Azure Integration / Migration for B2B tradetrading partners

Background

Our client is a renowned manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of healthcare products. They are registered sellers on ecommerce big boxes like Amazon and ebay where the order inflow was constantly growing every passing day, leading to an increase in the B2B trade with partners.

Challenge

Being a large-scale manufacturer, the client was receiving surplus orders and meeting customer demands in a cost efficient manner was becoming a challenge for them on a daily basis. Their existing business process was not well-adjusted to handle such huge number of orders.

While the demand for their products kept growing, it also led to a sharp increase in the transactions causing the existing EDI solution cost exceed the planned budget.

This and other issues pertaining to accuracy of business transactions with their trading partners/stakeholders were eventually creating wide-range of problems on the business and client / customer side.
