Project Challenges
With the vision to scale and transform the business, they were facing the following challenges:

- Limited Visibility: Lack of real-time data visibility across the supply chain hindered the client’s ability to make informed decisions respond quickly to emerging trends and navigate changing consumer demands.

This complexity not only hindered operational efficiency but also restricted the client’s agility in responding to market fluctuations and competitive pressures.
