Prior to the ebizframe implementation, a Legacy System was in place which was addressing only the Accounting needs of the client. It was not catering to the Treasury, CMA, Port and ICD Management. Most importantly, Import Cycle was not available in the Legacy System, and was maintained in Excel Sheets. Flow of documents from the Import Department to Customs Clearance and ICD Department was a big bottleneck. The process used to be time-consuming and erroneous. Earlier, to get any historical data pertaining to a customer, a Sales Executive had to run multiple reports.
In the Legacy System, the Sales Invoice was booked in one system and the Inventory Management was done using another system. As there was no link between the two systems, there was always a mismatch between physical stock and system stock. This was time taking and wasting a lot of their resources.
Information pertaining to the container arrival at port used to come to the concerned department only at the last minute, due to which proper planning wasn’t possible. A huge amount of port charges & demur rage charges had to be paid to the shipping lines, as a result of this.Also, the container status was updated manually by the person to get a report, as a result of which valuable information went unnoticed and the container remained at ICD/unit for longer period. Earlier, the branch data came once in 15 days and the staff members at the Head Office were required to re-enter data in Tally from the hard copy. The data entry was entered using two software, one at the branch and another at the Head Office. There was no synchronization between the branch and HO, due to which a lot of reconciliation issues were coming up between the branch and HO database.
After a thorough evaluation, the client decided to go ahead with ebizframe ERP for Manufacturing, an ERP solution from Eastern Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
The client was impressed with ebizframe’s mobility and scalability, and its state-of-the-art modules like Finance, Sales, Inventory,etc. Also the prospect of a drastic reduction in the man-hours due to the automation of the Production Cycle, expedited the acquisition.
