What We Set Out to Improve.

Industry
Hospitality

High-volume consumable logistics requiring local demand matching across 100+ distinct sites.

How We Worked
Dedicated product team

IPA Architect + 2 Backend Engineers + ERP Integration Specialist embedded within Supply Chain Ops.

Goal
Supply Chain Automation

Transitioning from manual, error-prone email-based ordering to a self-healing automated PO platform.

What We Built
Intelligent IPA Platform

A practical solution designed around the client’s existing tools, teams, and day-to-day workflow.

What Was Getting in the Way.

The client managed procurement for 100+ locations via disconnected spreadsheets and manual input from franchise managers. This delay led to a 15% discrepancy between actual stock and reported inventory, resulting in frequent emergency shipments and excessive waste.

The biggest issues were emergency surcharge, capital stagnation, and franchise coordination. The team needed a faster, clearer way to manage the work while keeping the right checks in place.

Emergency Surcharge
Unpredictable stock-outs required last-minute logistics at 3x the standard shipping rate.
Capital Stagnation
Over-ordering at 40% of locations caused trapped capital and high spoilage rates for perishables.
Franchise Coordination
Manual procurement workflows were cited as the #1 pain point by franchise owners, hindering new site expansion.
