Overview:

Guru and Jana, an established accounting firm serving multiple clients across various industries, manages complex payment operations for organizations with hundreds of vendors and weekly payout cycles. What started as a small 25-40 person operation grew into a sophisticated financial services provider, but their payment processes remained stuck in the analog age.

The firm's payment workflow was a labyrinth of paper vouchers, manual signatures, and scattered documentation. With bills arriving through multiple channels - WhatsApp, paperwork, emails, revised emails for partial payments - the team spent countless hours each week just trying to maintain basic payment operations.

The Challenge:

Paper-Based Voucher System

Bills arrived in physical files with payment voucher slips requiring three separate signatures before reaching final approval. The approval chain lacked transparency, with no visibility into authorization timing or status.

Disconnected Documentation Trail

After signing with the signature red pen, vouchers disappeared into the Tally system with no real-time tracking. Critical documents ended up scattered across storage areas, creating audit nightmares when accountants requested supporting documentation.

Check-Based Payment Nightmares

Physical check writing, courier services, signature verification issues, and credibility concerns with vendors created a cycle of delays and relationship strain that consumed disproportionate management attention.

Multi-Channel Communication Chaos

With 700+ vendors sending bills via WhatsApp, emails, and revised communications for partial or full payments, the team faced constant confusion about which payment instructions were current and accurate.

"Business was going on like this and I'll tell you we used to spend more than... every day even in a small organization those days we were only 25 people 40 people every day 20 30 minutes on this... My God what a mess to make a simple payment."
- Guru Prasad M., Founder of Guru and Jana.

Results That Matter: Leadership Testimonials

"I recently made a payment... When I saw the screen screen looks sexy... Trust me it looks sexy... Then I want to see a bill I just go click on a place I see the bill I want to see the authorization it's on the left side. Last week I did 400 payments in a matter of three and a half minutes... Even during the digital age last year I would have spent maybe one hour to make that 400 payments. But I just clicked and it moved."
- Guru Prasad M., Founder of Guru and Jana.

"It just happens very seamlessly. The best part is that the founders don’t believe in just selling a tool or service and walking away. They involve with the partner or customer, understand where things can be improvised- a very good quality needed from the founders to understand the requirements."
