Examples of our work

01

A unique approach to transforming full services

Problem: A regional company having retail, wholesale and ecommerce operations had broken processes and tools across procure-to-pay (P2P) and order-to-cash (OTC) operations. The company was frustrated with excess inventory, spoilage, missing documents, customer escalations, cash flow issues, and interest on delayed tax filing which culminated in tax id cancellation.

 

Solution: We designed and implemented activities and business rules covering order sequence of procurement and end to end financial process. Our use of digitisation, smart workflow tools and cloud services drove significant value to day to day operations and enabled company to shift mindset towards innovation and growth opportunities. 

 

Value based business outcome: The simplified and automated material, document and data intake, triage, and routing process of end-to-end operations provided efficient workflow and end to end visibility. The company realised significant savings from reduced inventory, improved cashflow, lower resource spend and zero penalties on late filing of tax and book closure. 

 

Its B2C customers was provided with B2B style service experience by giving more emphasis on becoming a trusted advisor and advocate. We enabled company to channel customer feedbacks towards creating and improving its products and services.

 

 

New ways of working: 

 

The steps focused on amplifying value by implementing digital solutions, streamlining and automating processes, enabled faster and better business decisions and improved customer and supplier experience. Our zero-based approach of reimagining business from ground up enabled the company to reset its cost structures and free up cash flow for investment.
