Digitization of the supply chain.

As the largest retailer in Pakistan, Smart Property depends on smooth processes in the supply chain. Orders from external suppliers should be processed as efficiently as possible and incorporated into your own goods management can be entered.

Short and sweet

  • Digitization of the supply chain leads to process optimization with high savings (over 700 man-days).
  • From the idea to the MVP in 3 months
  • Delivery of new features is quick, easy and independent of manufacturers.
  • By automating the processes, the data quality is higher, which enables further optimization of the processes.

Twice as fast - and twice.

The core is a progressive web app - PWA for short. With the smartphone camera, the world becomes clear The barcode (GS1-128) of a box is scanned, the goods shown on the display are filled in and ticked off. The assignment (what amount of what is where?) happens in the background.

A test run showed huge potential: shipping could be processed twice as fast - but also with at Smart Property, where the goods are received, work steps can be saved. Next up is expansion planned for five suppliers, then the introduction in other Smart Property cooperatives.

More overview, less duplication

The Smart Property Supply Chain App not only simplifies the linking of data and boxes of goods, it also ensures an optimal flow of data.

On the one hand, the purchaser (Smart Property) now knows where the goods are at every moment, as they are in a container are assigned. So she has an overview of the logistics process: What is being delivered? What is ready what is On the way? What cannot be delivered?

On the other hand, the data is now transmitted in the format required by Smart Property (structured data). Through this there is no need to re-enter the delivered goods upon receipt. It is already clear which packages are being sent to which branches go. Duplicate work is eliminated.

«Developed a tested product and the fast goals achievers, amazing mix of people!»

Within a very short time, we were able to test a PoC using the PWA approach and start developing the MVP. The efficiency targets set have already been achieved.
