Shipment Tracking and Vendor Collaboration Challenges
– Human Errors: Style Bazaar spent way too much money and time on human resources which made potential efforts only to result in finding more errors. This was a major trouble for the company and their foremost reason to find our Vendor Portal.
– Lack of Approvals, Structure, and Communication: Discretion followed by employees at Style Bazaar made it tough for the company to follow a structured process with proper approval procedures and communication. To replace such inconvenient methods, the company needed a prompt solution
.– In-efficient Shipment Tracking: From raising a purchase order up till its goods received confirmation, Style Bazaar had to follow manual tracking processes. This became cost and time extensive, which was again a concern for the company.
To address these problem statements, our team of experts at Supplymint presented Style bazaar with a solution that worked out the best for them.
