Putting out fires, with Paradigm.
The heart of South African braais since 1978, Charka's demand grew like wildfire — and their old accounting system couldn't keep up. With Paradigm, they built a capturing and reporting system unique to Charka: accurate, transparent, and one they manage themselves.
The heart of the braai since 1978.
Charka (Pty) Ltd manufactures and distributes charcoal products, briquettes and firelighters — a part of countless South African braais since 1978. As demand grew like wildfire, so did the pressure on the business behind it.
Smoke and mirrors, no more.
By 2016, management urgently needed accurate, timeous financial reports. Their old accounting system was a struggle — they wanted something sound, tested, user-friendly and compliant. Their auditors introduced them to Lara, a Paradigm consultant.
A system built around Charka.
Lara listened and guided them to the right solution — one that works for management and the day-to-day team.
