Sajani Cups and Cones, a family-run business with deep roots, got a fresh start thanks to experienced business owner Sue Boor. Sue saw the business’s potential but knew its operations needed a boost. That’s when she turned to Fishbowl, a trusted inventory management solution, to simplify stock management and streamline the workflow.
Challenge
When Sue took over Sajani Cups and Cones, she inherited a business struggling with disorganization and operational challenges. The lack of an effective inventory system led to frequent stockouts, dissatisfied customers, and wasted time. With thousands of product line items and a growing demand for precision in stock management, the company faced significant hurdles:
- Poor inventory tracking and stockouts damaging customer trust.
- Inefficient purchasing processes leading to wasted time and resources.
- Limited visibility into costs, especially for imported goods, resulting in inaccurate pricing.
Solution
Drawing on her previous positive experience with Fishbowl at another business, Sue implemented Fishbowl at Sajani Cups and Cones to address these challenges. The software enabled the team to take control of their inventory, streamline operations, and rebuild customer trust. Key improvements included:
- Real-time visibility into inventory for both staff and customers.
- Automated processes that saved two to three staff hours daily.
- Accurate tracking of imported goods, eliminating guesswork on exchange rates and pricing.
