Dollar Valuation
Overview
SKUPREME is a unified supply chain management platform designed to eliminate inefficiencies in e-commerce logistics. By integrating storage, shipments, purchasing, restocking predictions, supplier communication, and data insights, it streamlines operations and optimizes processes for e-commerce brands at scale.
The Problem
Without SKUPREME, e-commerce brands faced crippling inefficiencies from fragmented inventory systems and manual workflows. The absence of real-time data made it nearly impossible to accurately predict demand or manage inventory. Especially across multiple marketplaces.
Key Issues
Employing
Lean UX
The idea was born from the management of a 7-figure e-commerce brand, addressing the complexities of scale. Aiming to replace existing and inefficient processes one by one, we aimed to establish functional ”Modules” in an agile environment.
This required rapid iteration and consistent user testing. Our designers merged in the multi-disciplinary SKUPREME team serving as design leadership and execution on all user experience fronts.
Think
Every feature starts with a hypothesis. Stakeholders, supply chain experts, customer success, users. Everyone pitches in.
Make
Cross-functional teams develop features collaboratively, ensuring alignment between technical feasibility, supply chain workflows, business needs, and an ideal user experience.
Check
Prototypes are rapidly built and tested with core users and supply chain experts. Insights are then integrated back into the design for iterative improvements.
Key Solutions
Over 3 years, we’ve designed 587 screens and overlays for SKUPREME. While it’s impossible to showcase all of them, we’ve curated a selection of the most impactful ones.
Events
We designed Events to give users an intuitive way to manage key supply chain dates, such as seasonality, holiday closures, and promotional events. Our goal was to build a calendar interface that integrates these dates into prediction formulas, helping manage inventory and plan for demand intuitively.
Key Issues
By not accounting for holidays that affect different supply chain parties.
Due to errors in planning for seasonal dips/peaks and promotional offers when ordering.
