CFOs don't care about "operational efficiency." Not in the way you think. They care about three numbers that modern order operations directly impacts. After analyzing hundreds of enterprise implementations, here are the metrics that grab CFO attention: 𝟭. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 Modern order operations reduces inventory by 15-25% through real-time visibility (Gartner, 2021). Seeing exactly what inventory you have across all locations = holding less safety stock. 𝟮. 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 & 𝗜𝗧 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 At Pipe17, we’ve found order operations platforms reduce IT costs by 30-80% thanks to no-code connectivity. No more custom integrations means no more developer bottlenecks that, with traditional OMS, required an around-the-clock IT team. 𝟯. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 We’ve worked with companies adding new sales channels (e.g. TikTok Shop) who went on to see $10M+ in fresh first-year revenue – but only once their operations supported rapid channel expansion without manual workarounds. Want to get started thinking like a winning CFO? You need order operations modernization. Start by tracking inventory reduction, labor savings, and new channel revenue over 12 months. Present quarterly progress to your team against these three metrics. The biggest savings are in inventory and people, while the biggest profits are gained through new channel sales. Only modern order operations directly links the two. — Sources: 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳, 2021, “𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴,” https://lnkd.in/g8u36gW7 𝘕𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴, 2025, “𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘛𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴,” https://lnkd.in/gnqA_7Sw

Tariff Intelligence is said to be the market’s only supply chain visibility solution that enables users to map their tariff exposure down to the raw material and part-level. “Tariff shifts and trade restrictions don’t just strike a single border, they ricochet through every screw, chip, and chemical inside a product that may cross half a dozen countries before it arrives at a hospital, smartphone, or data center near you,” says Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. “Exiger’s Tariff Intelligence gives companies a live, part-level x-ray of that exposure and an AI playbook to pivot production, sourcing, and routing to drive resilience and profitability. Our goal is to steer our customers through tariff turbulence into a margin-positive, resilient supply chain—whether final assembly lands in Michigan, Munich, or Manila.” via Supply & Demand Chain Executive https://lnkd.in/eCJPupeA
