Streamlining operations to achieve warehousing efficiency- the Challenge.

Before EasyEcom, all warehousing operations,i.e. Inwarding, shelving and outwarding happened manually through Excel. Orders were processed through the seller portal on Tata CliQ’s backend and the same was used to generate invoices and dispatch orders.

The 60/40 ratio of manual and automated intervention was unfavorable because it created silos in operations and communications. As a result, there was a dip in warehousing efficiency. 

Collaborating with EasyEcom

As an aggregator platform, TataCliQ operates their own warehouse and inventory and partners with individual sellers. TataCliQ handed over warehousing operations to EasyEcom to process orders received from both inventory models.streams. After extensive market research, TataCliq was impressed with EasyEcom’s ability to pull up data from the seller portal for the next stages.
