Abstract : the competitive nature of clothing industry leaves no space for losing a sale or customer. Companies need to more
focus on staying in touch with existing customers and making them more satisfied and loyal. To obtain their loyalty, companies
should become more innovative and come up with new ideas and values to differentiate their brand from their competitors.
Multi-channel order management was a big step in which customers were provided with multiple outlet choices to make their
orders comfortably and flexibly. Benefiting from technology advancement, Omni-channel took a step further, removed the
process and activities boundaries, and set the customers free of being involved in company’s internal inventory and
information flow. Accordingly in Omni-channel order management systems, neither time nor location cause any limitation for
creating and managing an order, and customers enjoy the high level of flexibility and comfort. This is however a bit more
challenging on the company side where the multiple factors and variables come to the play, and make the problem very
complex. This paper addresses the most highlighted challenges of a real-world Omni-channel order management system in a
fashion clothing company in Australia. It illustrates how the order fulfillment process may be positively or negatively impacted
by Omni-channel, and discusses what are the best available improvements or solutions to make the business more efficient and
effective while still keeping the customers satisfied and loyal.
