The client is an eminent wholesale food distributor based out of Dubai, UAE. For more than 25 years, they have been serving around 20,000 food service outlets including hotels, cafes, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and schools through a formidable workforce of over 15,000 employees.
The client’s core challenge was the inefficiency of their order management process. Since the orders were mostly placed through phone calls or messaging apps and managed through multiple Excel sheets, delays and errors had become commonplace, especially during the peak season when the distributor struggled to fulfill demands coming in from various buyers.
Also, without a centralized platform to provide real-time visibility into inventory levels, overstocking and stockouts were frequent. In an industry marked with stiff competition, where customers demand hassle-free communication and impeccable service, the client felt the pressing need for a next-gen order management system.
