Automated Order Allocation for Johnson Controls: 80% Faster Processing and 95% Accuracy

The Challenge

Manual Order Allocation Leading to Client Dissatisfaction and Operational Inefficiencies

Johnson Controls’ order allocation process was manual, leading to significant inaccuracies and client dissatisfaction. This challenge impacted both customer experience and operational efficiency. Key issues included:

  • Inaccurate Order Fulfillment: Due to the manual nature of order allocation, accuracy was near 0%, leading to delays and fulfillment issues.
  • Time-Intensive Data Gathering: The process required substantial manual effort, taking up valuable time and slowing response times for order processing.

The Solution

An Automated Allocation Model and Recommendation Engine for Accurate, Efficient Order Processing

We implemented a fully automated allocation model tailored to Johnson Controls’ specific requirements. The solution comprised:

  1. Data Pipeline Development: We collected, cleaned, and organized data from various sources into a unified dataset, enabling precise allocation insights.

  2. Automated Recommendation Engine: A custom-built recommendation engine was developed to forecast inventory needs and enable adjustable order allocations for real-time flexibility.

  3. Algorithm for Resource Allocation: A robust allocation algorithm was designed to optimize resource distribution, significantly increasing the accuracy of orders and reducing manual intervention.

The system provided Johnson Controls with a structured, predictive order allocation model, ensuring accuracy and enabling forward planning.

The Result

80% Reduction in Order Allocation Time and 95% Accuracy in Order Fulfillment

With the automated allocation model, Johnson Controls reduced order processing time by 80% and achieved a 95% accuracy rate in order fulfillment. This transformation not only streamlined operations but also significantly enhanced client satisfaction by ensuring timely and accurate deliveries.
