Streamlining Supply Chain for a Leading E-commerce Client

Project Synopsis

This project involved developing a supply chain management system for an e-commercial website. Through a role-based access control module, the system empowered a super admin to manage users (suppliers, distributors, and retailers).

Retailers could request product listings with quantities from the marketplace, which suppliers could approve or reject. Upon approval, distributors would create dispatches and manage delivery routes to ensure timely product delivery.

Implementing this system led to enhanced coordination, reduced processing time, and improved overall supply chain efficiency for the client’s e-commercial platform.
