Challenge
Tanin has been heavily reliant on manual processes for managing various aspects of their business, including-
HRMS, manufacturing, sales, purchase, inventory management, and accounting.
Production Inefficiencies: Tanin faced difficulties in effectively managing their manufacturing orders. Timely scheduling & maintaining product quality became challenging, impacting their overall production efficiency.
Lack of Real-time Information: Without automated systems, they struggle to access real-time information about inventory levels, sales trends, employee performance, and financial health. This hampers their ability to make informed decisions swiftly.
Manual Errors and Inventory Challenges: Dealing with mistakes made manually in sales, purchasing, and tracking inventory led to problems and disruptions in their operations. They had too much paperwork and spreadsheets, which sometimes caused the risk of losing important information. Keeping track of how much stock they had on hand was a constant challenge, and often led to delays in order fulfillment, inaccurate financial reporting, and extended lead times in manufacturing.
Disorganized HR Operations: As the company expanded, managing employees became increasingly challenging. They relied on manual record-keeping using paper and spreadsheets, leading to numerous issues such as errors in data entry, difficulties in hiring and reporting, and lots of time spent on tasks (e.g., managing leave, attendance tracking, and employee onboarding). These issues made work slower, less secure, and less satisfying for employees, impacting overall HR effectiveness.
Limited Financial Insights: Tanin needed better, up-to-the-minute financial insights to make strategic decisions. Their accounting system lacked the necessary depth of data, making it challenging to optimize financial strategies effectively.
Limited Scalability: Their manual workflows make it challenging to scale their operations efficiently. As they aim to grow their business, the existing processes cannot support the increased workload without a proportional increase in labor.
Employee Frustration: Their employees often find themselves burdened with repetitive, mundane tasks that could be automated. This not only affects their job satisfaction but also hinders their ability to focus on more strategic and value-added activities.
