The challenge
Wynhouse Istanbul faced several operational challenges that hindered its efficiency and coordination:
- Lack of Centralized Purchasing Requests
Employees submitted purchasing requests through fragmented systems, making it difficult to track progress and maintain transparency. This lack of centralization created bottlenecks in approval processes and delayed decisions. - Manual Supplier Management
The supplier management process was heavily reliant on manual workflows, making the evaluation and comparison of proposals cumbersome and error-prone. This inefficiency often led to missed opportunities for competitive pricing. - Inefficient Team Coordination
Collaboration across teams was hindered by disparate systems and workflows. This led to miscommunication, reduced productivity, and missed deadlines.
- Unstructured Approval Workflows
Without a structured system for reviewing and approving supplier quotations, delays were common. Decisions often lacked the necessary visibility to ensure alignment with financial and operational goals. - Limited Visibility into Order Processes
Teams struggled to monitor the entire purchasing lifecycle due to a lack of a unified system. This created communication gaps, making it hard to ensure timely updates and efficient follow-ups.
