A global industrial equipment manufacturer automates its GST return filing processes using mavenTax

About Client

The client is a global industrial equipment manufacturer that caters to the Instrumentation, Oil & Gas, Electrical Power Generation & Distribution sectors. In India, they have a presence across 10+ states.

Business Scenario

Before partnering with Maventic, the client relied on manual processes to file their GST returns across all the Indian states where it had a presence. These involved utilizing an offline tool provided by the GSTN (Goods and Services Tax Network), uploading it onto the GST (Goods and Services Tax) portal, and filing 30+ returns in a financial year.
 

Challenges

Manual processes involved in filing a large number of GST returns in a financial year resulted in

  • Significant delays which led to late fees payments
  • Chances of manual error
  • High-risk scenarios where the Government could impose hefty fines in case of any errors
     

Solution

The client decided that the best course of action was to automate the way they were filing their GST returns. After evaluating a few SAP GST partners, they selected Maventic’s product, mavenTax, for this purpose. 

With the help of mavenTax, the client could pull data from its SAP FI and SAP SD modules through an automatic schedule mechanism, view a summarized version of this information at both an invoice and an item level and file their GST returns with a single click.

During this partnership, Maventic also identified that the client faced challenges, due to source data errors, on the day GST returns had to be filed. Maventic customized mavenTax to perform modifications directly on the platform by sidestepping SAP. This customization eliminated challenges related to editing source-level data, which was a much more tedious process.

Benefits

With mavenTax, the client can now avail of the following benefits:

  • Leverage existing SAP configurations as mavenTax is built within SAP
  • Automate all the GST return filing processes and eliminate human errors
  • Provide easy reconciliations to avail ITC
  • View multiple reports to get actionable insights
  • Ensure data confidentiality as the data pulled by mavenTax is stored on client-specified servers.
