The operating problem
What needs to become clearer
A hardware store can lose visibility when counter sales, trade credit and quotations are split between paper, WhatsApp messages and disconnected spreadsheets.
Recommended approach
Start with the workflow, then test the software
A useful demonstration should follow counter sales, trade credit and quotations, then test whether the current Vyapar plan handles the required records without adding complexity the staff will not maintain.
