Background

Gem Creations is one of the reputed Jewellery Manufacturing Company in Thailand. Today, it is one of the largest wholesalers of jewellery with a network of dealers and branches/sales offices worldwide. Gem Creations did not have a robust IT system in place to support its business growth. Gem Creation worked on legacy systems to handle Purchases, Sales, Materials, Finance, Deposits, Payroll and TDS. All these systems were independently installed. Since the existing systems were not integrated, data consolidation was a major challenge. The legacy systems were insulated from the changes demanded by the growing business because every change needed to be incorporated in all the applications. Moreover, the IT team of the customer had high turnover. This combination of a legacy system, lack of data & systems integration with ever-changing IT team posed significant support and maintenance challenges to Gem Creations.
