Key Challenges Faced
Manual Processes
Royal Paints heavily relied on manual processes and Excel spreadsheets for data management, leading to inefficiencies and errors.
Costing Calculations
The absence of a robust system made it challenging for the company to calculate costing accurately for manufacturing orders, impacting profitability.
