The Struggle of Bridging the Gap between Expectations and Reality
NRG Instruments has framed quite a massive plan for its growth, but the difficult part is to realize the vision. Their aim of global expansion itself has several challenges. Also, with global expansion comes the responsibility of timely fulfillment and express service, which in itself was a huge roadblock for NRG Instruments. Apart from this, they faced issues with day-to-day operations like order processing, data synchronisation, inventory management etc. All these issues came together to dawn upon the otherwise growing business of NRG Instruments. Here is a detailed discussion of all the problems faced by the business:
Inventory Mismanagement: Keeping track of stock was the biggest challenge for NRG Instruments since their products were stored in different locations. Also, keeping it safe was necessary for them as their products dealt with energy.
Delivery Issues: Delivery of goods in different parts of the nation or in markets around the nation was a matter of concern for the longest time since they did not have an effective fulfillment partner or software to manage it.
Failure in Order Fulfillment Process: The order fulfillment process of NRG faced major setbacks due to manual errors and consistent delays. Apart from this, they also struggled with day-to-day data transfers, widening the loopholes in the business.
Scalability Compromised: As NRG Instruments faced troubles with its business operations and fulfillment, expansion became a far-off thought. Most of their time was consumed in fixing their existing issues.
