Rapid Implementation

SilkRoute’s retail trading platform had been operating several categories on behalf of this global retailer for nearly two years when a key wholesale book supplier unexpectedly collapsed less than six weeks prior to the critical holiday selling season.  With tens of millions dollars of sales at risk, the retailer turned to SilkRoute for help in constructing a new, internal supply chain for the books category.  Utilizing a proprietary rapid implementation approach, SRG completed a basic implementation of the books category in a matter of days.  As a result, the customer was able to maintain operations and capture significant market share as its competitors struggled to find a solution.
