About the Company

Mona Tyre is a decade old firm which deals in various types of Tyres. Apart from Tyre dealing, Mona Tyres is also a service providing company which provide services for almost all types of Tyres like; Tubes & Flaps, Bike Tyre, Farm Tyre, Car Tyres and Heavy Commercial Tyres. Mona Tyres head office is in Gondia however their branch offices are in three different locations and the operations are operated by six users respectively.

Key Challenges

  • Un-Skilled staff
  • Unable to take follow-up for services likes AMC due etc.
  • Improper monitoring on Inventory & finance at branch levels due to poor internet connection
  • No price control & credit controls
  • Improper monitoring of receivables, payables and supplier schemes
  • Multi-location Multi-Branch
  • Can’t figure out how to retain old customers to renew services
  • No proper Internet Connection
  • No proper tool to view stock and warehouse details

During our conversation with Mona Tyres owner ‘Piyush Agarwal’ he share the difficulties and challenges their business is facing because of the pitfall of their existing software. He was very clear about the attributes he is looking for in an ERP software. As the Company is located in remote area the internet connection is not proper and keep on fluctuating every now and then. Due to this they don’t want a solution that runs on real time basis instead they need something which works absolutely fine offline and whenever it get a proper net connection the data can sync to the server. As the company has expanded its presence with 3 branches, the biggest challenge that they face is inventory management. They realized it becomes more difficult day by day to streamline the supply chain. Piyush Agrawal said; without an integrated ERP system it becomes more difficult to plan the inter branch stock transfer from central branch. Another major challenge was to manage the information of kit as the company sell and purchase Tyres in kit; which is a combo of (Tire/Tube/Flap). Apart from all this, Mona Tyres Owner share his thoughts about using barcodes on every Tire. They want to generate barcode for every single Tyre and stick them on Tyres. However using barcode is not in trend among Tyre Dealers but Mona Tyres shows keen interest to use this feature.

The company also faces huge issues while managing inventory due to multi location and multi branches and they don’t have any proper system which can manage the customer credit details easily.
