Shree Laxmi Hardware, a popular wholesale-retail shop in Indore, was struggling.
β Old stock kept piling up; new stock couldnβt move fast π No track of fast vs. slow-moving items π§ββοΈ Managers manually checked inventory sheets π€― Frequent customer complaints of items βnot availableβ despite full godown π§Ύ Wasted money on over-ordering the same products
Owner Rajesh ji put it simply: βWe had no idea what was actually selling and what was just gathering dust.β
π‘ The Solution
Rajesh ji decided to go digital with our ERP system. Hereβs how the magic happened:
Step by step:
1οΈβ£ Step 1: Inventory Dashboard Setup β
Live dashboard showed real-time stock levels, reorder alerts, and dead stock identification across categories.
Store staff attendance, shifts, and daily tasks were fully automated.
No more confusion like: βDid this guy even show up today?β
Everything was tracked β live and accurate.
3οΈβ£ Step 3: WhatsApp + CRM Integration β
Follow-ups with vendors and major clients were automated.
For example: βSir, this product is now back in stock!β β an auto WhatsApp alert β quick reorders, no manual follow-ups.
4οΈβ£ Step 4: Purchase & Vendor Managements β
Linked purchases to demand + stopped duplicate orders. Only purchase whatβs moving β stop filling warehouse with unsold stock.
5οΈβ£ Step 5: Expense & Leakage Reporting β
Daily expense tracking caught wastage like broken products, expired stock, or returns.
π The Result
π₯ 50% reduction in dead stock in just 60 days
π§ Stock rotation became smooth
πΈ Saved βΉ12.5 Lakhs in wasted inventory
π· Managers focused on customer service, not stock counting
π Happier customers = 25% increase in repeat business
Rajesh jiβs words:
βEarlier the shop was running β now, the system runs it! I have full control in my hands.β
π Why It Worked
βοΈ Systems over manpower βοΈ Automated alerts = faster action βοΈ Clear dashboards = no guessing βοΈ WhatsApp + CRM = timely client communication βοΈ Simple tools β used daily by entire team
