Real-time analytics helps our investors monitor business anytime from abroad

The challenge

• Risk of data security Important business information was accessible to all staff irrespective of roles, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive business data and transactions.
• Limited business controlWith business partners managing operations from abroad, monitoring daily sales, purchases, inventory, and financial performance in real time was difficult, and delayed important investment decisions.
• Tedious stock auditingInventory verification was largely manual and required significant effort. Delayed stock audits made it difficult to identify stock discrepancies quickly, resulting in inventory losses and inaccurate purchasing decisions.

The solution: Gofrugal

As customer walk-ins increased and sales peaked, ZOI Grocery realized manual operations would lead to confusion, and understood the importance of implementing software for their business.

ZOI Grocery implemented Gofrugal's solution to centralize operations across outlets. The reports in the software helped identify significant stock discrepancies that had previously gone unnoticed. This early detection led them to investigate inventory losses immediately and implement systematic stock auditing processes to prevent further leakage.

• Quick stock auditingUsing the GoSure StockTake App, inventory audits became significantly faster and more accurate. The team can now audit nearly 1,000 products in approximately 10 minutes, instantly updating stock quantities in the system. This enabled quick identification of inventory variances and better inventory control.
• Informed purchase decisionsInventory replenishment is now driven by real-time stock levels instead of manual estimation. Low-stock alerts help the team generate purchase orders at the right time, ensuring optimal inventory availability while avoiding overstocking and stockouts.
• Intelligent repacking ZOI Grocery procures products in bulk and converts them into child items, as per demand, using Gofrugal's repacking feature. Once the conversion factor is set, the software automatically manages those conversion factors, generates child items with unique item codes and barcodes, and simplifies barcode-based billing for repacked products.
• Secure cash managementThe billing counter is tightly integrated with the cash drawer. The cash drawer opens only after a bill is successfully completed and closes only after the cashier deposits the corresponding cash amount. This reduces cash handling errors and strengthens financial accountability.
• Role-based admin controlAccess permissions are assigned based on employee responsibilities. Billing staff receive access only to billing operations, while sensitive business information remains restricted to authorized personnel, ensuring stronger data security.
