Project Overview
Uncanny’s latest endevaor of helping business took us to the UAE where we helped Elite Horizon, a global supplier of premium outdoor living and lifestyle products. We helped streamline their logistics initiative, optimizing their freight forwarding, warehousing, and customs clearing operations. Our team of experts, led by [Designation] Kalpesh, simplified complicated supply chains to improve cargo visibility and accelerate cross-border logistics. By combining real-time shipment monitoring, temperature-controlled logistics, and digital clearing systems, we assured smooth freight flow, decreased lead times, and provided excellent reliability to organizations across sectors.
Challenges & Problem Statements
1.
No Dashboard
There was no centralized dashboard to efficiently monitor and manage their trade operations, leading to scattered processes, reduced visibility, and delays in addressing critical supply chain issues promptly.
2.
Purchase Order Flow
The absence of an organized purchase order pipeline made it difficult to track, approve, and manage orders, causing operational bottlenecks and hampering the timely flow of goods and services.

No Sales Record
Without an integrated sales order system, managing sales records became time-consuming, and the lack of synchronization between storage, delivery, and packing processes led to frequent order fulfillment delays.
