Zoho One transformed the way Caple runs its day-to-day operations and reduced human intervention in processes.

The Company

Caple Industrial Solutions started in 1974 as a family-owned business, and is now operated by the third generation of the family. The business offers a comprehensive range of products and services designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. Their offerings include expert consultancy services, a broad selection of industrial supplies, and advanced software solutions to enhance operational efficiency. They provide high-quality power tools, traditional and automated machinery, and a wide array of industrial equipment, too.

Caple has multiple demo centers across major cities in India like Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Pune, alongside a retail outlet in Mumbai. Caple ensures they maintain a close proximity to their customers for the purposes of demonstrations, education, sales, as well as spare-part needs and services. The company is supported by specialized product managers who are dedicated to addressing customer needs at every level. As a company that believes in transparency and trust, it adheres to a fair pricing policy, thus avoiding back and forth discussions to streamline processes and foster long-standing partnerships.

The Challenge

As Caple's business grew over the years, so did their people. With more people came more processes, and more processes led to a complicated and wide-spread backend, leading to numerous challenges. Caple's diverse portfolio posed a higher risk of complicated implementations for the business to run smoothly.

Lack of integration: The primary challenge that Caple struggled with was integrating their various software applications into a unified platform. This lack of integration led to fragmented data and operational inefficiencies, as their existing systems lacked several essential modules needed for seamless operation.

Online presence: Caple lacked a robust online presence, which hindered their ability to manage their customer database effectively and maintain consistent pricing information across platforms.It also became increasingly difficult for them to keep their prospects informed of their latest portfolio.

GST filing: Filing GST was particularly challenging due to multiple branches and the complexity of integrated financial data from various platforms, leading to inaccuracies and delays.

Inventory management: Manual processes were time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to discrepancies in stock levels. The lack of real-time visibility and inefficient order management affected business operations. Inadequate warehouse organization and negligent reporting further hampered efficiency.

Expense and attendance management: With employees dispersed across the country, managing expense reports and attendance was time consuming and inefficient. Moreover, staff management often involved manual and physical processes.

Pricing inconsistency: Tracking and updating prices offered to customers proved difficult, leading to inconsistencies and potential customer dissatisfaction.

Overall, these challenges hampered Caple's operational efficiency and highlighted the need for a more integrated and comprehensive solution.

Caple began taking action by implementing SAP HANA, but soon encountered several significant challenges. With multiple branches spread out across India and having a diversified product portfolio, the inability to integrate all software into a unified platform posed a major issue. Their current system was falling short of their expectations and lacked the ability to run operations in a customized way they wanted.

After thoroughly evaluating various options in the market, Caple Industries made the strategic decision to switch to Zoho One for their business needs. Zoho One, with its suite of 45+ integrated applications, emerged as the ultimate solution to streamline their operations and drive significant growth.

"We've found whatever we're looking for and that was available under one single platform, there was no integration needed."

Satyan Thukral, CEO, Caple Industries

Zoho One: The magic potion your business needs

Imagine a futuristic toolbox where AI aids you, workflows can be thoroughly customized, and you can work together in real time. More so, advanced analytics can help you make smart decisions and keep your operations future-ready.

Zoho One, aka "The Operating System for Business," is a comprehensive software platform that brings that futuristic dream closer to reality. It hosts over 45 interconnected apps ready to transform how teams innovate, adapt, and thrive with seamless processes.

In a nutshell, Zoho One is not just a suite of applications but a comprehensive operating system for businesses. It is designed to help businesses achieve operational excellence, reduce costs, and succeed in an increasingly competitive market. By adopting Zoho One, businesses can look forward to enhanced efficiency, improved customer satisfaction, and a solid foundation for long-term success.

The Solution

Caple Industries adopted Zoho One, a comprehensive suite of over 45 integrated applications, to address its operational challenges and improve their business strategies. They had been following Zoho closely for a long period of time and decided to make the change and switch to Zoho One.

Zoho One offers so much that Caple was able to streamline a lot of processes.

To establish a well structured online presence, Caple Industries opted for Zoho Commerce. This platform facilitated comprehensive inventory management, ensuring all SKUs were accurately updated and maintained at the backend. Zoho One's integrated system further unified their existing data across front-end and back-office processes, resulting in consistent and accurate data across all platforms. This was a crucial step for Caple to make well-informed business decisions.

The Zoho Commerce integration paved the way for an effortless information stream to flow between Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory. It ensured price updates made in Zoho Inventory were automatically reflected on their website, eliminating the need for manual updates and reducing the risk of pricing inconsistencies. This helped Caple Industries achieve greater operational efficiency and enhanced accuracy in their online transactions.

In a remarkable demonstration of Zoho Books's efficiency and seamless integration capabilities, Caple Industries encountered a real-life scenario where the platform proved invaluable. Accidentally filing excess GST left Caple unable to reclaim the surplus amount. Given Caple's expansive operations, which have multiple branches, brands, warehouses, and customer segments, the integration between Zoho Books, Zoho Inventory, and Zoho CRM proved instrumental. This integration facilitated the generation of GST numbers with ease and accuracy.

Zoho Inventory emerged as a central hub for Caple, helping them manage their extensive network of warehouses and optimizing stock levels. This solution enabled Caple to maintain efficient inventory control across their diverse operations, ensuring timely fulfillment of customers' orders. The integration of Zoho Books, Zoho Inventory, and Zoho CRM not only resolved immediate challenges but also positioned Caple for sustained growth and operational excellence.

With employees distributed across India, the process of submitting expense reports at Caple Industries was time consuming and inefficient, often involving physical copies. The implementation of Zoho Expense automated this process, allowing employees to simply submit their receipts online through the app. These entries are directly linked to Zoho Books, ensuring a consistent integration. Zoho Expense's integration with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and Zoho Desk has further streamlined their operations.

The implementation of Zoho People at Caple Industries has significantly enhanced the management of employee-related information. Through Zoho People, Caple can accurately track employee locations, attendance records, compensatory leaves, and sick leaves. This employee data is flawlessly integrated with Zoho Payroll, ensuring accurate and timely payroll processing.

"Zoho is one of the best decisions we made, it's a holistic solution to all your business needs."

Neelu Thukral, Expense Auditor, Caple Industries

Benefits and ROI

Holistic approach: Adopting an all-in-one solution like Zoho One significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced complexities across the board.

Customization is key: Tailoring the system to meet specific business needs was crucial for maximizing its benefits and ensuring user adoption.

Continuous improvement: Providing ongoing support and updates adapted to the company's evolving business requirements and helped maintain system effectiveness.

The implementation of Zoho One at Caple Industries has been a transformative journey, addressing critical challenges and unlocking new opportunities for growth. By leveraging an integrated suite of applications, Caple has enhanced its operational efficiency, improved customer relationship management, and achieved significant cost savings. This success story underscores the importance of embracing comprehensive technological solutions to drive business success.
