What Is This Case Study About?
This case study highlights how PUMA India transformed its supply chain by replacing fragmented systems with a unified warehouse WMS platform. By integrating inventory, order management, and channel operations into a single system, PUMA improved efficiency, inventory accuracy, and sales performance across channels.
Client Overview
- Brand: PUMA India

Challenges Faced: Why Fragmented Systems Were Hurting Performance
PUMA’s supply chain complexity created major inefficiencies:
- Multiple Disconnected Systems: PUMA was operating ERP, OMS, and WMS as separate systems within a single warehouse, leading to inefficiencies and lack of coordination.
- Fragmented Inventory Across Channels: Inventory was split across marketplaces and the brand’s own website, reducing order fill rates and overall sales potential.
- Poor Inventory Accuracy: The existing system struggled with bin-level accuracy, making it difficult to maintain reliable stock visibility and fulfillment precision.
- Lack of a Unified Technology Platform: The absence of a single integrated system limited scalability and prevented seamless inventory and order synchronization.
