The Challenge

With the introduction of the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) taxation system, the Indian Government mandated businesses to include critical GST information in their invoices, order confirmations, and purchase orders by December 31, 2017. This information included suppliers' and buyers' names, addresses, GST identification numbers, unique invoice numbers, dates, description of goods, HSN codes, quantity, unit price, total taxable value, tax breakup, and place of supply.

The client's standard Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) package did not have the facility to customize the documents as per the new GST regulations. To accommodate this new customized documentation functionality, they needed to make significant changes and customize the ERP system within the deadline to avoid the penalties levied by the Indian Government.

The Solution

The Programmers.io team collected the GST information from the client and set the new document's format by implementing the data as per the government's directions.

The Solution

Document Customization

Each member of the team was assigned a set of documents to be customized, corrected, and managed to meet the requirements within the timeline.

The Solution

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.

Project Manager

Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.

Information Technology Supervisor

I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
