The company struggled with fragmented vendor onboarding, inconsistent documentation, and limited visibility into vendor performance and compliance.
Lack of Real-Time Visibility
There was no centralized system to track vendor performance, certifications, or contract expiries, resulting in operational blind spots.
Procurement Delays
Disorganized vendor records and communication gaps slowed down procurement cycles, affecting timely food supply distribution.
Manual Documentation and Data Entry
Heavy reliance on spreadsheets and paper-based processes increased the risk of errors, data loss, and inefficiencies.
Difficulty in Performance Monitoring
Evaluating vendor reliability, delivery timelines, and quality assurance was cumbersome due to the lack of integrated performance metrics.
