CASE STUDY: ART CRAFTMEN (ACM)

Business Challenge

Art Craftmen (ACM), dealing in Hardware and tools has been expanding their business in Kuwait having 2 retail shops with 6 POS systems in each shop respectively. Before implementing Axanta ERP, ACM used to manage their business operations manually.  Paper-based systems were used to maintain inventory, sales-purchase transactions, accounting and other business related operations, leading to numerous difficulties in keeping track of inventory, monitoring sales and were unable to achieve accurate end of day sales reports.

It was challenging to have a complete Retail module system with the existing solution and have a clear visibility across stores.  ACM wanted to have deeper strategic insights into their retail stores, which the previous solution failed to provide. In addition, the business was not able to generate automated quotations resulting in human errors and customer dissatisfaction.  

Further, they needed a system that would manage their critical business functions and provide the management with informed decisions in order to grow and have a competitive edge.


The Solution  

After evaluating many solutions, Axanta ERP was found to be the best solution for the management meeting all their requirements.  Axanta ERP made it possible for the management to completely automate their business operations and gave them the flexibility they were expecting of a retail management solution. 

The management was able to perform accounting and financial analysis that helped them to gain clear visibility into the business. Implementation with Axanta ERP also helped the business to save their valuable time and avoid the inconsistencies. The solution offered an effective and robust retail module to the business providing a consolidated view of the retail operations, inventory, and sales-purchase that resulted  in increasing their productivity.  

Axanta ERP made it possible for the management to generate automated quotations, eliminating the human errors and flaws. Also, accurate and reliable accounting and other financial reports were achieved, resulting in better decision making. 

ACM experienced a positive change in their business operations by not only reducing their manual work but also enhancing customer satisfaction with the best retail software- Axanta ERP.
