Business Needs & Challenges

Zamani Jewellery Jewellery approached Sharper Software to address the challenges below:

• Item Lifecycle Tracking Challenges:
  • Staff have to enter Item details more than once during its lifetime. This is time-consuming, as well as being error-prone.
  • On the day of physical count, items are weighed and compared to the expected overall weight of gold in the particular store. It is not possible to determine which items are short and which ones are excess.
• Tracking Accounts Receivable is not easy
  • Most of the customer details are not captured properly. Hence, it is not easy to accurately determine how much each customer owes the company.
  • In order to get an accurate figure for Accounts Receivable, accountants have to gather information from multiple sources, compare and contrast the results and then arrive at the correct figure.

Technology needs to be used in order to address the challenges mentioned above, in totality and consistently.
