Growth strategy

A family managed, second generation business house, engaged in Jewellery retail business with a very large business size with multiple branches across the State required to be transformed to a process-oriented company.

The first and foremost activity was to freeze the Objectives and goals of the organisation and to arrive at an appropriate business strategy which will align with the goals. The methods used were SWOT, Core Competency analysis, Vision/Mission and then Business Strategy.

The organisation was managed with traditional approach with push strategies in sales and with no clear focus on Marketing & Sales activities, with lack of dedicated team to monitor. After understanding the reality, it was suggested to have a Corporate Sales Team at the HO which will be responsible to achieve the Sales targets through the various Branches and Points of Sales.

The organisation was classified into 5 departments and about 50 business processes. The organization structure was created and roles and responsibility of each position was defined. A three-layered organisation structure was suggested with a Pyramid Structure at all levels.

The result was phenomenal and the corporate sales team was set with a clear day to day process aimed at both enabling and monitoring activities. This resulted in clarity on roles as well as enhanced focus on sales activity and finally resulting in higher rate of growth with same infrastructure.

Each of the other departments started working with clear focus on their functional structure and goals and also how to interact with each other department to achieve the common goals.

The business has since grown from 1200 crores in 2015 to 4000 crores in March 2024.

Costing Solutions

A 200 crore auto-component manufacturing company in existence for about 30 years with about 1200 product variants, did not have its costing systems in place. Though the sales was going up over the years, the profit ratio was going down. The management could not take a decision on saying no to any customer or any product due to lack of proper costing data at the product level.

After analysing the process, an appropriate costing system was developed, with cost mappings from the origin of the cost drivers. The result was to achieve a product level contribution report and this was achieved with good amount of effort and time.

Once this report was in place, the management could understand that the real problem was not with the pricing but with certain uncontrolled overheads. The management focus was diverted to the proper areas and the results achieved.

ERP Strategy

A Rs.50 Crore food manufacturing and retail company run by a single promoter was facing a tough situation in managing all functions of the organization when the growth has been good. There was no reliable data flow in the organisation and the decision making was more on experience and gut feeling. This had resulted in the company not able to have clarity on numbers and not able to exploit the growth potential of the business. Management review was not happening properly due to lack of reliable data.

The company had invested some money on implementing certain home-grown ERP but things were not moving as the vendor was not appropriate for the situation. Given the future potential and strategies of the business, a proper strategy was formed for ERP solution and it was decided to go for SAP B1 as an appropriate solution for the company and we identified a vendor for implementing the same. Kenspire acted as an interface between the company and the ERP vendor and within a short period of 4 months, the implementation of the first phase of SAP B1 was completed and all functions of the organisation were covered under the ERP.

The significant aspect of this is the interface between the client and the vendor for successful implementation of the software.

The organisation was classified into 5 departments and about 50 business processes. After a thorough AS-IS study and GAP analysis, TO-Be process document was created for each of the processes. This was supported by Roles and responsibilities document for each process. To further percolate, individual Work Instructions were prepared for each sub-activity under various processes. All these were guided by the documented policies of the organisation for the various functions.

The organisation structure was created and roles and responsibility of each position was defined. A three layered organization structure was suggested with a Pyramid Structure at all levels.

Implementation of the same was taken up by way of workshops, training programs, etc and supported by a Process Compliance Review/Audit.
