The Challenge
Furdeco needed a more structured and dependable way to manage its home-delivery operations, where each order involved several teams, tasks and communication points. Coordinating routes, customers, drivers and retailers while handling exceptions, debriefs and invoicing created additional operational pressure. The challenge was to establish clear ownership across the delivery journey, improve coordination and maintain consistent service as volumes increased.
- Complex Operations Managing multiple processes across every delivery.
- Route & Driver Coordination Keeping routes, schedules and drivers aligned.
- Customer & Retailer Communication Ensuring timely updates and coordination.
- Exception Handling Resolving delivery issues quickly and efficiently.
- End-to-End Ownership Creating clear responsibility across the delivery journey.
- Scalability Handling growing volumes without increasing operational pressure.
As the business grew, we needed operations that could grow with us. AI-enabled workflows helped us reduce manual pressure, improve coordination across teams, and build a stronger foundation for scaling.
The Solution
ZOUMA established a dedicated India-based operation that worked directly within Furdeco's existing workflows, creating clear ownership across key delivery functions and extending operational coverage.
- Dedicated Team 56 specialists across key functions.
- Clear Ownership Defined roles for smoother coordination.
- MDA Support Centralised core operational activities.
- Extended Coverage Supported UK delivery hours.
- Quality Control Regular audits and escalation processes.
- Fast Readiness Teams become operational within 30 days.
The Outcome
A managed offshore operation supporting planning, customer contact, exception handling, pricing and billing – at scale.
