About

Ratnaafin's approach relied heavily on agreements and paper-based processes, making it difficult to track and manage operations. Additionally, its B2B focus presented challenges in terms of reaching and engaging with the end consumers.

Main Triggers - [Problems]

Ratnaafin’s outdated processes and B2B focus led to a lack of user-friendly digital solutions for busy customers, hindering engagement and growth potential.
