About Spicebasket;
Spicebasket, the E-commerce website, specializes in offering a wide range of healthy and organic food products to its customers. With a prebuilt e-commerce website, Spicebasket has established a smooth and efficient platform to cater to its target audience. The core business flow of Spicebasket revolves around collecting leads from diverse sources, particularly Facebook, and subsequently converting these leads into product purchases with the assistance of tele callers. They create sales order and invoice in inventory at the same time.

Problems:

1, Spicebasket faced challenges in collecting leads from various sources. Despite having an active presence on social media, they encountered difficulty in identifying and capturing potential leads effectively. A particular issue arose on their Facebook page, where users who liked their posts or comments were potential leads, but the necessary details about these individuals were not automatically collected. As a result, Spicebasket had to resort to manual searches to gather information about these potential customers.

2, Spicebasket integrated their website with Shopify, a popular e-commerce platform, as part of their attempts to optimize sales and client retention. The "abandon cart" feature on Shopify is a valuable feature which enables online retailers to track and retrieve clients who add things to their shopping carts but leave the website without completing the transaction. While the abandon cart function has enormous potential for re-engaging potential clients, Spicebasket encountered challenges in effectively utilizing this feature to obtain leads.

3, Despite obtaining results about the abandon cart leads, Spicebasket encountered additional challenges that hindered their ability to effectively follow up with these potential customers. These challenges revolved around the difficulty of saving detailed lead information, contacting them at a later time, and sending follow-up emails.

4, Spicebasket also encountered difficulties in efficiently sending automated emails to both new and previously followed-up leads based on specific situations and interests. Managing and storing customer details proved to be a complex task, especially given the increasing volume of leads.

5, Creating sales orders and invoices for each individual manually proved to be a time-consuming and cumbersome process for Spicebasket. To handle this challenge, they needed a more streamlined and efficient method to generate and send sales orders and invoices to their customers.

6, Not being able to collect feedback from customers presented a significant challenge for Spicebasket . Feedback is essential for businesses to understand their customers' experiences, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance their products and services.

7, The challenge of creating reports about the number of leads, deals, and other important metrics posed a significant obstacle for Spicebasket . Without accurate and comprehensive reports, it became difficult for the management team to track the performance of their sales and marketing efforts, identify trends, and make decisions to improve overall business operations.

8, The challenge of creating a dashboard to provide a visual representation of all the information was a significant hurdle for Spicebasket . Dashboards are crucial tools for summarizing and presenting complex data in an easily understandable and visually appealing manner. By having a comprehensive dashboard, Spicebasket could have gained valuable insights into various aspects of their business operations, including tele caller performance.
