Retail Store Software - RetailGraph --- Growing Businesses




How Mr. Patel Celebrated a Jubilant Diwali with

"RetailGraph"

Hello, we are back with our stories, and we hope you have read our earlier posts.

Which Shares about RetailGraph and how it works as a best retail store software.

Today’s story is about a businessman and his worries, and how RetailGraph helped him celebrate his Diwali in more joyous manner.

Mr. Patel has a Big Grocery Store in has to manage the staff and transaction on his own, to add more frequent requests on phone for free home delivery in and around the region is also a task that eats out most of his time.

It was the winters and the festive season is ahead with Eid-Dusshera and Diwali line up in stock and will approach in a month’s time. Usually we clean, paint and decorate our shops, home and houses and celebrate the festival.

But this season is different for Mr. Patel, with diminishing margins and increasing operational costs he is a little worried on how things will work for him and what should be done to expand and grow.

He thought he must invest in something fruitful during the festive season to give his business a boost, he was also afraid of picking up something wrong, so thought of introspecting on the challenges he faces, so that he can get a solution to remove or reduce those challenges.

Few of the challenges faced by Mr. Patel were as below:
  • Slow billing as using local software, which hangs at times and is not robust
  • Customer Engagement (although he know many familiar faces but can’t really make a connect with them )
  • Control over near expiry goods
  • Accountability for Lessing loose item in inaccurate
  • Managing Returns and replacements 
  • Managing the Order queues for home delivery 
  • Products without barcodes
  • Inventory Management with an understanding of fast moving item, slow moving item and more reports for analysis
  • Accounting Till balance sheet, can show daily P&L statement
  • Can import export data and can analyze the details
  • Best Vendor Selection
So the requirement was clear now he want an online store for his shop, which can be integrated with the Retail Store software which is also a requirement.

Apart from the above challenges Mr. Patel also wishes for the following:

To have an online store ( as many young customers have enquired about it so that they can log in and order online – being the oldest and trusted store Mr. Patel has a very good chance to target these customers in the region.) but is afraid due to the manageability

So with all these thoughts conceptualized in mind, Mr. Patel searched online for Retail Store Software and came across RetailGraph software solution from SWIL.

He understood all the details provided on their website along with the blogs and online videos, and thought of having an                                                                            online demo.

And to add on further these reports have other combination to have more detailed reporting and analysis. So RetailGraph has ample of reports for your needs and requirements.

But still coming back to the point of Need and Want, software users must understand and clearly differentiate between their needs and wants to finalize the best solution for them. Best in terms of the work as well as commercially.

A need can further be divided into
(1) Stated needs, 
(2) Real needs, 
(3) Unstated needs,
(4) Delight needs, and 
(5) Secret needs.

Responding only to the stated need may short change the customer. For example, if a customer enters a hardware store and asks for a sealant to seal glass window panes, she is stating a solution, not a need. If the salesperson suggests that tape would provide a better solution, the customer may appreciate that the salesperson met her need and not her stated solution.

Hence both for the vendor and the customer it is very crucial to understand the needs to have the best experience through the software.

We at SWIL make sure that we understand the need in totality before sharing the solution.

We believe that solution needs has to be defined such that it covers what is immediately needed and it must have a little room to expand considering the future plans.

Retailgraph Covers reporting and analytic in detailed way, and we also develop customized reporting based on the special requirement of our clients.

However we feel it is more important for businesses to understand what is needed and what suits them, as there are Nth no. of reports and analytic which can be inferred and one can come up with, but is it really needed or required is the question that organisation must consider and ask themselves.

Hope you have liked the blog and the details shared. Please share your comments.
