About Yoga Bar – Nutrition-Led Food Company

To make people eat, love, repeat, and practice yum-asana every day, is Yoga Bar’s mission. It’s a nutrition-led food company, founded by Suhasini Sampath and Anindita Sampath in the year 2014. As one of the leading brands, it stood out and countered the retailer attitude in India which was limited to selling only what’s tasty and not what’s healthy.

With the core strength of understanding their customers and the mantra of providing 80% better quality in this niche of food products, Yoga Bar received a positive response and a significant amount of repeated customer base. It is the brand that represents the modern needs of contemporary Indian consumers perfectly. Now that it is expanding towards children and infant food. Yoga Bar are one of a kind.

However, as an FMCG brand, they needed a unique solution to overcome the expiry management and streamline inventory effortlessly. Hence, they decided to onboard Unicommerce as their technology provider and ensure smooth and efficient operations.

Challenges Faced by Yoga Bar

  • Need for an Integrated Ecosystem – The brand aimed to expand its market presence by increasing availability in every small marketplace, seeking to ensure comprehensive visibility across all platforms. To achieve this, they needed adaptable and scalable APIs rather than direct marketplace integration as it calls for a significant amount of long processes and efforts. The requirement also has to keep high standards of service and precise quality and quantity of fetching the order details.
  • Discrepancy with Lost in Transit Inventory – The amount of damaged inventory during transit was one of the major issues faced by the brand. The discrepancy was inevitable but catering to that was one of the tasks! Yoga Bar’ inventory flow begins at the manufacturing unit, then moves to the mother warehouse, and finally gets distributed to the other two child warehouses. During these transitions, frequent episodes of flawed inventory occurred, and there was no way to account for it in the documentation. This led to an increase in the damaged goods with no way to reconcile them in the records.
    For instance, If 100 packets were sent to the warehouse from the mother warehouse and 20 were damaged during the transit. There was no way to report this discrepancy. According to the gate pass, the warehouse had to receive the 100 packets despite the actual loss. This was affecting the inventory count and business both regularly and significantly.
  • Need for an Expiry Management System – Like any other FMCG brand, expiry management is one of the most crucial parts of the operations. Including those dealing with healthy food items with a very limited life span. Ingredients used in the healthy snack items have limited shelf life. Managing the timeline from manufacturing to the warehouse and ultimately to the customers is one of the important tasks to avoid selling expired products and affecting the brand image with the customers.
    Yoga Bar is one of the brands that sell on different marketplaces and have more than a single warehouse. They required a consolidated flow of operations where it would be easier for them to manage all the data related to the inventory, order processing, and all the operations. They sought a platform that could give them central visibility, and streamlined inventory management with a comprehensive view of operations to function seamlessly.

Solutions offered by Unicommerce

We at Unicommerce not only cater to the challenges that are being faced by the brand but also how their process can be made better and how a solution can be altered to meet the precise needs and betterment of the client. Let’s explore how Yoga Bar raised its bar higher with the tailored solutions of Unicommerce:

  • Robust Integrations: – Yoga Bar wanted to amplify their presence on small marketplaces. They were able to achieve this by using our robust e-commerce API Integrations. Not only were they able to capture the precise order details but also adjusted their inventory in real time. As a result, they experienced remarkable sales order growth rates in recent months with the utmost efficiency. This, as a practice, has successfully solidified their position in the competitive market.
  • Short Closing at Gate Pass: – Yoga Bar was facing a regular discrepancy due to the damage of the inventory from the parent warehouse to the child warehouse. According to the documentation, there were no means of keeping the record for these incidents which led to mentioning it as pending.
    The damaged inventory was only recorded under the accepted number of the products which hiked the amount of discrepancies in the inventory and became a regular problem. Therefore, the reconciliation in records was provided. This was done by providing an option to mark that inventory under ‘lost in transit’. It reduced these regular instances, as it was reviewed monthly, keeping track and decreasing the records of regular inventory damages.

  • Expiry Management Through Tolerance: – The most crucial part of FMCG brands like Yoga Bar is countered by setting a tolerance level. For instance, if the shelf life is set to 120 days, then the tolerance would be set to 100 days so that it would not be processed further for sale. Additionally, this was done at the SKU levels.
    Secondly, customization to the reports was provided by adding a column to the shelf life reports that mentioned the manufacturing details which helped with better inventory management by the shelf lives of the products.
  • Customization in the Documentation: – Unicommerce provided several customizations in the documents according to Yoga Bar’ needs:

    – To enhance operational efficiency, Yoga Bar wanted to assist their pickers by image-assisted sorting in the item master aiding them both in multi-picking and precise product selection.

    – Other than that, for their gate passes, they wanted to specify the EAN number to mention the SKUs for smoother operational flow.

    – Additionally, for the practice of cycle count which is done on the item level, Yoga Bar wanted to practice that on the SKU level. This customization was done for them which helped in making the cycle counts more efficient and reduced the probability of human error.

“Unicommerce has brought smart solutions that directly cater to Yoga Bar’s requirements. Their high-powered warehouse management and inventory management solutions have allowed us to streamline our warehouse operations. We are highly satisfied with the positive impact that Unicommerce has brought to our brand. We were able to raise the bar higher at Yoga Bar!”
Suhasini Sampath

Even with the catalog growth of 160% , Yoga Bar can maintain a smooth workflow along with effective optimization of the inventory.
  • Yoga Bar has achieved an excellent order fulfillment rate of 99.99%+ which indicates the regular meeting of the customer’s expectations which also made it possible to deal in four additional sales channels than before.

About OZiva – Clean, Plant based Nutrition & Beauty Products

Launched in 2016, OZiva, a D2C nutraceutical brand, is on a mission to promote healthier living among Indians. Specializing in plant-based and clean-label products, their core focus areas include Lifestyle Protein, Hair and Beauty Supplements, and Women’s Health.

OZiva’s commitment to clean nutrition is evident in its product offerings. These products are 100% clean and free from harmful chemicals or ingredients. They support stamina, recovery, lean muscle development, and overall fitness.

As OZiva continued to expand its product offerings and reach, the brand recognized the need for a robust technology partner to manage its growing operations efficiently. That’s when they forged a valuable partnership with Unicommerce.

Challenges Faced By the OZiva

  • Order Labeling for Seamless Deliveries – In the pursuit of optimizing its delivery process, OZiva recognized the need for an improved order labeling system specifically tailored for Same Day Delivery (SDD) and Next Day Delivery (NDD). The aim was to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of these time-sensitive deliveries.
    Driven by the brand’s unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, this requirement emphasized the importance of refining the labeling process to meet the heightened expectations associated with swift deliveries.
  • Need for Different Traceability Requirements – OZiva needed an inventory management system that could accommodate diverse traceability needs across multiple facilities. Given the varied nature of their product range, the brand had to implement traceability measures at different levels. For certain products, item-level traceability was imperative, requiring tracking of individual items.
    Others necessitated SKU traceability with batching considerations. Strikingly, there were products where no traceability was required at all. Handling these distinct traceability requirements highlighted the importance of managing diverse inventory types within the brand’s warehousing network.
  • Managing Extensive SKU Inventory – Within OZiva’s product portfolio encompasses a diverse range of SKUs, the intricacy of organizing, optimizing, and ensuring the accessibility of products became a significant undertaking. There was a need to maintain a balance between shelf organization and SKU management, striving to ensure that the vast array of products was readily available, easily navigable, and strategically positioned for operational efficiency.
  • Order Allocation with a Blend of Inventory Availability and Proximity – The brand sought a system that seamlessly allocated orders to facilities upon placement, using a dynamic approach based on two crucial parameters. The first parameter involved determining the nearest facility, while the second focused on the availability of inventory. The objective was to create a fluid mechanism where, upon order placement, the system intelligently directed it to the nearest facility with accessible inventory.
    In cases where the nearest facility lacked the required inventory, the system seamlessly rerouted the order to the next nearest facility with available inventory. This approach aimed to enhance order fulfillment efficiency by combining geographic proximity and real-time inventory status for optimal order routing.
  • Demand for Tailored Reporting Solutions – To facilitate informed decision-making, the brand recognized the need for robust reporting capabilities. The necessity arose from the need to seamlessly view data from all facilities from a single report. Specifically, the brand required detailed insights into its inward inventory, encompassing all relevant details.
    Furthermore, to streamline communication, there was a distinct requirement for a system that could effortlessly dispatch daily reports to designated individuals. This emphasis on customized reporting underscored the brand’s commitment to acquiring precise and timely information to drive strategic decision-making.

Solutions Offered to Oziva

  • Efficient Order Labeling for Time-Sensitive Deliveries: – In response to OZiva’s need for a more streamlined order labeling system for Same Day Delivery (SDD) and Next Day Delivery (NDD), Unicommerce introduced a tailored solution. A custom field in the order processing system was implemented to clearly identify SDD and NDD orders from the point of creation. This implementation significantly expedited the order fulfillment process, ensuring that time-sensitive deliveries receive the attention they deserve.
  • Adaptive Traceability Solutions Across Warehousing Network: – Unicommerce implemented a range of traceability solutions tailored to OZiva’s diverse product inventory. This adaptive approach is evident in the unique needs of different categories within OZiva’s six facilities. Four facilities prioritize item-level traceability, ensuring tracking of individual products, especially vital for items requiring detailed monitoring.
    Moreover, one facility focuses on SKU-level traceability with batching considerations, providing a comprehensive oversight of products at the SKU level. During the inwarding of inventory and GRN stages, the batch attribute captures expiry details, emphasizing precision in monitoring and aligning with OZiva’s quality control standards.
    Also, one facility is marked at “none traceability,” where no specific traceability requirements are mandated. This flexible strategy ensures efficiency and compliance, reflecting Unicommerce’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of OZiva’s warehousing network.
  • Efficient Shelf Organization for Seamless Warehouse Operations: – To address the complexities of organizing and optimizing OZiva’s extensive SKU inventory, Unicommerce introduced the shelf management feature. The system accommodates the diverse range of OZiva’s products, ensuring that each item is readily accessible and strategically positioned for operational efficiency.
    This comprehensive shelf management solution not only considers the physical placement of products but also integrates with the order allocation system, contributing to a seamless and timely fulfillment experience.
  • Optimized Order Allocation Through Customized Script: – Unicommerce enhanced order allocation for OZiva through the creation of the “OZiva Facility Allocation Script.” This script optimizes order routing by considering proximity and real-time inventory availability.
    Ultimately, this approach centers around ensuring customer satisfaction. By optimizing order allocation, Unicommerce’s customized script contributes to a seamless and timely fulfillment experience, aligning with OZiva’s commitment to delivering quality service to its customers.
“Unicommerce has been instrumental in OZiva’s success story. Their dedication and innovative technology have been crucial in navigating our expanding business landscape. Thank you, Unicommerce, for being an invaluable partner in our journey to redefine the nutraceutical industry.”

How Honasa Consumer, the parent company of Mamaearth, attained a 99.99%+ Order Fulfillment rate for its D2C operations using Unicommerce

mamaearth case study
about mamaearth skin care products

Company Overview – Mamaearth

Founded by Varun Alagh, Honasa Consumer, the parent company of personal care brands, Mamaearth, The Derma Co, and Aqualogica, was started with a mission to offer a line of 100% toxin-free products for mothers and infants. As the name suggests, the brand strives to provide natural products with magic and a blend of natural ingredients.

Since Mamaearth is quite popular among the parents in India, there has been a surge in the demand for their products, especially after the pandemic. As the brand observed the rapid hike in the demand, the solution that they were using started to break and resulted in data inconsistencies and operational hassles, which made them search for a platform where they can manage order and inventory across channels and segregate orders as per the regional locations.

Challenges : Process, Operations & Management

  1. Unsynchronized inventory operations, and issues in data sanctity & reporting
  2. Facing difficulties in managing orders in bulk
  3. Difficulty in handling the order returns
  4. Unable to create B2B e-invoices as per Govt. regulations
  5. Witnessing problems in enabling dynamic QR code on B2C invoices
  6. Having trouble in segregating multiple orders city-wise
  7. Inconvenience in capturing errors while generating AWB number
  8. Required a robust ERP integration with SAP to streamline overall business operations

Collaboration with Unicommerce

1. Centralized System:
Complete automation: One of the most crucial aspects of Unicommerce’s association with Mamaearth was that it centralized the value chain operations and enabled synchronized & automated processes across multiple brands, including Mamaearth, The Derma Co, and Aqualogica.

2. B2B Enhancements
Discount grouping: Striving to have personalized prices/discounts for different channels/customers, Mamaearth wanted to create discount groups. Unicommerce introduced a feature — discount grouping — through which the same SKUs can be sold to various customers at multiple price ranges.

Bulk orders: Mamaearth didn’t want to enable the automatic inventory allocation option for bulk orders. Unicommerce provided a feature (for B2B orders) through which the brand was able to create orders in bulk by default and prioritize their order fulfillment needs. The brand named/marked the channel as BULK. While fulfilling bulk orders became easier, Mamaearth processed up to as high as 10,000 items in an order.

3. Enhanced compliance with government regulations
E-invoicing & E-way bill: Mamaearth was able to follow the E-invoicing compliance by the Indian Govt. through Unicommerce’s unified panel as it enabled them to process B2B transactions via the NIC portal. Furthermore, Unicommerce also enabled Mamaearth to generate the E-way bill seamlessly, letting them deliver goods with utmost ease.

B2C invoices: As per the compliance by the Indian Govt., Unicommerce provided the QR code for B2C invoices. With this feature, Mamaearth was able to let the customer scan the QR code and make online payments in case of COD orders.

4. Returns Management
Minimized returns: Being the most cumbersome task, it was difficult for Mamaearth to manage their order returns. But with Unicommerce’s returns management feature, they enabled 100% visibility of stock movement, and a faster inventory turnaround while attaining a drop in returns by 300%.

Significant reduction in customer-initiated Returns: Moreover, Unicommerce’s robust quality check process minimized any sort of customer-initiated returns.

5. Order Processing & Logistics Management
Filter feature: As Mamaearth observed a rapid hike in their sales from both tier-1 & tier-2 cities, it became difficult for them to bifurcate the orders. With Unicommerce’s filter option to filter cities, the brand was able to segregate the orders based on the regions. This enabled the brand to plan its inventory across 9 warehouses while ensuring next-day deliveries in tier-1 cities and >=3 days for tier-2 & tier-3 cities.

Error log feature: Mamaearth used to face certain errors while generating AWB numbers with respect to third-party API integration. With Unicommerce’s Error Log Feature, they are able to detect the errors and download the data for reference that mentions where the problem occurred, letting them solve it easily.

6. Robust ERP Integration with SAP
As the brand has a wide reach in both online and offline markets, there was a dire need to manage regular business operations; the brand needed a full-fledged comprehensive tech stack and a centralized system to manage the same. Unicommerce helped Mamaearth in getting a seamless integration with SAP to help the brand to streamline its overall operations.

Impact on the Business – Then and Now, How the things changed

After their association with Unicommerce, Mamaearth observed incredible results and a drop in returns by 300%. The automation in the e-commerce operations empowers them to sell their products over 6 platforms including, Amazon Flex, Flipkart smart, Magento 2, Tata CliQ, Myntra PPMP, and Unicommerce’s custom channel for B2B order management.

Coming over to the Warehouse management system of Unicommerce, Mamaearth has experienced exponential growth and was able to expand its portfolio while managing 9 warehouses across locations. Furthermore, the centralization of warehouse, inventory, and order operations resulted in an order growth of 144% in the short span of 8 months.

The simple yet robust tech infrastructure of Unicommerce allowed them to handle a live inventory count of 8.7M+ all while increasing their fulfillment rate to 99.99%+, which has assisted the brand to employ result-driven performance. The real-time inventory management and comprehensive automation ensured that the brand was easily able to scale up to achieve 3M+ dispatches/month.

unicommerce strengthened gnc india’s business operations

Company Overview

GNC, also short for Guardian, is a leading specialty retailer for health and wellness products. Having its headquarters in Pittsburgh US, the health products retailer operates on a network of approximately 9,000 locations worldwide. From  Protein and Performance Supplements to Weight Management Supplements, to beauty & skincare products, GNC has a plethora of options to offer. 

Having a belief in spreading health across the world, GNC has a significant global presence and continues to expand in India with the current footprint including a warehouse and over 45 stores across the country. The company has a diversified, multi-channel business model and intends to sell its products and services in India through its physical stores as well as an online medium. It would also include franchise activities, third-party contract manufacturing, e-commerce, and corporate partnerships.

With the growing customer base, the brand started getting bulk orders from marketplaces. This is when they realized they wanted to associate with Unicommerce. Unicommerce helped GNC scale its profits while helping them introduce its product portfolio to wider audiences.

Challenges : Process, Operations & Management

Being a successful global player, the company intends to scale its online operations significantly. With their presence in the online arena of Indian markets, they started working on a multi-channel business model which drives them to align their warehouse operations at a unified platform. Not only did it become hard for them to process orders quickly, but they also wanted to integrate multiple sales channels to align operations. Since it is a globally present company and sees a multi-fold growth each year, their team had specifically forecasted some of the challenges they expected to face in the Indian markets

  • Lack of efficient source to process orders effectively
  •  Unable to integrate with 3rd Party Logistics Providers
  •  Unstable product inventory flow across multiple sales channels
  • Inability to maintain stock freshness in supply chain
  • Inaccurate reports and dashboards

Implementation Details

Collaboration with Unicommerce

After implementing the Unicommerce Warehouse Management solution, they no longer had to rely on manual processes resulting in increased productivity in terms of orders picked per person. Since their operations were completely automated and centralized, they managed to maintain stock accuracy and visibility.
