Executive Summary

Sarthak Credit Co-operative Society, Godhni approached Ocean Software Technologies with a critical mandate: migrate four years of accumulated member, loan, deposit, and transaction data from their legacy desktop software into Ocean I-Bank 4.0 — with zero data loss, zero downtime, and within a hard deadline of just 5 calendar days.

Simultaneously, the society needed a dedicated Agent Collection Mobile App for field agents conducting daily and recurring deposit (RD) collections at member doorsteps. Ocean Software Technologies delivered both deliverables on time, achieving 100% data transfer accuracy and a fully operational system from Day 5.
