Case Study 03
Akshat Enterprises
Objective
Move from manual bookkeeping and Excel-based GST filing to an automated finance system — eliminating compliance errors, gaining real-time visibility into receivables and cash flow, and removing the manual burden of stock tracking across trading and manufacturing operations.
Challenge
- Manual bookkeeping causing delayed financial reporting and limited receivables visibility
- GST filing done manually from Excel — compliance errors and last-minute scrambles every quarter
- Stock tracked in separate spreadsheets — no real-time inventory visibility or automatic updates
- No integration between sales, inventory, and finance — creating reconciliation gaps every month
Solution
- Implemented Zoho Books with GST-compliant automated invoicing and GSTR-1/3B preparation
- Zoho Inventory connected to Books — sales orders auto-update stock, zero manual entry required
- Bank reconciliation automated with daily bank feeds — month-end closing reduced to hours
- Automated payment reminders set up for overdue receivables — reducing manual follow-up calls
