Challenges: High Manual Effort, Limited Visibility & Operational Risk
Plastic Trading Inc manages complex imports, supplier coordination, and inventory planning across multiple clients. As the business grew, tracking follow-ups, sales reports, and inventory became increasingly difficult.
The team relied on calendars and whiteboards for tracking, while supply planning required manual data compilation—consuming nearly 8 hours per day. With 60-hour workweeks and no automated alerts, the risk of missed items and stockouts remained high.
Solution: ConverSight Decision Intelligence Platform
Automated Alerts & Notifications
Smart alerts notify the team — and even multiple clients — about low inventory and critical items, ensuring timely action and eliminating missed follow-ups.
Supplier Planning & Historical Insights
A unified view of historical sales, purchase orders, and inventory data enables better forecasting and informed supplier decisions.
Automated Sales Reporting & Dead Inventory Tracking
AI storyboards automate sales reporting and identify dead or slow-moving inventory, reducing manual effort and improving inventory optimization.
Tariff Visibility & Operational Monitoring
Improved tracking of tariff-related data and operational metrics enables better financial and supply chain decision-making.
