Challenges
As Nutrabay continued to grow its customer base and expand its product offerings, managing daily workflows efficiently became increasingly challenging. Key challenges included:
1. Limited Order Visibility
- Customers had limited visibility into the status of their orders, leading to frustration and increased customer support inquiries.
- Lack of visibility into order fulfillment stages resulted in increased customer inquiries, leading to additional workload for customer support teams.
- Dissatisfied customers are less likely to make repeat purchases or recommend the brand to others. Poor order visibility and transparency can, therefore, have long-term consequences on customer retention and loyalty.
2. Payment Processing Complexity
- Managing payments through multiple online payment gateways such as Razorpay and Paytm added complexity to the workflow, requiring manual intervention and reconciliation.
- Different payment gateways may offer varying user experiences, leading to inconsistencies in the checkout process. Nutrabay's customers may encounter difficulties or confusion when navigating through different payment options, impacting overall satisfaction.
- Manual handling of payment data increased the risk of errors such as double-charging customers, failing to capture payments, or misreporting transaction statuses. These errors not only affected customer trust but also posed compliance and financial risks for Nutrabay.
