For manufacturers in India, owner-run to multi-plant
A business that doesn’t run on a few people’s memory.
When every rate, dispatch date and payment reminder waits on one person, the business moves at that person’s pace. We set up the fix on tools you already run.
A day in the business
Does your day look like this?
“Who is on the floor today?”
“Did anyone reply to the dealer who asked for a rate yesterday?”
“Which orders are ready to dispatch, and which are waiting on something?”
“Whose payment was due last week? I will call.”
“I need to know where we stand. I will ask three people.”
“I will sit with the numbers this weekend.”
If a few of these sound like your day, the business is running on you. That is the first thing to fix.
Before and after
What each system is built to do. These are aims. We have no measured results to show yet.
Where to start
Pick your biggest problem. Fix that first.
Enquiries go cold
Payments run late
Nobody can say where we stand
Every new dealer starts from scratch
The same questions, every day
Pocket Desk, set up for you, covers tile 1. For the other four, an assessment finds which is worth fixing first.
How it works
On a free conversation, one real enquiry or order is followed through your business by hand.
The system goes on what you already run, such as Google Sheets, WhatsApp and Tally if you use them. In your own accounts.
Your team gets the rules in writing and runs it from then on. Your team owns it.
Your data stays on your own systems. We build on the tools you already use. Nothing is copied into a database we hold.
Two ways to start
Two ways to start.
Pick the one that fits the size of the business.
Pocket Desk, set up for you
Operations assessment, then a partnership if it earns one
- Assessment: a fixed fee, agreed before it starts, 15 working days. Partnership: priced after the assessment, scoped to what it finds.
- Nothing is built in the assessment. No tool recommendations. No ongoing access.
- You keep the report and a one-page decision document, and can take them to anyone.
- A 12-month operating partnership is scoped after, only if you want it.
Common questions
It depends on the size. For an owner-run business: one list for every enquiry, each with an owner and a next step, built on your own accounts. For a larger group: a three-week assessment finds the most expensive bottleneck first. Anything built comes after, scoped to what it finds.
Both, by size. Pocket Desk is a standard product, set up for you in your own accounts. The assessment and partnership are a service. In neither case do you get a custom build that only we can fix.
No. Accounting, GST, quotes, invoices and stock stay in the tool you use. Pocket Desk does not do them. It brings in your list once. It does not link live to Tally.
On your own systems. We are not a shared platform. We build on the tools you already use, so nothing is copied into a database we hold.
It starts with a free conversation. The price is set out in writing after it, before anything is agreed. A partnership is priced after.
