When I was buying in Spain for multiple Spanish brands, I saw my team struggle daily with frustrating supplier challenges—delayed email responses, incorrect and late samples, missed delivery timelines, and quality issues in bulk shipments. These inefficiencies caused unnecessary stress, disrupted planning, and led to lost opportunities.

Determined to find a solution, I returned to India to research the root causes. I discovered that factories were taking on orders without assessing their actual capacity or coordinating with fabric suppliers and processing houses. This lack of planning resulted in production delays and last-minute chaos.

To solve this, I developed a capacity-mapping dashboard that provided real-time visibility into factory capacity, fabric availability, and processing timelines. This system ensured that new orders were accepted only when all stakeholders had the bandwidth to meet deadlines—allowing for accurate and realistic ETD commitments.

However, fast communication and timely, correct samples were equally critical. I found that email chains were slow and often led to miscommunication. To streamline this, I introduced a structured approval system with direct communication channels, instant updates, and real-time tracking. This eliminated delays in responses, ensuring suppliers stayed aligned with buyers’ needs.

Additionally, sample issues often arose from unclear instructions, rushed execution, or a lack of accountability. I addressed this by implementing a rigorous sample tracking system, ensuring that every request was documented, followed up on, and delivered on time—with the right specifications.
