Guitarstore Transforms Walk-In Sales Management with Zoho and Zakya Integration

Introduction

Guitarstore.ae, a prominent eCommerce business in the UAE trading sector, specializes in selling musical instruments and accessories. With a growing customer base and a significant volume of in-store purchases, the company faced increasing difficulty managing walk-in sales and maintaining accurate records. Seeking a digital transformation, Guitarstore.ae turned to Samsoft for a robust solution that would optimize sales, inventory, and accounting workflows.
