What was the Situation?

What were their Problems?
The problems because of the criteria mentioned above were as follows:
- Orders did not fulfil on time as the whole workflow process were not in sync.
- The client had no set priorities for the orders, which led to delays in shipment. The orders that had to be sent first got in the backlog and created last-minute rush and other inconveniences. Overall, the company reputation would get wounded badly if this system had continued.
- The prices from their suppliers were not in real-time, resulting in over-priced or under-priced quotes, leading to losing the orders or running them at a loss. These inaccurate quotes again led to our client’s customers being unhappy, the last thing that our clients wanted.
- The company with excellent potential for expansion could not move forward because of the above-listed issues.
