Background

Greenwolf Tech Labs partnered with a leading sourcing, purchasing, procurement, and supplier quality firm offering consulting, on-site technical assistance, and training services.
The client’s manual method of scouting suppliers was highly inefficient and consumed a lot of time and resources.

Challenge

The client’s traditional scouting process involved manually searching for suppliers on Google and using specific rules to filter suppliers for their clients.
The process was highly time-consuming, and the client needed to reduce the overall operation time to be more efficient. Greenwolf was approached to help the client improve their scouting process.

Solution

Greenwolf’s team started the project by having multiple induction calls with the client to understand their business requirements and scouting process in detail.
Using various in-house tools and framework-based analysis, Greenwolf identified areas of improvement in the client’s process.

After identifying the areas of improvement, Greenwolf prepared an extensive research and analysis report and shared it with the client. The report highlighted the inefficiencies in their scouting process and provided recommendations on how to streamline it.

As a solution, Greenwolf helped the client build two automation solutions. The first tool automatically picks keywords and searches on Google and, using custom algorithms, shortlists the suppliers that are the best fit for the client. The second tool helps programmatically identify the company name and the company’s head office using the URL as input.

The automated solutions provided by Greenwolf reduced the overall operation time by 85%. Additionally, the overall cost was reduced by 91%, resulting in significant savings for the client. The automated solutions provided a more streamlined supplier scouting process, allowing the client to focus on other critical areas of their business.
