Every year, the two-wheeler manufacturer Hero performs hundreds of audits to keep tabs on its dealers. It is a complex process which needs lots of manual work and operational cost. They were looking to digitize the whole Audit process of the supply chain and manufacturing processes. The team therefore started to look for a technology partner for app development. With years of diverse experience in the mobile app development domain, OrangeMantra was a good fit.
It was clear to the Hero that the existing audit process required digital optimization. Not only did the dealer audits involve a great deal of work and operational cost, but the manual data sharing process also made them error prone. They wanted to get an app to simplify dealer stock management, sales and purchase work from the backend systems. As there was not always a strong internet connectivity present in the dealer area, the solution also had to responsive with low connectivity.
Connectivity Issues: One of the key challenges was the inconsistent internet connectivity in dealer areas. The solution needed to be responsive even in low-connectivity environments.
Data Quality: The goal was to improve data quality by automating the audit processes. Achieving this required precise implementation of automation throughout the digitization.
OrangeMantra deployed its mobile development experts to implement an app for Hero which was designed precisely to the requirements defined. The Audit App is based on an in-depth analysis of existing audit methods and uses intuitive touchscreen tablets to simplify data entry. It even has a handwriting recognition function to study the auditors’ notes. The auditing process is fully integrated into Hero’s business systems, thus ensuring the digitization of the whole process. The agile methods used throughout the app development enabled the program to be directly aligned with client requirements.
Requirement Analysis: OrangeMantra initiated the project by conducting a comprehensive analysis of Hero MotoCorp’s existing audit processes. Understanding the audit complexities, the team identified key areas for improvement.
App Design and Development: OrangeMantra assigned mobile experts to design and develop a hybrid mobile app tailored to client’s specific requirements. The app focused on simplifying data entry through intuitive touchscreen tablets.
Integration with Business Systems: Ensuring seamless and fast integration with Hero MotoCorp’s business systems was an important step. The app’s functionality was designed to be integrated into existing processes, ensuring digitized audit operations.
Agile Methodology: Agile development methodologies were employed throughout the project, allowing iterative development with client requirements. This approach added flexibility, enabling adjustments based on real-time feedback and growing needs.
The mobile application, is already generating fruitful results for the client business operations. It improves the quality of the data by doing automation, while simultaneously helping more audits to be performed in less time. As a result, the solution has improved efficiency by 15%. The data is more efficiently collected and more quickly available to all users.
Improved Efficiency: The digitized audit process has resulted in a 15% improvement in efficiency. More audits can now be performed in less time, thanks to streamlined data entry and automation features.
Enhanced Data Quality: Automation has not only helped efficiency but has also enhanced the quality of audit data. The app ensures accurate and consistent data collection, minimizing errors associated with manual processes.
Real-time Accessibility: The data collected during audits is now more efficiently available to all users in real-time. This has facilitated quicker decision-making processes and improved overall operational agility.
