Key Challenges
HR and Payroll
The existing manual process of exporting attendance data into Excel, going through all the data manually, including validation and approvals, increments, statutory deductions, loan deductions and more, was taking 2-3 days for each pay cycle.MIS Reports
Daily and monthly P&L reports were always a struggle. This included inability to quickly access profitability bifurcation for showroom and workshop. Furthermore, DMS and extranet data reconciliation was done manually and was extremely time consuming.Sales and Purchases
Manual entry of DMS sales and purchases details into the existing accounting system for each location became a time-consuming activity prone to errors.Statutory
- TDS and TCS: Manual segregation of data and calculation; approvals and payments. A separate application process was used resulting in the duplication of accounting information. Manual entry of deductions and rounding off of amounts and balances created issues
- GSTRs: Lots of manual work in the form of data validation from DMS dump and manual posting in Tally, Challenges with B2B, B2C and HSN Wise summary segregation. Significant time spent on this activity with delays caused potential statutory violations
- E-Invoice: Manual reconciling – matching/mismatches, manual validation of invoice cancellations resulted in problems
- Input Tax Credit: Validating data manually, including invoice numbers, PAN, GSTIN, party names, tax values and DMS/Tally data, created issues. Multiple branch data was also a challenge
- Receipts and Payments Reconciliation: Reconciliation of pending warranty claims, FSC’s manual checks, Credit Card, online and UPI payments were extremely time-consuming and challenging
- Fixed Assets: Excel management, depreciation calculation, reporting, manual taxation led to no ownership of processes and tediousness in tracking asset custodian. FAR was not up to date
