Order Management
(OMS)
What is an Order Management System?
An Order Management System (OMS) is a crucial tool that allows your company to track sales, process customer orders, manage inventory, and streamline the fulfillment process, ensuring a seamless digital commerce experience. By intelligently managing and harmonizing all steps from shopping to shipping, Salesforce Order Management helps you meet (and exceed) customer expectations in modern shopping.
It oversees the entire order lifecycle—from order capture to fulfillment and returns—integrating with the Salesforce platform to enhance customer relationship management and improve overall business operations. Built directly on the Salesforce platform, it can operate independently as a standalone system or be used alongside other complementary Salesforce cloud products.
How does an Order Management System work?
An OMS integrates various processes, including order capturing, inventory management, and shipping label generation, to create a seamless order management process. It efficiently routes orders from multiple sales channels, ensuring that customer orders are processed in real time. This system enhances customer experiences by providing visibility into order status and facilitating returns and refunds.

- Standard integration: Seamlessly integrate with Salesforce Commerce, Service, and Marketing Cloud, facilitating order capturing and providing a clear inventory for customer service teams.
