Executive Summary

We have collated data points from the following sources to analyze the key challenges faced by brands:
NPS Survey
Brand LoDs
Concerns raised via Slack, emails, and daily routines
i/o metrics from the SX portal
Currently, most operational issues are raised through Slack and emails. Consolidating these themes, the central problem areas identified are Fulfillment, Payout, and Support:
Fulfillment: Ensuring timely pickups and improving the dispatch-to-order rate.
Payout: Streamlining the claim settlement process, reducing invoice mismatch errors, and improving integration with the OMS.
Support: Reducing TAT for issue resolution, improving return rates, and enhancing ad ROI through better product discovery.
Additionally, an NQD analysis was conducted for brands on Mall as per the latest definition. Key findings include:
40 BPC brands (12% of Mall OC) breached the NQD guardrails.
22 WMF Brands (2.5% of WMF OC) breached the NQD guardrails.
The primary L1/L2 reasons for these breaches include:
WMF: Wrong/missing product received, quality issues, and size chart discrepancies.
PCW: Poor product quality, high WFR, incorrect sizing, and wrong/missing product deliveries.

Instrumentation

NPS
We revamped the NPS survey by adding more detailed questions to enable continuous problem discovery. So far, responses have been collected from 30 brands in the last one month. Additionally, an NPS survey pop-up was introduced on the supplier panel to increase the fill rate, which helped to achieve a better fill rate.
Here are the NPS results, highlighting Support and Payout workstreams as immediate areas for improvement. The following brands have raised concerns regarding these issues. We are currently reaching out to them to gain deeper insights and implement necessary fixes.

Currently, we do not have a consolidated process for analyzing all the concerns brands face. These concerns are gathered through NPS surveys, LoDs, Slack/email channels, and daily problem escalations. Moving forward, we need to explore a centralized ticketing system. However, before implementing it, we are in the process of establishing an SOP with defined TATs for each problem statement, ensuring alignment with the relevant product functions.

NQD Deepdive

Context

Previously, our NQD deboarding process was limited to SL and Non-brands (as defined under the new guidelines). National, D2C, and other Brands (as per the updated definition) were excluded from the monthly detagging exercise and guardrail checks. However, with the recent exclusion of Non-brands from Mall, we continue to observe brands exceeding the NQD guardrails, as outlined below. The major deviations were found in PCW and WMF categories.

Product Roadmap | KR updates
Appendix ​The instrumentation began with compiling an exhaustive list of problem areas, followed by evaluating each using the methodology outlined below (Oct '24). A summary of the approach conducted at that time is provided in the appendix for reference. For detailed workings, please refer to the link below:
Brand Experience - PFS · KR Prioritization [
]Overall Approach to Prioritizing KRs

1. Problem Identification & Input Collection

A comprehensive list of problems is compiled from multiple sources, ensuring all key pain points and opportunities are captured:
Brand LoDs
Category team interactions
User Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)

2. Problem Categorization

The identified problems are categorized using three key parameters, each rated as High, Medium, or Low:

a. Brand Priority (50% weightage)

Evaluates the strategic importance of the brand based on:
Alignment with organizational goals and brand stature
Potential NMV uplift
OC weightage on other platforms (e.g., Flipkart)

b. Man-Hour Effort Estimation (20% weightage)

Estimates the man-hours that can be optimized or saved, both internally (Meesho team) and externally (brand team), by resolving the problem.

c. I/O Escalation Metrics (30% weightage)

Measures the severity of the issue based on the volume of related escalations. Problems with a high number of escalations receive greater weightage.

3. Evaluation & Ranking

Each problem is assessed based on these parameters, and a weighted average score is calculated to create a stack rank—prioritizing problems by overall impact and feasibility.

4. KR Prioritization

Based on the stack rank, KRs are classified into:
Hygiene: Essential tasks that require immediate attention to ensure smooth operations.
H1/10X: High-priority, high-impact initiatives that should be fast-tracked, often requiring tech intervention.
H2: Medium-priority, long-term initiatives that contribute to growth but can be scheduled later.

5. Cross-Functional Support & Operational Feasibility

For each prioritized KR, the feasibility of execution is assessed, identifying whether it can be handled within the team or requires cross-functional collaboration (e.g., Tech, Product, Business, FE, etc.).
