Supply Chain Operations (SCO) — Network Design & Flow Orchestration

Customer Class Cost-to-Serve Optimization Engine

Calculates cost-to-serve by customer class and generates a service model optimisation that aligns cost to customer value.

Key Capabilities

  • Ingests customer order, fulfilment, and logistics cost data with customer classification records with minimal transformation
  • Applies deterministic, auditable scoring rules — no black-box logic
  • Delivers ranked, prioritised recommendations with clear rationale
  • Supports what-if scenario testing with instant recalculation
  • Exports results to Excel / CSV for downstream workflow integration
  • Configurable thresholds and parameters via a structured JSON file

How It Works

Customer Class Cost-to-Serve Optimization Engine applies a deterministic optimisation framework. Input data is ingested, validated, and processed through configurable rules and constraints. The engine evaluates all viable options across the decision space, producing an optimised recommendation set with a full audit trail.

Inputs Required

  • Customer order records with volume, frequency, and value by customer class
  • Fulfilment cost data with picking, packing, and shipping cost attributed by order and customer
  • Logistics cost records with last-mile and transport cost allocated by customer and channel

Outputs & Deliverables

  • Cost-to-serve analysis by customer class with margin contribution and cost recovery rate
  • Service model optimisation showing cost and service trade-offs by customer tier
  • Customer profitability ranking with recommended service tier and fulfilment channel
