The Story of Nua’s 120% Order Boost & 99.99% Fulfillment with Unicommerce

• Unified Platform for Effortless Order Management – Nua’s rapid expansion in the e-commerce sector brought along the dual demands of catering to both businesses (B2B) and end consumers (B2C). Therefore, Unicommerce introduced a unified order management platform where Nua could view, manage, and analyze both B2B and B2C orders in real time.
  This centralized system eliminated the need to juggle between different systems, ensuring a smoother operational flow. Our system enabled the brand to manage huge order volumes, especially for B2B deals. Simply put, no matter how large an order, Unicommerce ensured it was processed smoothly to facilitate on-time deliveries and maintain Nua’s strong reputation.
• Efficient SKU Management at Batch Level – Nua’s extensive product catalog, with 211 SKUs, benefited from Unicommerce’s advanced product bundling features. Whether it was creating comprehensive period kits or combining regular SKUs with added freebies, such as their “hygiene care combo,” Unicommerce made bundling a breeze.
  Moreover, Unicommerce addressed the critical issue of expiry management. The system automatically allocates items from SKU batches based on the “first in, first out” principle, reducing the risk of outdated products in the warehouse. Going beyond the basic FIFO, our system also empowers the warehouse team to select batches for processing based on their needs, ensuring flexibility and precision in inventory management.

• Strategic Order Allocation and Seamless Routing – Unicommerce’s approach to strategic order allocation and routing was instrumental in addressing Nua’s complex operational needs. Our system designed these custom allocation rules to ensure that orders were intelligently directed to the nearest facility.
  The system developed 30+ tailored allocation rules, taking into account various factors such as geographic proximity, product type, and more. For instance, when a customer places an order, the system intelligently assesses the destination, the available inventory across facilities, and the product-specific requirements. If a customer ordered acne heat patches, the custom allocation rule would ensure that the order was seamlessly routed to the Hyderabad facility.
  By ensuring that products reached their destinations efficiently and swiftly, Nua not only reduced delivery times but also minimized shipping costs, ultimately contributing to an enhanced customer experience.
• Robust Customized Reporting – Recognizing the role of reporting, Unicommerce provided customized reporting capabilities to the brand, including the integration of Tally reports that facilitated seamless data import into Nua’s ERP system. These reports were thoughtfully configured to showcase specific elements that were important for Nua’s decision-making process.
  Moreover, Unicommerce incorporated real-time courier status updates within the reports, enabling the brand to effectively track lost shipments and promptly address any associated issues. This comprehensive approach to reporting empowered Nua with actionable data, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions.
• Precision-Driven Invoice Template – When customers chose a variety of menstrual pad types, such as heavy, light, or medium flow, all within a single package, it appeared as a single pack to the customers. However, from the brand’s perspective, these were distinct SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) combined within a single order. Generating an invoice for such mixed SKUs was challenging. To resolve this, Unicommerce implemented a customized invoice template solution.
  This specialized invoice template not only listed the products sold but also provided a detailed breakdown of internal packaging materials – CFC (internal packaging material). It also showcased the types of packaging materials used and their respective quantities. This customization enabled Nua’s team to quickly identify and use the appropriate materials during the packing process.
• Seamless Custom Integration with Magento – Unicommerce recognized that Nua’s unique order processing required a specialized solution for integration with their Magento e-commerce platform. Instead of a generic integration, Unicommerce crafted a custom e-commerce integration tailored to Nua’s specific needs.
  The key differentiator in this custom Magento integration was the data flow process. Rather than a typical synchronization where data is periodically exchanged between systems, Nua’s operations required a real-time and seamless flow of data. This customized integration allowed Nua to push orders to Unicommerce through APIs in real-time, ensuring that there was no delay in order processing.
• Custom Field Incorporation for Enhanced Flexibility – To provide Nua with enhanced flexibility, Unicommerce incorporated custom fields into the system. These custom fields served various purposes, adding versatility to Nua’s order processing:
  1. Subscriber Customer Plan Details: For Nua’s subscriber customers who were part of specific plans, Unicommerce created custom fields to capture plan details. This allowed Nua to manage subscriber orders precisely, ensuring that each subscriber received their intended products and services as part of their plan.
  2. Custom Field for Special Requests:Unicommerce added a custom field at the order level to facilitate special requests from customers. This feature enabled customers to communicate specific instructions or requests related to their orders, enhancing their overall experience and allowing Nua to provide personalized service.

Nua witnessed a remarkable transformation in its operations and business outcomes through its collaboration with Unicommerce.

• Nua expanded its sales channels from 4 to 5, now encompassing platforms like Flipkart, Meesho, Pharmeasy, JioMart, and its own D2C website.
• The introduction of 3 new warehouses, from 1 to 4, strategically improved the brand’s logistics capabilities, while the average order-to-ship time was reduced to 24 hours, ensuring swift order processing and timely deliveries.
• This reduction in dispatch time also led to a substantial decrease in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) from 8.92% to an impressive 4.28%, further enhancing the brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

Nua’s partnership with Unicommerce has not only enabled them to overcome significant operational challenges but has also positioned them for continued growth in the menstrual care industry.
