*We built dashboard interfaces tailored to different supply chain actors - transport providers, drivers, logistics manager, and production manager. I focused on the specific stakeholder*
Work on integrating the billing POS system and exploring compatibility with Foresyght software.
Enhance the fridge product to work with ice cream fridges, addressing issues with doors being left open.
How might we?
...design an effective logistics system that delivers precise sales forecast for manufacturers, distributors, and local supermarkets in Mumbai to reduce food wastage of perishable food leading to increased profits and strengthen professional network to optimize sales, stocking and delivery expectations?

There is no standardized system for connecting distributors with manufacturers and local supermarkets. Despite existing software solutions, many distributors prefer manual processes due to limited technological familiarity, relying on phone and WhatsApp. This makes tracking sales, deliveries, and inventory difficult, leading to missed sales and product availability issues.

PIVOTS
Vikas
Vikas, an AI powered assistant was discarded since the AI generated suggestions seemed more like a push rather than a nudge which made the stakeholders felt like they were being dictated by a machine in their own field of experience
Smart Packaging
Smart packaging infused with NFC tags would have been an additional cost for the manufacturer without offering any additional advantages at the manufacturer level.
Smart Displays
Smart displays would not have been a cost effective option for the stakeholders.
