From Excel overwrites to 99.99%.

A young snacking brand that hit production, started receiving orders from across India, and managed them in a spreadsheet that kept overwriting itself. The founders knew where that ended.

About the brand

A nutrition gap, and a spreadsheet gap.

Gladful was launched in 2021 by siblings Parul and Manu Sharma after a doctor’s visit revealed that Parul’s young children were protein-deficient. The gap was knowledge as much as diet, and Gladful set out to close it with protein-packed products made from household staples, across breakfast, desserts and gift boxes. Operations run from Jaipur, marketing and sales from Gurgaon. When the brand moved past research into production, orders came from everywhere at once, and the spreadsheet did not keep up.

The challenge

Rudimentary, error-prone, and getting worse.

Orders were managed in Excel, which was prone to error from continuous overwrites. The team saw that manual order management would slow operations and create delays, and four problems were already visible.

01

Inaccurate orders, late shipments

Order inaccuracies and delayed shipments were producing SLA non-compliance before volume had even peaked.

02

No view of the workflow

Without visibility into order processing, orders were missed and picking errors went unnoticed until the customer noticed.

03

Expired inventory

Stock that expired before it sold was lost revenue, and nothing was tracking shelf life.

04

Returns from wrong deliveries

Erroneous deliveries came back as returns, at the brand’s cost and the customer’s patience.

The solution

One system for both ways of selling.

Gladful adopted an automated order management system to streamline processing and fulfilment while connecting its distributor network. It sells on both dropshipping and inventory-based models; EasyEcom accommodated both. This is the loop.
