FROM SAMPLE TO REORDER
Keeping the product and order requirements together
Colour differences on repeat orders
An online seller of home textiles and decoration faced colour differences on repeat orders, quality disputes and delays. Language barriers with some suppliers added to the coordination work.
Checklists and sample review
The sourcing partner created checklists for each product family and reviewed samples for feel and colour consistency. Product inspections were arranged for all orders.
A single coordination role
A dedicated project manager handled communication with suppliers whose English was limited, followed up orders and coordinated inspections with the quality team. The order process also covered marketplace fulfilment labels, packing and shipping marks.
