Parnells' Email Efficiency Challenge
by Mayur Patel
Parnells is a leading supplier of castors, wheels, and tyres. They specialise in a comprehensive range of castors and wheels, from light-duty furniture applications to heavy-duty items supporting up to 50,000 kg. They supply various market sectors, including food and beverage, point of sale, material handling, hardware, steel fabrication, fishery, and agriculture. They are also a leading seller in Europe.
They also use dropshipping, however, they encountered a recurring challenge when processing dropship purchase orders. While sending purchase orders (POs) to vendors, they also needed to include the delivery slip for the dropship order. Odoo doesn't have a built-in feature to send both the PO and delivery slip in a single email, leading to manual workarounds. This resulted in wasted time as they had to send two separate emails for each order.
Client Requirement
Parnells needed a solution that would allow them to send both the purchase order and delivery slip together in one email to their vendors. The existing method of sending separate emails was time-consuming. The client wanted to simplify this process to enhance efficiency and ensure timely communication.
Numla’s Solution
After a thorough analysis of Parnells' requirements and Odoo’s existing functionalities, Numla proposed a tailored solution. Our approach focused on integrating a new feature that would allow Parnells to automatically include the delivery slip in the same email as the purchase order.
Our team designed and developed a feature within Odoo that enables both the purchase order and delivery slip to be attached to a single email. This ensures that vendors receive all necessary documents in one consolidated message. After implementation, the feature was thoroughly tested to ensure smooth functionality.
Impact
The implementation of this solution is expected to have a significant positive impact on Parnells' operations. Key benefits include:
Improved Efficiency
The new feature is aimed at reducing the time spent on sending both the PO and delivery slip in separate emails.
Enhanced Vendor Relations
With vendors receiving all necessary information in an organised manner, this should lead to quicker order fulfilment and fewer delays in the supply chain.
Parnells continues to benefit from Numla’s tailored solutions, and they have expressed satisfaction with the impact. This case showcases Numla’s ability to understand client pain points and deliver tailored and impactful ERP solutions.
