What does order fulfillment mean, and what is its connection to IT procurement?

Ever miss the time when that new laptop showed up just in time for your first day? That’s order fulfillment: the process of receiving, processing, and delivering IT equipment smoothly. Companies often help their order fulfillment run smoother by:

• Keeping a clear, up-to-date inventory of available equipment
• Automating approval workflows to cut down on bottlenecks
• Monitoring orders in real time to spot hiccups early
• Communicating frequently with stakeholders
• Standardizing packaging and configurations to streamline future orders
