Client Overview

A global B2B2B sourcing and supply chain company that connects international retailers with over 200 factory partners. The company facilitates product discovery, catalog creation, and RFQ management across the retail ecosystem.

Prior to digital transformation, it relied on manual tools like spreadsheets, presentations, and emails to manage sourcing processes and product data.

Problem Statement

The company struggled to manage the large volume of product data and media assets coming from its factory partners. These assets were inconsistent, often scattered across multiple formats such as Excel, PowerPoint, and documents. Creating and sharing product catalogs with business customers was time-consuming and inefficient.

The lack of a centralized system also made it difficult for retailers to view product offerings or initiate the RFQ process digitally.

Key Challenges

  • Scattered Product Data:

    Product information from 200+ factory partners was shared via Excel sheets and unstructured documents, leading to data inconsistency

  • Manual Catalog Creation

    Product catalogs were built using PowerPoint, making the process time-consuming and error-prone

  • Inefficient Quotation Process

    Quotations and product details were exchanged over email, causing delays and communication gaps

  • Lack of a Centralized Platform

    Retailers had no digital access point to browse products or raise Requests for Quote (RFQs)

  • No Workflow Automation

    Product data management, asset handling, and quotation sharing lacked automation, increasing operational overhead
