How ERPNext Helped Drive Scale and Efficiency in a Growing Business.

Mr. Suraj Surana, one of the Director at Peekay International comments “We have a lot more reports that we can view, which helps us manage our business more efficiently. We do not require trained professionals to do simple data entry as with many other business applications which require training before it can be put to use. The best feature is that this application runs on a web browser. No cd's or installation files required. I can get to know what is happening in my company weather I am in Mumbai or Delhi or any other part of the world. All I require is just an Internet Connection on a computer.”

Business Challenges
  1. Manual delivery challans were prepared from multiple locations. These were then sent by post to the head office where accounting entries happened. Multiple entries were happening at head office and warehouse which was leading to errors.

How did we implement?
  1. Initial 3 days of onsite training was provided to the key users to upload the masters and important transactions.
  2. Few dummy entries were carried out to for a month to understand how various scenarios will be handled by the system.

  4. New users were trained by the existing users.
  5. For any queries online chat and phone support was used.
