During Christmas and Father’s day, demands were too much to get addressed due to a lack of understanding about stock’s quantity. Hence, timely and correct order delivery was a hard nut to crack.
As a result, the selling experience during the festive season (high sales day) used to end up like a messed-up affair with limited sales. Emma wanted to find the root cause and went on till she sensed some deep trouble with the inability to be updated with the latest stock level.
