Retailers managing large vendor networks face growing challenges in coordinating order fulfillment across multiple channels. Manual processes and legacy workflow tools often create bottlenecks, missed notifications, and limited visibility, resulting in dissatisfied customers and operational inefficiencies. To maintain competitiveness and deliver better service, the company needed a modern automation platform to manage order flows with greater transparency and control.
