Challenges: Manual Follow-Ups, Limited Visibility, and Inefficient Scaling
Mahindra, a global automotive leader with $16 billion in annual revenue, faced challenges managing thousands of suppliers across the region. Relying on manual follow-ups via calls and emails resulted in delayed risk identification, limited visibility, and scaling difficulties. To solve this, Mahindra sought an advanced solution for automated communication, proactive risk detection, and enhanced scalability.
