Previously, the company had ERP system which helps to manage all accounting balances and control leftovers in all its warehouses. However, there were no online platform for Retail shops (B2B clients), so they had to follow "old-school" time-consuming procedures (multiple calls, long correspondence, paperwork and etc.) in order to purchase products. Even distributors faced issues because their ERP were different from ERP of the company, and thus incompatible with it.

Currently, manufacturer and distributors have the same ERP system and they are compatible with each other. Next goal is to implement simple user-friendly online platform for B2B clients will help to increase sales by making all purchases significantly quicker. Further platform development and implementation of B2C feature are expected after B2B feature will be proven to be effective

      • Clients base
      • Assortment
      • Market share
  • Needed collection:
    • Customers' data

    • Customers' ability to use online platform
      • Availability of PC and/or IOS/Android smartphone
      • Availability and quality of internet connection
    • Questionnaire for customers and for distributors to discover other issues

Possible uses of AI in analytics

  • Intellectual stock analytics with automatic order which will help to avoid either overflow or running out of stock; based on AI processing of both warehouse, sales and customers data.
  • AI suggestions of products to be purchased for clients based on previous purchases and customers data
  • Workforce planning - optimal labor allocation to ensure orders get out on time while eliminating overstaffing and understaffing.
