The Background - Issues & Challenges

Prima Group’s existing software didn’t have proper integration between Point of Sale (POS), Inventory and Accounting modules which resulted in improper and inaccurate management of sales and inventory. Also, multiple stores couldn’t be centrally controlled from their head office. As there were no integration between Sales, Inventory and Accounting modules, PRIMA Group used to do a manual stock adjustment process to balance the inventory. This caused in a high-volume wastage of money, effort, time and workforce. So, they started to look for an alternative solution that could address all their challenges. After doing a thorough research on products, services, reputation, reviews and ratings, Prima Group decided to choose Alpha EBM to work towards the solutions they needed.
