Introduction

In the competitive world of handcrafted jewellery, The company stands out with its exquisite designs and celebrity clientele. However, managing over 3500 SKUs across two physical stores and an ecommerce platform posed significant challenges. This case study explores how we transformed The company’s business processes, paving the way for scalability and data-driven decision-making.

The Challenge

The company, a renowned handcrafted jewellery company, was managing their business data using physical books and Excel sheets. While this approach worked initially, it soon became a bottleneck as the business grew. The key challenges included:

• Inefficient Data Management: Physical books and Excel sheets were prone to errors and data duplication due to the large volume of SKUs and orders.
• Lack of Real-Time Data: Invoices were created using physical bill books, delaying access to real-time sales data until manually entered into accounting software.
• Inventory Management Issues: Without real-time inventory data, planning for new inventory purchases was based on guesswork rather than data-driven decisions.
• Performance Insights: The absence of individual store performance insights made it difficult to manage two branches and an online store effectively.
• Refunds and Repairs: Managing product refunds, exchanges, and repair tracking was cumbersome and inefficient.
• Sales Trends and Customer Insights: The company lacked sales trend analysis and customer insights, hindering targeted marketing and inventory planning.
• Scalability Concerns: Before opening a third store, The company needed a streamlined business process and consolidated reporting.
