Big Data: A Great Boon to Chief Manager to Boost Sales

Big Data has created a lot of hype in tech market. What creates Big Data? Big Data is actually a large pool of structured, semi-structured and unstructured information available via social media, CRM solutions, websites, news feeds etc.

By using cutting-edge tools to make right sense of Big Data, chief managers can give a significant boost to their business. Big Data equips managers with understanding of customer behavior and ability to take informed business decisions.
Once it is known that a particular person has searched for a product that your company offers, the person becomes a prospective customer for your business. The prospective customer can be easily approached using retargeting and remarketing strategies, which increases conversion chances by many folds.

Many big firms have begun to invest in Big Data Solutions to take their businesses to new heights. So far, IBM and Cloudera have dominated the market as top Big Data Solution providers.

A big lot of leads is of no use until there is clarity over which customers are interested and likely to buy your products. Lack of Big Data often creates a situation wherein managers target a lot of customers with products that many do not want to buy, a big factor in low conversion rates. With Big Data, it’s easy to separate prospective customers from long list of leads. After genuine prospects are reached via phone, mails, social channels etc., chances become high for them to make a purchase a product they previously failed to complete.

Please check out the infographics below for some cool Big Data Impacts on Sales.

Create a Paperless Office: Reduce Paper Use and Increase Productivity

Ask yourself — why has the concept of the paperless office received so much fanbase? For some, it brings the promise of helping to save the environment by killing fewer trees. I live in a city where plastic bags are banned in grocery stores, so I fully embrace the environmental benefits, but they really aren’t the primary driver behind the paperless office. Rather, it’s because organizations are constantly facing pressure to improve efficiencies, optimize business processes, and reduce costs.

When many organizations first began to transition from paper to electronic documents in the 1980’s, there was an initial reduction in the amount of physical paper used, but the truth is that we use more paper today than during the days of the Pet Rock. Consider these statistics:


  • - Each day, one billion photocopies are made (Source: Forrester Research)
  • - The annual growth rate for the amount of paper produced by the average company is 25%. (Source: Gartner)

We finally have the technology to create a paperless office - at this point it's a matter of embracing the new technology and providing training and encouragement for new business practices. This will save money and time, improve the security of documents and increase customer satisfaction.

DigiDocs - Go Paperless Office
As Businesses are evolving, the demand for document management solutions accelerates, developing from the need for more accessibility to information. Enterprises capable of delivering cost and time effective solutions thereby will emerge as the survivors of the race. DigiDocs based on the concept of EARTH- Eco-friendly Application of Resources and Technology for Humans, facilitates the entire replacement of traditional paper documents and files in offices.

Retrieving information and data is one of the most imperative parts of any process operation. This involves facets such as time, accuracy as well as integrity of records and information, affecting the whole process in terms of resource, labour and money. DigiDocs is built on Google’s Tesseract technology, which possesses superior OCR tool and image detection capabilities .With its Linux core and PHP front end, DigiDocs has no perimeter in its scalability and customization. These features synergize effectiveness and efficiency of supporting services across organizations, thereby providing extensive tools and techniques for data retrieval too.

Speaking about the evolution of the concept, Pratik Jhaveri, CEO- Ksmart group said, "Back in 2003-2004, the US government came out with a law for all the hospitals and medical entities to keep only electronic medical records for their patients. With this there was a demand for digitization for storage of documents. Looking at this demand we developed the software that could store any medical paperwork and retrieve them according to the doctor or the patient while decreasing the human intervention significantly during the scanning or the entry process. Hence, DigiDocs evolved.”

Key features-DigiDocs:

  • Saves Money: With an unlimited OCR tool, the need to pay per page is now redundant.
  • Saves Time: The exclusive auto-categorization will replace the manual effort of sorting the documents, thereby saving time considerably.
  • Saves Space: Reclaim the space used to store physical documents.
  • Multiple Document Support: Manage all types and formats of documents
  • Easy Access: Access documents from any machine on the LAN or from anywhere in the world via the internet and Smart Phones
  • User Friendly: Single mechanism to manage both, electronic and paper documents
  • Security: With Features like Access Control, Version Control, Print Control, documents are always safe and remain confidential and cannot be tampered
  • Advanced Search Capability: Comprehensive search capabilities, including quick search, advanced search and full text search with mouse over thumbnail allows easy identification of documents
  • Multi User Support: Multi-user capabilities enable many users on network to access, store and share documents for faster turnaround and help increase productivity

“With the launch of DigiDocs, we look forward to redefine the functioning of end to end processes in organizations. Further customization that we offer along with our solution to match client requirements could possibly bring about transformation in transactional processing, thereby enhancing overall scalability and efficiency in organizations”, added Monika Jhaveri, CMO, KSmart Group.

It provides SMEs with a quicker, easier and more comprehensive platform to manage B2B transactions, B2B communication, and AR & AP management.

According to a study, Indian companies deal with approximately 11 billion invoices in a year. The receiving, approval, and reconciliation processes creates a paper trail of invoices that are passed from one department to the other for approvals and clearances. Owing to the massive number of invoices and manual processes, businesses constantly face issues with lost bills, double payments, missing credits, miscalculations of overall expenditure, storage of thousands of invoices and the uncertainty of whether an invoice has been paid or not.

SpiderG App is a one stop solution for businesses to electronically transact and communicate with their vendors/suppliers, get information about receivables, payables, and other business activities within the organization, while seamlessly integrating with the existing ERP or accounting software. Users can share all transaction data with their owners, general managers, accountants, purchase and finance teams, ensuring clean reconciliation of all transactions. E-Transactions, Doc-Chat, Cash-Cal, Activity stream, Expense Recorder, Dashboard are the key features of the app that a user can access.

“Most companies in India are hassled with processing paper invoices that led us to develop SpiderG, an app to simplify invoicing for SMEs. As mobile devices become more and more integral in our users’ everyday lives, our app enables them to exchange invoices, purchase orders and other documents with vendors and relevant stakeholders. Our aim is to provide SMEs with a seamless network to help them in improving cash visibility and management. Our product is unique and user friendly, integrating the technology used with existing systems like Tally & SAP,” says Prakash Nair, COO and Co-Founder, SpiderG.

The idea of SpiderG, an e-invoicing technology provider for SMEs was born in early 2015, out of the need to solve problems of Indian SMEs related to their invoicing. This startup was founded by a team of 3 youngsters – Ashwani Rathore, Prakash Nair and Harshal Ingale with the common aim of bringing about a change in the way big or small organizations conduct business with each other.

Gladiris Technologies owns SpiderG which was started in December 2013, to cater to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software needs of small & medium enterprises. SpiderG is a SaaS product which provides real-time actionable insights to users about their business, and their transactions with buyers and suppliers.
