Retail & Distribution
Sample Trak
Nike is one of the world's largest sporting goods seller, and yet it does not have even one manufacturing unit of it's own. It manages it's business operations through online systems that connects it's vendors and other agencies.
Nike is just one example of a retail and distribution company that is dependent on electronic documents and online systems for managing it's business. A large percentage of retail and distribution companies have learnt the advantages of outsourcing all or part of the manufacturing process. And sampling is the first and most important part of every new development or project.
eBiz Global has a very comprehensive platform for managing this vital part of the business.

Case Study
The Customer
A subsidiary of 18 Billion Dollar US Conglomerate, this company has sales offices in all the continents. It's manufacturing unit is in China and has vendors located all over Asia. It's customer list includes many of the world's top apparel and sporting goods brands like Nike, Abercombie, DKNY, GAP, Umbro, Old Navy, Polo, etc.
The Challenge
The customer receives at it's HongKong office, thousands of sample requests from sales staff located all over the world. Each sample is to be made in several colour variants and applied on different types of fabrics and tested for durability, fading resistance, etc. Once sampling is done, pricing is to be done by the developers based on feedback from manufacturers. Taking into account all these transactions, there are atleast 50 emails handled per sample request. This poses a nightmare for the development staff leading to missed deadlines, lost requests, wrong specs and pricing, etc.
