Executive Summary:

Airflow Control, an HVAC equipment distribution company in India, needed an accounting solution that could handle the unique requirements of the HVAC industry. Standard accounting features were insufficient for managing equipment serial numbers, warranty tracking, AMC contracts, and project-based billing. Learnall Solutions implemented Zoho Books with extensive customizations and automations tailored specifically for HVAC distribution operations, resulting in a fully customized solution aligned with their business processes.

​

The Challenge:

Airflow Control faced several industry-specific challenges that standard accounting software could not address:
• No provision for serial number tracking of HVAC equipment
• Inability to manage warranty periods and service contracts
• Lack of AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) billing automation
• Complex project-based billing for installation and commissioning
• Difficulty tracking equipment specifications (tonnage, BTU, model variants)
• No integration between sales, installation, and service workflows
• Manual follow-ups for warranty expiry and AMC renewals
• Spare parts inventory management linked to equipment models

​

• Equipment-wise service history tracking
