    The Challenge

    The challenge faced by the company in the last case study was the need to streamline their inventory and accounting processes. As a company that sells handmade children's toys, they needed to manage their inventory and manufacturing processes efficiently to ensure that they had the necessary stock levels to meet customer demand. Additionally, they needed to manage their financial transactions and record keeping accurately to ensure they had a clear picture of their business's financial health. The implementation of Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory helped them overcome these challenges by providing them with an efficient system for managing their inventory and accounting processes.

    Implementation

    Based on the challenge, the implementation was, for the most part, pretty straightforward, to automate Pontou systems.

    • In Zoho Books, we set up their accounting system, including chart of accounts, invoices, and expenses, and integrated it with their bank account for seamless transaction recording. We also customized the software to fit their unique business requirements, such as automating recurring transactions and customizing invoice templates.

    • In Zoho Inventory, we created an inventory management system that helped the company keep track of their handmade toys and raw materials. We set up inventory items, suppliers, and purchase orders, and also integrated the system with their e-commerce platform to manage their online sales. To streamline their manufacturing process, we created composite items and worked on managing their bill of materials within Zoho Inventory. We also integrated both systems to ensure a seamless flow of data between them, providing the client with an efficient way of managing their inventory, manufacturing, and accounting processes.
