Case Study: Leading Asian Chain of Modern Retailer achieves 97% faster vendor & product onboarding and scalable supplier collaboration with Algonomy's Vendor Link

A Leading Asian Chain of Modern Retail Outlets Improves Supplier Collaboration

Leading Asian Chain of Modern Retailer, one of Asia’s largest retail chains with 130+ outlets and 700+ suppliers, faced slow, manual supplier processes that impeded growth: vendor and product onboarding took over 10 days, price and attribute updates required a week, suppliers had limited order‑to‑pay visibility, and invoice dispute resolution was inefficient. To support plans to expand to 200+ stores and 1,000+ suppliers, the customer engaged Algonomy and its Vendor Link supplier collaboration platform to digitize and scale supplier relationships.

Algonomy deployed Vendor Link — a web‑based vendor-retailer collaboration solution with guided onboarding workflows, electronic order‑to‑pay document exchange, 3‑way invoice matching, on‑demand analytics and EDI integrations. The implementation cut vendor and product onboarding lead time by 97% (from ~10 days to ~3 hours), reduced invoice disputes and accelerated supplier payments, gave suppliers complete visibility of the order‑to‑pay cycle, and enabled data monetization through shared category, sales and inventory insights.
