The Challenge
Prior to collaborating with Azumo, Facebook encountered several challenges in supplier management at conferences:
- Overwhelming Attendees: Facebook's conferences attracted a large number of attendees, making it challenging to efficiently manage supplier information.
- Limited Tracking: Beyond business cards, Facebook had no systematic way to track and categorize suppliers, leading to missed opportunities.
- Lost Potential: Promising vendors often fell through the cracks due to the lack of a streamlined supplier management system.
- Limited Supplier Search: Facebook teams had limited ability to search for suppliers when new opportunities arose, hindering their ability to connect with potential partners effectively.
The Solution
Azumo worked closely with Facebook to develop a comprehensive solution that addressed their specific supplier management needs at conferences:
- Azumo built a react-based conversational application.
- The app allowed suppliers to self-register with Facebook.
- Suppliers could scan their basic information into the system.
- They could then chat with the bot to provide additional details.
- A robust database allowed all suppliers to be categorized and scored.
