Case Study: Automating Order Management for a Mid-Sized Manufacturing & Distribution Company
A mid-sized industrial equipment manufacturer in the UAE was struggling to manage its growing network of distributors and B2B buyers across multiple regions. Their manual processes — from order confirmations to inventory tracking — were consuming excessive time and causing frequent delays.
To streamline operations and enhance real-time visibility, the company partnered with Coder Chaps to develop a custom B2B Manufacturing Portal designed specifically for manufacturers and distributors.
Challenges: Bottlenecks in the B2B Workflow
Before automation, the manufacturer faced several critical bottlenecks that were affecting their bottom line:
- Manual order approvals and quotation requests slowing down cycles.
- No centralized system for distributors and resellers to interact.
- Limited real-time insight into stock levels and shipment tracking.
- Frequent data mismatches between ERP and sales teams.
- Growing operational costs due to repetitive manual work.
Impact: These challenges were limiting scalability and negatively affecting client satisfaction across the UAE region.
