• The software that was being used was DOS based and therefore did not have a Graphic User Interface or GUI due to which working on it was not as easy.
• The Security was not upto the standards.
• Log files which are an important part of day to day functioning specially of such a big organization were not being made available by the software
• Stock maintenance was a problem. This problem proving to be a major hurdle for the organization as they are stock keepers, suppliers and authorized dealers.
• There was little or no flexibility provided by the software that was being used for day to day activities.
• Excise processing was proving to be a problem time and again since the software that was used for it was not updated on the same and therefore it resulted in multiple errors.
• Even though it was a necessity for the organization that multiple users work using the software at the same time, the software did not provide this feature and thus only a limited number of people were able to use it. Which lead to incompatibility in between various processes this resulted an increase in man hours per task which affected the overall functioning of the organization.
• Another problem with the software was that it did not provide instant view of freshly modified data which lead to errors in day to day operations.
• As the organization was operational in multiple locations, it needed to connect its branch offices but the software that was being used did not provide this facility. This had become a really critical problem for the organization as a lot of cross-communication was there which was creating a lot of problems both in terms of coordination and efficiency of the work force.
• The software that was being used did not provide any way of communicating with the client electronically (e-mails etc), so postal mails and hence additional expenditures needed to be incurred at the time of communication with the client.
• Delivery challans had to be drafted out manually which proved to be quiet cumbersome and also resulted in significant amount of errors caused due to manual work.
