One of the biggest reasons for ERP projects failing is companies’ insistence on their old ways. The client thinks that just installing the software is everything and there is no fundamental problem with their existing processes. No one has the courage to say that the emperor is without clothes and from thereon the project gets delayed as every existing business process is required in the new system which will never happen.
Let us think: what is the purpose of ERP? to streamline operations not just to add a layer of data to old operations.
Hence we need to focus on process improvement as the first goal of implementation rather than mapping existing processes in the system.
If there are gaps in the mapping, the validity of the existing processes needs to be checked and if required the process needs to be changed or dropped if it is not fitting with the new way of doing things.
This obviously brings me to another related point of management strength being a key predictor of ERP success but I shall cover that in another post.
Meanwhile do not keep old wine in the new bottle.

ERP projects need a fresh approach
Ginesys plays well with Excel
One tool which Ginesys has had from a long time is import / export utility which works with Excel and CSV files. Just create the required fields in an excel data sheet. Add the data and import. That’s it!
This can allow creation of millions of barcoded items along with stock information in seconds instead of days. There are various other uses for the tool as it works on practically all modules. It also makes data export from Ginesys a breeze.
So if you are wondering if Ginesys will be simple to use and integrate, stop wondering and start using.
A galaxy of leading MBOs empowered by Ginesys
Despite the recent government stay on allowing FDI in multi-brand retail this sector is still going strong with many local players reaping the benefits. This segment of retail has the most complex of challenges when it comes to dealing with inventory management as they need a variety of suppliers and usually deal in a variety of goods including apparel, footwear, toys, cosmetics, homeware etc.
Maintaining a huge inventory master and dealing with replenishment and store planning (for multi-store chains) becomes a huge headache typically resulting in dead stock.Also buying and managing the procure-to-pay cycle is very complex without automation.
Ginesys automates all these aspects. We are thus privileged to be able to help the likes of:

New wave of online retailing to be powered by Ginesys
Ginesys has just created a Webworks division under the leadership of Suvadeep Sarkar which is going to provide website and ecommerce site development services. With the rising cost of offline retail and growing number of online shoppers getting into this business is becoming a must for most brands and retailers.
Yet there seems to be a deep disrespect for the medium by current service providers. Most are not focused on creating quality sites.
Another huge advantage of the Ginesys ecosystem is that we can show online only what is in stock based on your parameters. This extremely simplifies the painful task of keeping stock up to date.
So why hesitate? Get in touch with us to start creating your integrated online store.
Replenishment tool reduces supply gaps
Getting the right product at the right place at the right time is the major goal in running any retail chain. Through forecasting retailers try to get the product mix right at their stores through seasons. But once a product starts to sell at a steady rate it is an unnecessary headache to organize refills. This is the problem that we have solved through replenishment or more accurately auto-replenishment, which is now possible with Ginesys.
Once you have decided your minimum stock level and reorder quantity for the core stock items at critical locations, the system shall automatically raise a requisition for the stock from the warehouse whenever in-store stock plus inbound stock is below the minimum
quantity.
Ginesys takes this a step further: if the stock is falling low at the warehouse too then a required purchase orders report can be generated as well. This takes into consideration in-hand as well as in-transit (inbound – outbound) as well as requisitioned stock. On the basis of this accurate purchase orders can be raised.
This concept is the similar to open-to-buy found in other systems. So go ahead and think of the right product the other things will be taken care of.
