Challenge
The operations suffered like any other warehouse and online store that relied extensively on manual processes. As the client’s e-commerce network expanded across multiple stores and supplier platforms, their operations became increasingly difficult to manage. Some of the key challenges:
- No centralized view of orders, requiring teams to log into each store portal separately as sales channels expanded
- Manual order entries from external platforms, leading to delays and frequent errors
- Inventory managed through spreadsheets with no real-time stock counting or visibility
- Difficulty identifying item locations within the warehouse, slowing down fulfillment
- Limited visibility into overall sales and performance due to scattered data across platforms

Solution
- Bulk Imports: The client wanted to address the volume of orders as it was a barrier to growth and scalability. With bulk import, we enabled a large volume of orders from external platforms and supplier networks to be captured instantly within the system. Within this feature, we also provided two ways to manage orders: one from the client’s online platforms and one from other users. Users can also perform other actions in bulk, such as cancelling orders or sending messages to customers.
- Generate Orders: Order generation enables teams to create quotes and orders directly within the platform through a structured and guided workflow. Users can add supplier details, select products, attach references or specifications, and set automated reminders to ensure timely follow-ups. The order list provides a clear visual overview of customer types, order status, and production stages in real time. This organized visibility helps teams prioritize tasks, monitor progress efficiently, and maintain consistency throughout the entire order lifecycle, improving overall operational control.

Results
With a growing number of customer inquiries coming in every day, the support team found themselves constantly juggling calls, emails, and messages. Many of these were simple, repetitive questions, yet they consumed a significant portion of the team’s time. The challenge wasn’t just resolving queries, but keeping up with the volume from multiple platforms without overwhelming the team or slowing response times.
