Our client is a leading online gifting platform offering diverse products, including flowers, cakes, plants, and personalized gift hampers. The platform stands out due to its unique multi-vendor management system, where local vendors fulfill all orders under the client brand, ensuring smooth and efficient service across various regions.
The client required a robust digital solution to simplify operations for customers and vendors. They sought to enhance user experience through a mobile and web application for customers and a dedicated mobile application for vendors. A crucial feature was the efficient management of multiple vendors, ensuring the right vendor was selected for each order without revealing their identities to the end customer.
01
Develop an intuitive and user-friendly mobile and web application for customers.
02
Create a comprehensive mobile application for vendors with an onboarding module.
03
Implement a sophisticated vendor management system that prioritizes vendors based on specific criteria such as ranking, customer feedback, and cost-effectiveness.
04
Maintain the brand’s identity throughout the order fulfillment process.
Research and Planning: The project began with an in-depth analysis of the client’s operational needs and market requirements. This phase involved identifying key pain points in the existing system and outlining the necessary features for the new platform.
Design and Development: Using agile methodologies, a scalable mobile and web application was designed for users, along with a separate mobile app for vendors. The development process focused on creating a seamless user interface and ensuring the platform could handle complex vendor management tasks efficiently.
Testing: Rigorous testing was conducted to ensure all functionalities, especially the vendor management feature, operated smoothly. The testing phase included both automated and manual tests to eliminate any potential issues.
The analysis phase revealed that the traditional vendor selection process was time-consuming and lacked transparency. The new platform needed to automate this process, prioritizing vendors based on a combination of factors without compromising the brand’s integrity.
The solution was a sophisticated multi-vendor management system embedded within the client’s mobile and web applications. The platform automatically filters and ranks vendors based on:
01
Automatically evaluates and prioritizes vendors based on performance metrics, ensuring that the highest-rated vendors are chosen first for each order.
02
Utilizes customer reviews and ratings to evaluate vendor reliability and service quality, guiding the system’s vendor selection process.
03
Assesses and compares vendor costs to ensure that orders are fulfilled most economically, optimizing both cost and service quality.
Once an order is placed, vendors within the relevant delivery area are ranked and notified sequentially based on their priority. If a top-ranked vendor does not respond within a set time frame, the system automatically moves on to the next vendor in line, ensuring timely delivery without revealing the vendors’ identities.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The automated vendor management system reduced order fulfillment time and minimized errors, leading to faster deliveries and higher customer satisfaction.
Brand Strengthening: By maintaining the client’s brand identity throughout the order process, customer trust was bolstered, resulting in increased brand loyalty.
Scalability: The platform’s design allows for easy scalability, enabling the client to expand into new markets without significant additional investment.
This project successfully transformed the client’s operational capabilities, providing them with an advanced platform that not only streamlined their multi-vendor management process but also enhanced the overall customer experience. The solution’s innovative approach to vendor management has set a new standard in the online gifting industry, positioning the client for continued growth and success.
