What DOM is
Distributed Order Management (DOM) is the ability to manage orders across a distributed network of stock sources - multiple warehouses, stores, dropship suppliers - with a centralised decision on how and where each order is fulfilled.
What it solves
When stock is spread across many locations, 'where do I optimally fulfil from?' becomes complex. DOM optimises globally: transport cost, delivery time, capacity balancing and minimising splits.
Key components
- Global stock visibility - one truth across all locations
- Routing engine - decides the optimal source per order
- Exception handling - stockouts, split, returns
How CRMconnect helps
CRMconnect provides DOM as part of the OMS: unified stock visibility across all locations and a routing engine that optimises fulfilment globally, not warehouse by warehouse - scalable as the network grows.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A chain with 4 regional warehouses and 20 stores moved orders between locations manually. With DOM in CRMconnect, each order is fulfilled automatically from the network-optimal source; fulfilment cost dropped 21%.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Difference between OMS and DOM?+
The OMS manages orders end-to-end. DOM is the specific OMS capability to optimise fulfilment across a distributed network of stock sources - relevant when you have many warehouses/stores/suppliers.
When do I need DOM?+
When you have stock in multiple locations (warehouses, stores, dropship) and want to fulfil optimally at network level, not in isolation per source. With a single source, DOM isn't needed.
Does DOM include supplier dropship?+
Yes. A modern distributed network also includes direct supplier fulfilment (dropship), treated as a virtual stock source the routing engine can choose.
