The vendor was selected by the e-commerce retailer for seamless supply chain command across its many departments.

05/05/2021: With the ever-growing grocery supply-demand, it’s essential for grocery businesses to digitalize their efforts to keep shelves stocked and customers satisfied. The Suez Canal Crisis is said to have trickling effects for months on end, with grocery supply chains bearing the brunt of the shipping delays.

In hopes of streamlining the supply and demand process and keeping delays at an all-time low, Thrive Market has partnered with Simplain’s Vendor portal SaaS platform to modernize their supply chain database. Through the vendor portal, Thrive Market can swiftly integrate their pre-existing systems with Simplain’s to keep the database updated and avoid any miscommunication with vendors. The software system keeps an eye on key database management, and with the help of their GOLD integration services, the data is shared across multiple departments. Information is updated throughout the system to ensure supplies run smoothly.

The final choice of collaborating with Simplain was reached after carefully evaluating over 19 different solutions presented by leading companies. Through Simplain’s vendor portal, Thrive Market could save up on time and money by having one software manage Item, Vendor, Cost, and Rebates information efficiently with no room for human error. The vendor portal also goes through nutrient, allergen, and image data for individual items. With such streamlined data evaluation, the vendor and retailer don’t have to worry about product recalls or supply shortages.

When asked about the opportunity to collaborate with leading e-tailor Thrive Market, director of enterprise resource planning at Simplain, Tim Pielach, said,

“We’re honored and excited to be working closely with Thrive Market and providing them the resources needed to streamline their everyday processes with ease. We're partnering with such an outstanding grocery retailer, whose goals of customer satisfaction and high operational value ties very closely with our vision at Simplain. With the Simplain Vendor Portal, we’ll enhance Thrive Market’s overall efficiency and also strengthen the ties between them and their respective vendors.

Having our efficient system look over everyday activities frees up space for the company to innovate in the e-tailor space further. We are confident that our system will not only provide more space for innovation but also help them reach their goals of automating processes and reduce expiration-driven stock shrinkage alongside improving their in-stock rates. Not only does Simplain focus on ease of use for the company itself, but we also work on creating an exceptional shopping experience for the everyday shopper.”
