Sharanga/Kuber, a prominent name in the handicraft industry, faced significant challenges in managing their extensive inventory of over 40,000 products, order workflows, and dynamic pricing adjustments. Manual processes for order approvals, invoice generation, and inventory tracking led to inefficiencies and delays, while the lack of a structured system for barcode integration and product categorization limited scalability.
BitAce Technologies developed a tailored digital solution that included a centralized inventory management system, an EAN-compliant barcode module, and an automated order processing platform. This system streamlined order approvals, ensured accurate product categorization, and enabled dynamic pricing updates in real time. With advanced features like vendor mapping and on-demand catalog generation, Sharanga/Kuber transformed its operations, reducing processing time by 50%, improving global inventory management, and strengthening its ability to adapt to market demands.
BitAce developed a robust inventory management system for Sharanga/Kuber, enabling seamless tracking of over 40,000 products. The system ensured precise categorization, facilitating efficient stock control, and accurate product retrieval. This centralized solution streamlined inventory operations, reduced manual efforts, and improved operational efficiency across locations.
To ensure Sharanga/Kuber’s products were compatible with international standards, BitAce implemented a barcode system that adhered to EAN guidelines. This solution provided unique, concise product codes, enabling efficient barcode printing and inventory tracking, while allowing the company to validate products in global markets for greater scalability and visibility.
BitAce developed an automated order management system to eliminate the need for manual order tracking and invoicing. This system enabled real-time order processing, client approval, and invoicing, reducing human errors and accelerating workflow. By automating these tasks, Sharanga/Kuber significantly improved productivity and transaction accuracy.
With the rising cost of raw materials, BitAce created a dynamic pricing engine for Sharanga/Kuber. The engine automatically recalculated product prices based on real-time cost changes, such as fluctuations in brass prices. This ensured up-to-date pricing across all products and channels, maintaining profitability and adaptability in a competitive market.
One of the primary challenges was implementing an EAN-compliant barcode system for over 40,000 unique products. Ensuring the barcode system was efficient, concise, and aligned with international market standards posed a significant technical hurdle, requiring precise categorization and seamless integration with existing inventory management systems.
Sharanga/Kuber’s existing order management process was entirely manual, leading to inefficiencies in processing large orders. The challenge was to automate this process without disrupting their operations, ensuring smooth integration of the new system with invoicing, client approvals, and order tracking while minimizing errors and delays.
A major challenge emerged when the cost of brass, a key raw material, tripled unexpectedly. This required rapid adaptation in the pricing model to reflect such significant fluctuations. The solution needed to dynamically update prices across the system, ensuring profitability without affecting customer relations or sales processes.
Given the wide variety of products, categorizing and managing such a large inventory was challenging. The solution had to be scalable, allowing easy tracking and categorization across multiple categories without overloading the system. The new inventory system had to handle future growth in both product volume and complexity efficiently.
