Overview

The IT department of BEES is committed to using technology to enhance socio-economic development. In 2012, it was moved the micro-finance program from a paper-based system to an automated, paperless process. Now, a team of eight engineers, guided by a skilled Program Manager, drives ongoing digitization efforts at BEES.

Since December 2020, BEES has been utilizing its self-developed software, “Micro Credit Controller (MCC).” This software includes modules for Microfinance, HR, Payroll, Inventory, Budget Control, Fixed Assets, Accounts, Document Archiving, and Reporting. The Microfinance module includes a robust set of features such as budget control, customer and samity mapping, samity office audits, compliance, and development programs. The budget control feature enables detailed budget planning, expenditure tracking, and real-time financial performance analysis.

The HR module manages employee life cycle, including regularization, transfers, promotions, and leave, with automated documentation and notifications. The payroll module handles salary calculations, deductions, and benefits, while the Fixed Asset module tracks assets, depreciation, and disposal, ensuring accurate records and efficient management. The Accounts module manages financial transactions, ensuring accurate records and reconciliations. The Reports module provides insights through customized financial and operational reports, supporting both corporate users and field operations. Additionally, it aids audit and monitoring teams in ensuring compliance and policy adherence.
