&nbsp;Godrej Interio is India’s largest furniture company. It operates in both the B2B and B2C markets. In the B2B segment, it serves a wide range of institutional customers, including offices, healthcare, laboratories, educational institutions, and others. The company offered 12,000+ SKUs manufactured across four plants, with varying lead times and a mix of standard and customised products. &nbsp;&nbsp;On-time delivery of furniture was critical for customers, as the commencement of their operations depended on the furniture being in place. &nbsp;&nbsp;Delivery dates were quoted based on standard lead times rather than the actual load on the plant, which often resulted in delayed deliveries from the customers’ perspective and frequent firefighting. This impacted customers’ project timelines, customer satisfaction, and repeat business. &nbsp;&nbsp;The sales team often complained that they had little time to focus on actually do sales, etc. As a result, market coverage was getting impacted, which resulted in lost sales in the range of 10%-15%. &nbsp;&nbsp;Godrej worked with Vector Consulting Group to revamp its operations and improve efficiencies in its supply chain and operations to address these challenges. Together, they implemented Complete Order Execution (COE), which ensured that all SKUs in a single order were delivered together, based on a delivery date committed based on the plant load and manufacturing lead times. &nbsp;&nbsp;This resulted in higher on-time closure of orders, improved customer satisfaction, and an increased number of repeat orders.This shift delivered quantum improvement in Godrej Interio’s business results. &nbsp;

Godrej Interio’s B2B operational revamp: implementing Complete Order Execution (COE) increased OTIF delivery from 40% to 85%+, unlocked 30% sales team bandwidth, and delivered 46% revenue growth.
