Spykar — India's premier fashion retail brand, operating at scale.
Spykar is one of India's most recognized fashion and apparel brands, operating a large, distributed network of stores, warehouses, vendors, sales teams and logistics partners. At the center of Spykar's data infrastructure is Infor ERP — but ERP data alone doesn't solve operational execution. That gap is exactly where Vovance was brought in to build.
Complex retail operations demand more than point solutions.
Return orders required manual coordination across salespeople, warehouse teams and logistics partners with no structured ownership.
Dispatch tracking depended on multiple transporters with varying visibility — leaving managers and customers in the dark.
Defect and product feedback from stores was inconsistent and difficult to act on at a regional or category level.
The Infor ERP held the data — but there was no execution layer to translate it into role-appropriate actions.
Vendors and external partners lacked system access, leading to constant email and phone coordination loops.
Spykar needed one unified operational platform sitting above the ERP and mirroring real business processes.
The execution layer in motion.
Explore the role wheel, the X-ray view of the ERP / execution layer, and the auditable RSO lifecycle.
Six capabilities. One unified execution engine.
Intelligent User & Role Architecture
Give every stakeholder exactly the right level of access, control and visibility — without bottlenecks or gaps.
- ›Spykar's full organizational structure mapped into 10 precisely scoped user roles.
- ›Admin, Portal User, Regional & Area Sales Manager, Salesman, Warehouse, Party (Customer), Driver, Store and Vendor.
- ›Admins retain complete authority over users, devices, permissions and module access.
- ›Sales hierarchy roles see only the data and actions relevant to their scope and territory.
- ›Customers (Parties) empowered to track, initiate and confirm actions without chasing sales teams.
- ›Device-level approvals secure distributed retail environments.
- →Clean, scalable governance eliminating access confusion.
- →Accountability without friction — every action has a clear, role-defined owner.
- →Security posture that scales without administrative overhead.
From ERP Data to Real-Time Action
Transform raw Infor dispatch data into a live, role-accessible tracking experience.
- ›Automated import of dispatch orders directly from Infor via API.
- ›Manual delivery date management for transporters without tracking APIs.
- ›Date-lock controls for Blue Dart, FedEx, DTDC and others to preserve data integrity.
- ›Real-time courier tracking integration where carrier APIs are available.
- ›Driver-facing delivery status updates completing the last-mile loop.
- ›Customer access to live dispatch status — eliminating follow-up calls.
- →Dispatch shifted from reactive, call-heavy to a transparent shared layer.
- →Customers gain self-service visibility, reducing inbound support load.
- →Managers gain a live overview across the network.
Return Order Management — Process Governance Encoded in Software
Replace informal, error-prone returns with a structured, auditable, status-driven lifecycle everyone can trust.
- ›Customers initiate a Return Order Quote directly — no email chains, no phone calls.
- ›Salespeople review quantities, adjust and formally approve.
- ›Status updates propagate automatically across all parties.
- ›Customers schedule pickup date and time within the platform.
- ›Salespeople assign a driver — coordination loop closed in-system.
- ›Parties confirm received quantities, officially closing the RSO.
- →Every return action has one clear owner.
- →Every status transition is controlled and logged — a full audit trail per RSO.
- →Sales teams retain oversight without micromanaging.
Scale Without Complexity
Apply the same discipline to Distribution, Exclusive Brand Outlet and Return Shipment orders at volume.
- ›Bulk order imports directly from Infor — no manual entry.
- ›Advanced filtering by date, warehouse, status, party and customer group.
- ›Multi-order RSP creation in a single workflow.
- ›Detailed action logs for every order event.
- ›Controlled rescheduling — Parties can request changes, never override.
- ›Consistent process governance across all order types.
- →Seasonal volume spikes handled without operational degradation.
- →Controlled flexibility for partners maintains process integrity.
- →Reduced manual effort and error rates at volume.
Defect & Product Feedback — Closing the Intelligence Loop
Give stores a structured way to report defects and leadership the analytics to act.
- ›Store users scan product barcodes to log defects — no paper forms.
- ›Defect data categorized by geography, category, defect type and store.
- ›Interactive dashboards with drill-down for Area and Regional Sales Managers.
- ›Operations leadership downloads actionable reports segmented by any filter.
- ›Admins manage feedback channels, dropdowns and access centrally.
- ›Dashboards are live — clicking a chart reveals underlying records.
- →Product quality issues identified faster with cleaner data.
- →Regional and category trends surface automatically.
- →Shift from reactive defect handling to proactive quality intelligence.
Catching Delays Before They Cascade
Give vendors and internal teams visibility into production milestones without exposing internal data.
- ›Bulk or individual production line records managed within the platform.
- ›Automated email alerts 7 days before scheduled milestones.
- ›Vendor-facing visibility scoped appropriately — partners see only what they need.
- ›Milestone tracking provides early warning for downstream dispatches.
- ›Integration-ready design — built to connect with additional data sources at scale.
- →Upstream delays flagged before they become customer-facing problems.
- →Vendor relationships improve through transparent milestone visibility.
