    Bista Is Best!

    Bista Solutions is a one-stop-shop for all enterprise software applications. Sure, a lot of companies make this claim, but few actually live up to their implied level of greatness. However, since its inception, Bista Solutions has continued to be one of the leaders in this realm, and they show no signs of slowing down.

    Their experienced team is expertly trained to help customers identify gaps in their businesses and achieve automation with relevant solutions. Their skilled team offers an in-depth understanding of businesses, and how technology can enhance the overall efficiency of a company's internal processes.

    Over the years, Bista Solutions has developed a methodology based on transparency and accountability. First, they conduct an in-depth business analysis to understand the pain points and gaps in their client’s existing business processes and technologies.

    Based on that analysis, they prepare a BRD (Business Requirements Document), which captures the situation ‘as is’ and proposes an effective transformation. The BRD includes a project plan with resources, as well as the budget for the proposed plan. 

    For software development, Bista follows a hybrid of Agile and Waterfall methodologies. Bista's customers work with their subject-matter experts in North America and benefit from their low-cost development center in India for coding and testing. 

    Bista’s client base is impressively large, to say the least. Their customers include companies with revenues in the tens of millions to public-limited companies with revenues in the billions. These companies trust and enjoy working with Bista because they have a proven track record of helping clients work through common issues with ease and efficiency.

    Companies often contact Bista experts when they encounter the following, all-too-common issues:

    - Most of their processes are manual and require automation.
    - They have a legacy software system that is quickly approaching obsolescence. 
    - They have outgrown the standard accounting package they used early on.
    - They have too many software systems and need to consolidate.
    - They find their existing system too expensive and want something more affordable.
    - They need to be compliant with industry regulations.

    Pain Point Relievers

    With clients ranging across all industries, Bista recognized that legacy systems were a common pain point felt by most companies. The key difficulty with these legacy systems was a lack of visibility and access to all data from a single source.  In other words, an all-in-one solution was necessary to create a more streamlined, automated, easy-to-navigate system.

    One company that needed help from Bista was TIE Industrial, a top industrial manufacturing company for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Machines and Robotics. They also do work in the auto parts and automation repair industry. Though they are respected and successful in their line of work, TIE Industrial sought out Bista Solutions to help them deal with a number of pain points in their business model.

    First off, they had trouble working with their non-integrated systems. Throughout TIE Industrial, there were numerous non-integrated systems found in different locations across North America. These systems ran the spectrum of software, too. From QuickBooks and Salesforce to internally-built software, these systems never integrated with one another, which heavily restrained them from achieving their goal of organizational transparency.

    They were also using a DOS-based legacy system that relied on manual paper-based tasks for work order fulfillment. This system was extremely inefficient and hard to maintain. Ultimately, it led to cumbersome information tracking, which cost their company valuable time and money.

    Also, due to these various, non-integrated systems being used across TIE’s various locations, it became almost impossible for teams to streamline and share information amongst each other. This lapse in integration also made it time-consuming and difficult for the team at TIE to quickly fetch product or customer-related information. In short, they needed a better system, and they needed it quickly. Luckily, Bista was there to help!

     

    Implementation Solutions

    Regardless of the client’s industry, Bista is always the driving force behind a strategic implementation process that ultimately saves these companies from succumbing to inefficiency. With their trained subject-matter experts, Bista uses their Agile and Waterfall methodologies to drive necessary changes with the companies they work with.

    Typically, Bista customizes and implements Odoo as a consistent system across various departments and locations. They also developed several Odoo modules that stitch together beloved features, such as warehouse management, business intelligence, invoices, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). 

    Bista’s core competency is its deep understanding of industry-specific functionalities for niche industries. Their developers eliminated the dependencies on legacy systems, and fine-tuned business processes to achieve new levels of efficiency! Thanks to the relentless hard work and efforts of their skilled team, Bista has implemented a flexible system that supports new initiatives and can adapt to new business processes as their client’s companies continue to grow. 

    The same could be said for how Bista handled TIE Industries, and their collection of common business model problems. For TIE, the team at Bista customized and implemented Odoo as a consistent system for all their needs across various locations. They also stitched together all their operations, communications, and software into Odoo’s amazingly user-friendly, fully-integrated database of business solutions.

    And, since Salesforce was an integral part of their sales and customer management, Bista integrated Odoo with Salesforce, which was incredibly easy, thanks to Odoo’s incomparable compatibility features. This single move helped TIE strengthen their sales cycles, as well as the gathering of vital customer information. Bista’s team also integrated Odoo with QuickBooks to streamline TIE's finances in new, innovative ways.

    With newly applied automated product information and enhanced search views, Bista eliminated TIE’s manual tasks, and made it easier to fetch product information. It truly was a game-changer! But that's not all. Bista also created custom dashboards, reporting tools, and communication channels for TIE’s teams in various locations, which enabled them to increase their transparency exponentially.

     

    TIE Is Now In The Lead!

    Since Bista Solutions successfully implemented Odoo’s ERP into TIE Industrial’s business model, things have never been easier for the manufacturing company. Because they were able to move away from that archaic DOS-based system, TIE is now able to enjoy a more modern, scalable solution, thanks to Odoo. This implementation was able to provide similar standardized processes for all of their locations, verticals, and teams. 

    Organizationally, TIE Industrial wanted to build a consolidated system to integrate all their shared service offerings and load-balance teams. Bista’s implementation of Odoo was able to fulfill those needs, and provide them with one, single platform for all other current and future needs of this nature. It’s incredible

    On top of all that, the team at TIE Industrial was able to gain efficiencies and eradicate manual (and physical) processes for work order management systems because of this successful Odoo implementation. By eliminating manual and legacy work-order systems, TIE was able to save a ton of time that they had invested in gathering information for products. Their teams are now informed and well-equipped with easy searches and a strong automated knowledge base.
