The Challenges You Face – Solved
Inefficient Order Management
Managing custom orders is no small feat. Between artwork creation, approvals, sourcing products, scheduling production, and meeting tight delivery deadlines, it’s easy for errors to creep in. High order volumes amplify these risks, leading to delays and cost overruns.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Our platform automates workflows, simplifies collaboration with suppliers, and tracks orders end-to-end. Features like automated proof approvals, @mentions for real-time communication, and order tracking dashboards speed up processes and reduce costly mistakes.
Time-Consuming Sales Processes
Sales reps often spend hours crafting proposals, customizing quotes, and chasing customer approvals. This eats into valuable selling time.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Zigaflow’s quotation tool revolutionizes this process. With image management, margin/markup control, and beautifully designed quote templates, you can send attractive, professional documents in minutes. Integrated approval workflows and online payments make it simple for customers to say “yes” quickly.
Price Pressure and Margin Compression
Keeping track of margins and pinpointing where you’re losing money is vital for staying competitive.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Our platform provides complete visibility of forecasted vs. actual costs and highlights post-confirmation changes. You can easily track these figures by salesperson or customer, helping you make informed decisions to protect your margins.
Poor Internal Communications
Miscommunication about customer orders or supplier responses can lead to incorrect products or missed deliveries. It’s difficult to associate messages with specific orders, leading to chaos.
How Zigaflow Helps:
With integrated communication tools, all comments and @mentions are tied directly to quotations, orders, purchase orders, and invoices. Real-time updates keep stakeholders informed, and an automated audit trail ensures accountability.
Managing Artwork
Artwork delays can be a bottleneck in your process. Visibility into the status of artwork and getting timely approvals from clients is often a challenge.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Zigaflow provides dedicated designer workflows, online customer approvals, and built-in reminders for customers with escalations for delays. Sales teams gain clear visibility into artwork status, ensuring everyone stays on track.
Poor Communication with Suppliers
Promotional merchandise businesses rely on multiple suppliers, and without clear processes and automation, communication breaks down. Knowing about delays too late can derail orders.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Our platform ensures seamless supplier communication with automatic requests for confirmations, escalations for delays, and real-time updates on dispatch statuses. You’ll always have a clear view of supplier timelines.
Inventory Management
Balancing inventory is tricky. Too much stock ties up cash, while too little means missed deadlines and unhappy customers.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Our inventory module gives you clear visibility of stock levels, easy reordering tools, and the ability to allocate or reserve stock against customer and supplier orders. This ensures you can meet demand without holding excessive inventory.
Not Asking for Repeat Orders
Amid the daily grind, it’s easy to miss opportunities for repeat business.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Zigaflow’s data Insight tools empower you to reconnect with existing customers. Automate reminders for salespeople or automate direct email. Send bulk outreach campaigns to re-engage clients based on inactivity or set time intervals.
Poor Reporting and Business Insights
Without data, it’s impossible to know why margins are slipping, where delays are occurring, or which salesperson is performing best.
How Zigaflow Helps:
Our advanced reporting features shine a light on your business with insights into margins, costs, sales performance, and more. Automate report sharing with your team so you can make data-driven decisions effortlessly.
