The journey from a small-scale software company to one of the leaders in retail ERP segment was a roller coaster. Despite witnessing many challenges right from convincing the Indian retailers to technological changes to the changes in regulations for retail industry and incorporation of the same in its solution, Ginesys has taken every challenge as an opportunity.
With support from its dynamic team & their hard work, the company defeated all hurdles. The company has done that right through its journey and will continue to do so in the future as well.
The main challenge that Ginesys faces is to reach the increasing expectations of the customers every single day. There have been times when the company has come across unrealistic expectations desired by the customers.
Another major challengefaced in the era of digitalization is to keep up with the latest technology, trends and business requirements that have proved to be a tough but necessary ordeal.
Looking out for problems and challenges that the industry faces, Ginesys has always been able to fine-tune its offerings and remains open to changes for the betterment of the company.It has set its own idea portal which allows both stakeholders as well as customers to provide feedback and suggestions.
Because of its customer-centric approach, Ginesys functions in a way that motivates its employees to gain more knowledge and openly express their thoughts. The Founder and CEO of Ginesys, Prashant Lohia asserts,"A customer-centric approach is based not on expertise in the realm of product development, but rather on a deep understanding of what the customer actually wants, when and how they want it, and what they're willing to give you in exchange.
The customers can drop in any idea or business problem for which they want a solution through our retail ERP and which is within the scope of the software, at this portal. We try our best to sort it out and update the status of it regularly."
Prashant is extremely passionate about designing flexible systems, solving business problems and infusing best practices of the industry. His love for technology-driven business efficiency motivated him to start Ginesys. A CA, CFA and MBA from ICFAI, Prashant's expertise in Retail Software Solutions and Retail Business Consultancy has had a huge positive impact on Ginesys growth over the years.
The Modern Retail Industry has seen various advancements in technology, where the degree of automation has enhanced in a massive way. This has, in turn, enabled Ginesys to incorporate various features that are designed to not only improve the business processes and efficiency but to help enhance the customer experience as well.
In a conversation with The CEO Magazine, Prashant elucidates, "We are rapidly embracing the web and our plan is to make the entire solution work in the browser. We would also be working on mobile integrations, e-commerce integrations, and deeper CRM integrations.
Also, we are in the process of rolling out cloud POS. We also have ambitious expansion plans in terms of Geography, Industry, and portfolio."
One major challenge that the Indian Retail Industry witnessed in the year 2017 was the implementation of GST which brought the need for a drastic change. It was a challenge that Ginesys decided to tackle keeping its head on.
In order to help its customers and their respective ecosystems, the company came up with a GST return filing solution, EaseMyGST, which is fully integrated with Ginesys and helps to sort out all queries and dilemmas about the new GST regime.
