From hours of manual portal searches to an answer in seconds.
One person had to search multiple supplier portals for one or more original part numbers. The application now performs those searches in parallel and returns the available answers in seconds.
The friction
The task was simple. Repeating it across portals was not.
A user received one or more original part numbers and then opened several supplier portals, repeated the same search in each one and compared the answers manually. The work consumed hours and had to be repeated every time a new request arrived.
What changed
Search once. Query multiple suppliers at the same time.
We built an application where the user enters one or more original part numbers once. The application performs the searches across the relevant supplier portals in parallel and consolidates the answers into a single view.
Result
Hours of work reduced to seconds.
The person performing the search no longer has to move portal by portal. For one or more original part numbers, the application returns the available supplier answers in seconds.
The important change was not “more automation”. It was removing repetitive navigation and comparison from a task that already had a clear input and outcome.
Does someone in your team repeat the same search across several systems?
That is often a strong candidate for consolidation or automation.
