Client Mission 

VRDO's mission is to empower SHGs by securing loans from SBI and managing the repayment process. They aim to support SHGs in achieving financial independence and ensure timely recoveries for sustainable operations. 

Product Idea and Challenges Faced by Clients 

Before implementing the SHG management software, VRDO struggled with

• Manual Data Management: While functional, the current Excel-based SHG data management system has led to inaccuracies in member assignments and loan records. This has resulted in complex and error-prone role transitions. The need for a more accurate system is evident, as it could prevent such discrepancies and streamline operations. 

• Financial Irregularities: The lack of transparency in our operations has allowed for fraudulent loan applications and employee misuse of recovery funds. These instances have significantly disrupted our financial management, highlighting the urgent need for improved transparency and financial oversight. 

• Inefficient Loan Management: The current manual loan processing system is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. This increases the risk of rejections due to the labor-intensive and mistake-prone proposal creation process. A more streamlined and error-free system is needed to improve our loan management efficiency. 

• Complex Operations: Without integration, managing salaries, tasks, and communications was inefficient, with bottlenecks in document analytics and reliance on WhatsApp for coordination. 

• Complex Loan Recovery Management: Tracking loan payments over extended periods via Excel took a lot of work, leading to inaccuracies and difficulties in managing long-term recoveries. 

• Employee Misappropriation: Employees misused recovery funds meant for the bank, causing financial losses and further complicating recovery management. 

• Inconsistent Data Updates: Manual Excel updates were often delayed and inaccurate, impacting the reliability and timeliness of essential information. 

• Lack of Real-Time Tracking: The absence of a centralized system could have helped with the real-time tracking of loans, repayments, and financial transactions, delaying decision-making. 

• Limited Accountability: A robust system made monitoring user performance and ensuring operational efficiency easier, leading to more accountability.
