Smart Moves: How a Paper Firm Grew with Business Central
About the Client
The client operates a mid-sized paper manufacturing company in India. They manufacture numerous paper products used in packaging, printing, and other industrial applications. Due to an expanding distribution network and several factory units, the client required a dependable solution to handle their operational workflow.
The Challenge
For bookkeeping, the company made use of Excel spreadsheets for overseeing sales, production, and inventory, while utilizing Tally for the accounting tasks. With the growth of the organization, they anticipated problems like incorrect billing, problems concerning production timelines, stock differences, no visibility between departments, and a number of others. The company hindered productivity and efficiency due to the use of manual processes.
