SHIPMENT MANAGEMENT & BOOKING APPROVALS FOR AN AUSTRALIAN RETAILER

The company is a leading fashion Retailer in Australia with more than 60 outlets and a growing Online store. Their large Buying Teams regularly scour the globe to find the very latest fashion trends fresh from all around the world.

As each buyer maintains control over the purchasing and shipping, managing the approval of their own orders ready to ship from their dynamic vendor base, the process of co-ordination and communication to meet shipment deadlines became quite involved. Multiple orders ship on the same bookings, therefore requiring the approval of multiple stakeholders. 20Cube set about simplifying the process, whilst improving visibility for the customer.
