Launched in 2017, vente-privée Impulse, vente-privée's accelerator program, aims to support the best startups that develop solutions and services to enhance the online buying experience in the retail sector, as well as technical innovations and services that aim to digitalize and transform the shopping experience.
As part of this program, vente-privée is starting a pilot testing phase with Winddle, a collaborative solution for supply chain management. The goal for vente-privée is to simplify the tracking of supplier deliveries to its preparation warehouses in order to contribute to reducing lead times and ensure optimal customer service.
The pilot will cover a limited scope of the activity to validate the usage scenario and the value provided to vente-privée's procurement teams, before a potential deployment on a larger scale.
Winddle will allow vente-privée's procurement teams to simplify their communication with partner brands regarding order tracking and deliveries to vente-privée's warehouses, before shipping the packages to end customers.
Integrated into vente-privée's IT systems, Winddle ensures centralized and shared information between the company's supply teams and external suppliers. The tested solution automates the tracking tasks currently performed manually, with reminders and other alerts directly managed on Winddle, increasing proactivity and agility. In this way, vente-privée plans to increase its productivity in managing its supply chain and have real-time visibility into its supply chain, which is essential to the company's performance.
