Spokes in key locations across India ensured faster, more efficient deliveries. A robust regional forecasting model was implemented for accurate demand prediction and timely stock replenishment. Cost management was also prioritized, negotiating warehouse costs for the best rates.

At the customer level, a forecast agreement was established to ensure the weekly demand is met. This approach streamlined the weekly requirements for the export business.
