During our numerous hours of discovery sessions with owners and decision makers of Manufacturing (Discrete) companies, we have noticed many challenges and pain points in their industry with their current softwares.
Some of the challenges and pain points are :
- Lack of planning for production hence running out with excess inventory or shortage of inventory.
- Managing the inventory minimum in all sites/warehouses is very difficult and causes a loss of orders.
- Managing inventory – Assembly and sub-assemblies are always a challenge.
- Serial numbers managing for every finished goods and sometimes managing for both raw material and finished goods is challenging.
- Managing dealer and distributor networks and getting orders is quite challenging.
- Product delivery and generating e-Waybills from the Government portal takes a lot of time.
- Generating invoices and payment collection is getting tough and causing cash/flow issues.
- Sales Reps booking orders over the field and informing the operations team over the phone is causing a lot of errors.
- Complaints from customers are not resolved on time and no clue about SLA violations.
- Sending emails / WhatsApp invoice documents manually is taking a lot of time.
- Leads/Quotes managing in Excel, and not able to get good Pipeline reports with probability to plan cash flows.
- While collecting orders for school ID card printing / Bag printing the key challenge is collecting the information from them like what size and what the sample image etc.
- At present all these communications are happening through WhatsApp and dealing with hundreds of customers is very challenging.
- Answering customers' calls about order status is quite complicated and takes a lot of resources, still, customers are not happy.
- Allotting area-wise customers to a sales rep and getting payment collections from customers is getting quite difficult because everyday printing A/R aging reports for the sales team is getting difficult.
- Many customers skip the amounts buying time by simply skipping the payment and asking the SalesRep to send me the ledger etc.
- Sending Field Reps to the field and no clue about their daily activities and what all the areas covered. Not able to track the leads generated by Sales Reps in the field.
- Booking advance amount per order is also a challenge. Booking at the order level and collecting the rest of the balance is quite complex.
