RETAIL SOURCING SUPPORT SOLUTIONS
A series of Global systemic risks shook the world's core rhythmic functioning. The long line of obstruction in Global supply chain management for two consecutive years has produced a need in organizations to future-proof their procurement strategies. The bottlenecks along the way have emphasized the need to adapt to not just agile practices in Sourcing but understanding the precise routes to extracting the materials which don’t hamper the sustainability factors.
Being a retail sourcing support service provider, it isn't just a mandate for D'ART to map out and retool a precise sourcing & procurement model but to step aside from the crowd and reflect on its distinctness for the clients who are out and about developing, which has never been heard of.
The multi-faceted nature of the market makes us widen the horizon of our procurement tactics and customize the right innovation tool within the bandwidth of our clients. Hence, we split the sourcing strategy into two--- Service and Product. From there, we get down to the rudiments.
As we source both products and services, we get our facts straight by understanding the requirement of a proper ‘Need Analysis’ - ranging from small to medium to large. The next step is to add the core of need analysis with 'specs match'. The manpower is distributed (along with the scope of work) throughout the need analysis process.
- While Sourcing Service: Manpower gets distributed for developing UI (User Interface), UX (User Experience), and conducting research work.
- While Sourcing Products: The workforce is sourced depending on the core of the materials- metal, wood, glass, and plastic because a product is manufactured from these core materials. Along with cores, AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology must be infused into the hardware to deliver the perfect Phygital experience. Hence, this, too, requires a skilled workforce to provide the desired outcome.
The full circle of sourcing amalgamates the ‘longevity factor’ (quality) laced with logistics and deployment. After all, sourcing support depends upon it.
UNFOLDING THE PROCESSES
1. Longevity through determining:
- Life of service and product dependent upon the wearing and shelving over a certain period.
- Quality Analysis through various parameters - specs match, standards of materials used while manufacturing, implementation through proper guidelines, etc.
- Support before and after plays the role of a guardian, who is needed for eternity. It can also be called ‘Maintenance’ which is either conducted through call centers or through emailing after receiving the posted query - a proper support team is aligned for solving the query.
We make a brand possess longevity via customer loyalty through the above core functionality.
2. Innovation to penetrate the future market
In a market with the momentum to swiftly bring a revolution even before people can gasp the event, the supply chain needs to innovate, especially where pulling the correct manpower is concerned. As part of unique solutions to retail sourcing support, churning the production at a broader scale, shuffling things, and customizing the sources to procure innovation are how we enable our clients to precisely know their future markets.
3. Logistics and Deployment
Both logistics and deployment are the branches of the “Supply Chain Management” Tree. The entire Sourcing Support Solutions depends on SCM. So, before deployment, the integration of information flow, material handling, production packaging, inventory, transportation, and warehousing should be done through proper channels to ensure quality and standards.
So based on the industry, such as B2B, B2C, and D2C, the above integrations are performed accordingly. Later the standards are ranked from varied satisfaction parameters for service and product.
