Recovering Financial Records After an ERP Failure

A clear-eyed look at where they stood.
A multi-outlet retail chain in Chennai lost access to a large part of its accounting data after an ERP migration failed mid-way, leaving corrupted ledgers and gaps across several months. With statutory filing and audit deadlines approaching, the company had no reliable books to work from.
CapEasy reconstructed the affected periods from external and transactional sources — bank feeds, GST returns, POS and vendor data — rebuilding the ledgers and reconciling them against control totals. We validated the recovered data, closed the gaps, and stabilised the accounting process on a reliable footing before the deadlines.
The outcome
The company recovered a complete, reconciled set of records in time to meet its filing and audit obligations. The reconstruction also surfaced process weaknesses, which were addressed to reduce the risk of future data loss.
