Transforming the Existing Paper-Based Systems to Automated Systems
Launched in 2016, PAZO was incepted by three passionate and talented individuals who were working as engineers in different corporations: Zoeb Itarsiwala (CEO, PAZO), Sharjeel Ahmed (CTO, PAZO), and Hasan Ali Kanba (CMO, PAZO). During that period, the Co-founder trio observed that front-end and back-end teams were engaged in gruesome paper-based operations. These paper-based operations resulted in various problems such as time-consumption, mismanagement of editing and communication, high risk of human error, and demands for physical storage spaces.
Taking these glitches as an opportunity, the PAZO Co-founders began developing an NFC based solution accompanied by a mobile application to create digital reports. The first version of the product built by them was for a leading mall in Bengaluru which gave birth to the company. Since then, PAZO has delivered its operational excellence software solution to numerous departments who manage the paper-based processes such as housekeeping, maintenance, inventory to the front-line operations of sales, marketing, etc. Currently, PAZO is being used at more than 40 plus cities with renowned multinational clientele across many countries and catering its software solution across various industry verticals such as Retail Stores, Facility Management, Shopping Mall Maintenance, Housekeeping Management, and Security Guard Management.
