I was doing Electrical and lighting business.The sales were good, because our marketing was efficient, and we had a good Brand. But as you must have heard the Story of Emperor,s new clothes, my situation was similar. I felt everything looked rosy from outside, but it was not so. I was not focusing on profits and even less on the cash flow my business was generating, because I did not have a good ERP (Enterprise Resources and Planning) system, and the things went from not so good to worse. The company went into a huge loss, and even the new funds which I had brought  in later was not enough. If at that time I had given importance to tracking and monitoring the business, using a good ERP software, I would have immediately realised that not  everything is smooth sailing and would have immediately anticipated the severe cash flow problems my business will face in the future.The present picture would have been totally different, though we are now taking corrective steps and bouncing back.

ERP ( Enterprise resource planning) is a software which integrates the Accounting, Human resources Planning, and productive assets utilisation in one unique complete seamless integrated business system.   ERP systems help improve productivity and profitability in many ways but the 3 key areas are as mentioned bellow.

Later the proforma invoice, sales invoice can all be prepared without repeating the items, but by simply picking up the entries from quotation   sent to the customer earlier.   There are many such methods by which the time and effort

 I along with my wife Kavita Madhiwalla, are undergoing the Digital Deepak Internship batch 3, and the following is the summary of what I learnt from  class 2. 1. Learn Do Teach. The Best way to learn is to start doing what is learnt, and then teach others what you have learnt and done. This reinforces learning and at the same time, you get to know practically the topic you have learnt. 2. Mistakes are future benefits, the value of which is yet to be realised.  This is the attitude one must take, where you consider failures, setbacks as steeping stone to success. 3. Marketing is about good conversations . If you cannot converse 1:1, you cannot coverse 1: Many. What it means is when we are conversing, even online, we have to connect with the person. We should converse as if speaking to a friend, and keep in mind the persona (customer avatar) you have in mind. So even if there are many people on the other side, most of them feel connected as they will feel you are speaking to them, and
