Prozo Control Tower: Ensuring SLA Compliance in a Multi-Channel, Pan-India Supply Chain
In the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape, brands must navigate complex supply chain challenges. From managing multiple demand channels—B2B, B2C (including marketplaces), and D2C—to fulfilling orders across thousands of pin codes with the help of multiple courier partners, operational efficiency is critical. SLA (Service Level Agreement) compliance is at the heart of this ecosystem, driving customer satisfaction, operational scalability, and profitability.
Prozo’s Control Tower is a transformative solution that provides centralized visibility, actionable insights, and automated interventions, ensuring SLA compliance in even the most dynamic environments.
Understanding the Complexity of Multi-Channel Supply Chains
Each demand channel brings unique challenges:
- B2B: Bulk orders with strict schedules, requiring perfect coordination of inventory and dispatch planning.
- B2C (Marketplaces): High volumes with short delivery SLAs and strict compliance requirements for marketplace platforms.
- D2C: Personalized customer experiences, faster delivery expectations, and direct consumer touchpoints.
Operating across multiple warehouses, fulfilling orders across thousands of pin codes, and collaborating with 10x courier partners further amplifies the complexity. In this intricate environment, control, visibility, and automation are essential for operational excellence.
