Business Challenge
A leading home goods retailer faced challenges with their sales cycle and data efficiency. B2B sales teams had to manually search for information across six different brand platforms to locate inventory to fulfill quotes and sales orders. This labor-intensive approach caused frequent back-and-forth communication with clients, leading to:
- Decline in the amount of B2B requests and sales orders that can be processed each day due to long sales cycles
- Time-consuming product search due to highly manual processes and a lack of communication between brands
- Delay in quote generation as a result of constant back-and-forth communication between major stakeholders and inaccurate inventory visibility
- Increased labor costs due to the laborious nature of cross checking between brand platforms
- Lost B2B orders and unsatisfied customers as a result of inefficient sales processes and slower than expected order processing times
