By fostering seamless coordination and interdependency between Supply Chain Management (SCM), Service Support, Sales & Marketing, and R&D, “we ensure that operational processes are streamlined, customer needs are met efficiently, and innovative products are developed to drive growth and success in the market. This collaborative approach ultimately helps in delivering value to customers and achieving sustainable business results”, says Vanchinathan S – Head Sales (SAARC), Rossari Professional.
Before delving into our systematic approach at Rossari Professional, it is crucial to understand the concept of total cost of ownership. This encompasses all expenses involved in the lifecycle of the products, including development, operation, and maintenance costs. Additionally, a consultative approach which involves engaging with clients helps understand their unique needs and conduct a customer need analysis to accurately identify and meet their demands.
Interconnected Support Functions
Behind the seamless operation of the diverse range of product categories lie interconnected support functions that are essential for driving innovation, quality control, regulatory compliance, and customer support. The research and development teams collaborate across categories to develop cutting-edge solutions, while the quality assurance and regulatory teams ensure product compliance and safety. Customer support functions provide timely assistance and guidance, fostering strong relationships with clients.
The success of Rossari Professional’s brand categories hinges on their collaborative efforts and interdependence. By working in tandem, these categories create a cohesive ecosystem that delivers value to customers, drives innovation, and upholds the company’s commitment to excellence. The interconnected support functions play a crucial role in sustaining this ecosystem, ensuring operational efficiency, product quality, and customer satisfaction.
Seamless coordination between SCM & service support, sales & marketing, and R&D is crucial for ensuring operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and innovation within the system. Here is how these departments work together:
Research & Development (R&D):
• R&D collaborates with SCM to source innovative raw materials and ingredients for product development, ensuring that new products meet quality standards and regulatory requirements.
• SCM supports R&D by providing insights into supply chain constraints and lead times, enabling R&D to develop products that are feasible for production and distribution.
• R&D works closely with sales & marketing to understand customer needs and market trends, developing products that align with customer preferences and industry demands.
• The synergy between R&D, SCM, and sales & marketing results in the successful launch of new products, improved product quality, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
Sales & Marketing:
• Sales & marketing teams work closely with SCM to understand market demand and customer preferences, providing valuable insights for inventory planning and production scheduling.
• SCM relies on sales & marketing forecasts to optimize inventory levels, reduce stockouts, and prevent overstock situations, ensuring efficient supply chain operations.
• In turn, sales & marketing teams leverage SCM’s capabilities to fulfil customer orders promptly and accurately, meeting sales targets and revenue goals.
• The collaboration between sales & marketing and SCM leads to improved demand forecasting, optimized inventory management, and increased sales revenue.
SCM & Service Support:
• SCM ensures the timely procurement and delivery of raw materials and finished products, supporting service support in meeting customer demands promptly.
• Service support relies on SCM for inventory management and logistics, ensuring that customer orders are fulfilled efficiently and accurately.
