This Kolkata-based mid-sized builder had a team of 50+ people but no clarity.
β Daily site reports were on WhatsApp, not in any system π No track of vendor advances or payment schedules π§ββοΈ HR approvals (attendance, leaves, overtime) were done over calls π€― Staff payroll had frequent mismatchesβmanual Excel, outdated sheets π Sales team followed up randomly, and hot leads slipped away π§Ύ Materials were ordered twice, sometimes at wrong sites
The owner was stressed:
“I used to think I was managing everything β but money was leaking from every corner.”
