Project Background

Challenges in Traditional Management Processes

Before integrating Digital Star’s Odoo ERP system, BDI Equipments faced a range of business management and process challenges. Their reliance on traditional communication tools like instant messaging, emails, and Excel spreadsheets resulted in several management hurdles:

  1. Lack of Transparency: Using IM tools and emails for communication led to insufficient traceability and transparency in business processes. Information scattered across various conversations and emails hindered project tracking and monitoring, increasing communication costs.
  2. Data Silos: Previous operations were heavily reliant on multiple Excel spreadsheets, causing data isolation between departments. Incompatible data sets hindered the holistic understanding of business performance and operations.
  3. Inefficiency: Manual data input and handling resulted in errors and duplicated efforts, draining time and productivity.
  4. Lack of Integration: Operating on separate platforms like Amazon and Shopify for e-commerce sales and disjointed last-mile logistics and financial systems caused integration issues, data silos, increased costs, and a steep learning curve.
