Client Industry: Food & Beverages
Client Challenges:
- Cumbersome Reconciliation Process: The client, a leading global F&B brand, faced significant difficulties reconciling their sales data with various food ordering apps.
- Data Discrepancies: The manual reconciliation process was prone to data discrepancies, leading to inefficiencies.
- Time-Consuming and Costly: The manual process required considerable time and financial resources, impacting the client’s bottom line.
- Follow-Up Burden: Addressing data discrepancies involved substantial follow-up efforts, further straining resources.
Our Approach:
- Process Deep Dive: We conducted a thorough study of the client’s existing sales data reconciliation workflow, documenting our findings in an “As-Is” document to provide a clear view of the current state.
- Gap Analysis: Using the “As-Is” document, we performed a detailed gap analysis to pinpoint areas needing improvement.
- To-Be Vision: We developed a “To-Be” document based on the gap analysis and benchmarking, outlining an optimized future state for the reconciliation process. This included recommendations for automation, enhanced data integration, and streamlined workflows.
- Solution Design & Implementation: We designed and developed a custom application to automate the reconciliation process. This solution seamlessly integrated with the client’s internal systems and various food ordering app platforms.
Client Benefits:
- Significant Time Reduction: The reconciliation time was reduced from T+45 to T+1, significantly improving the client’s cash flow.
- Automation and Efficiency: 95% of the reconciliation processes were automated, allowing the client’s resources to focus on other critical tasks and improving overall efficiency.
- Cost Savings: The automation resulted in a 90% reduction in manpower costs, delivering substantial savings for the client.
