Our client was facing declining growth rates. We identified that one of the reasons for this factor was that their approval process took longer than two days. The second reason complicating the issue was inefficiencies in their delivery network, resulting in escalating fuel costs and complaints from their dealer network. These issues got further complicated by continuous customer demands for their favorite products in the local stores on time. We also recognized that our client also needed to optimize its manufacturing supply chain to accommodate its growing needs.
