EXAMPLE 1

ABC is a well-known company in the field of civil construction, with over 5 decades of experience and revenues over INR 600 crores. The company has had many successful residential and commercial projects in India and overseas.
The involvement was primarily to strengthen the finance and internal controls systems, monitor cash flows and budgets across the various multiple project sites in India. The red flags were pointed out at the areas of concern such as deviations from budgets during project payments, certification delays, accounting controls, improve collection and site level stock.
The team took over the entire responsibility of the ‘Cost Control’ function. Continuous involvement was ensured with the team members of site-level costing, projects, accounting and stores with changes and amendments recommended. Our involvement led to lower billing days, reduction of billing delays by 50% and timely submission of MIS to the management, board and investors.

EXAMPLE 2

XYZ is a privately funded mid-sized real estate company in Mumbai, who had developed 10L sqft of residential and commercial space in the city.
The involvement was in two phases. The first phase was to understand the business processes of the Company to recommend a practical ERP package and any improvements that would be required for implementation. This also required an in-depth understanding of the financial structure to put forward strategies to move from personal relationship approach to a more professional approach to raise funds from institutional sources.
Phase 2 involved initiating operational and financial controls, streamlining MIS, assist with pricing decisions and analyse fund raising alternatives such as private equity and lease rent discounting.

Phase 1 – Approach
Phase 1 involved continuous involvement with the department heads who did not have any prior experience of working with professionals. Comprehensive SOP documents were prepared for broker appointment, land acquisition, project evaluation, contracting and sub-contracting, financing and accounting and reporting controls. The SOP’s were the base for the ERP implementation partner to configure Microsoft Dynamix at XYZ.
On the fund-raising aspect, the banking partners were introduced to the Company and were actively involved in fund and non-fund based limits negotiations, which helped XYZ reduce its dependence on private sources of lending.

Phase 2 – Approach
The involvement was focused on enabling XYZ Company to take hold/sell decisions relating to stock, timing and pricing decisions of the sale. Various options were evaluated with the banking partners to reduce the overall cost of funding. The MIS reporting enabled the XYZ team to control their inquiry to sales conversion, competitor pricing and sales inquiry pipeline and make timely requirements.

Client Benefit
XYZ were successfully able to reduce dependence on private funding from 100% to 63% on a large funded basis. They noticed better margins by about 2% over the procurement processes and reduction in time to finalize commercial evaluation of new land bank acquisition process from 42 days to 23 days.

XYZ Company’s lease rent discounting solution reduced weighted cost of funding from 17.5% to 13.8%, with sale pipeline reports being generated on a daily basis than just the weekend.
