A look into GoFrugal’s consumer electronics/white goods customers, who adapted cloud technology very early, may help you to understand how this has created massive impact in this business. I am taking up three different size( small, medium and large) of customers to justify my point here.
- Achme Communication a small retail chain operating 4 stores within a state. Earlier used a on-premise software in which they were not able to interconnect and manage inventory. They chose GoFrugal’s cloud solution for centralized control and enjoying the fruits within a year with sterling rise in its operating profit by 40%.
- Ample technologies & Unicorn are apple’s India distributors. Both are medium size retail chains with national presence. Adaptation of cloud technology empowered them to manage their serialized inventory based logistics efficiently in real time across multiple outlets. Automation happened just fraction cost comparing to a costly ERP solution.

The solutions capability to integrate easily with their ERP enabled them to track & supply inventory to hundreds of their store online and in real time.
