Fit-gap analysis compares each requirement with what Zeyto does today. The aim is an honest answer for every line, so the client knows what they get, what they must change, and what they cannot have yet.
| Class | Meaning | Effort and risk |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Works as delivered | None beyond training |
| Configuration | A setting, master, template or rule that a consultant sets | Hours or days; low risk |
| Process change | The client adapts how they work to the standard | Change management effort |
| Workaround | Handled manually or outside the system, with a named owner | Ongoing cost; record it |
| Custom request | Needs a change to the product; raise it with Zeyto | Not available now; promise no date |
A worked fit-gap register for Zeyto
| Requirement | Class | How Zeyto meets it |
|---|---|---|
| Invoices above AED 50,000 need manager approval | Configuration | Settings, Approval Rules: rule on SI, condition Document total more than 50,000, role approver |
| Block or warn when a customer exceeds the credit limit | Configuration | Settings, Credit Control |
| Merge several sales orders into one delivery note | Configuration | Settings, Document Workflow, Chain tab, Rules, Merge several documents set to Yes |
| Extra field on the item form, such as country of origin | Configuration | Settings, Form Designer, add a field of your own |
| Salesmen sell offline and sync later | Standard | Field Sales |
| Send e-invoices directly to the tax authority | Gap | Zeyto builds draft e-invoice files and a queue but has no live connector to an Accredited Service Provider. Treat as a risk and agree the plan with the client's accountant |
| Screens in Hindi, Urdu or Malayalam | Gap, then configuration | Arabic has built-in translations; the others have none, so wording must be added in Settings, Translations |
| Migrate eight years of history from another system | Gap | The migration tool reads Emeron only; for other systems use the Import Center and opening balances |
Notice the pattern. Most requirements are configuration. A few are real gaps, and the consultant's value is saying so early.
Rules for an honest fit-gap
- Test it in Zeyto before you call it standard. Memory is not evidence.
- A gap is not a failure. Each gap needs a decision: accept a workaround, change the process, raise a request, or drop the requirement.
- Never promise a delivery date for a custom request. Say what you will ask for and when you will report back.
- Check tax and compliance requirements with the client's accountant, for the country concerned.
Watch outZeyto prepares VAT figures and draft e-invoice files. It does not file the VAT return or transmit invoices to the tax authority. Make sure the client's accountant knows this at blueprint time, not at go-live.
A gap becomes a decisionThe client wants direct e-invoice submission. The consultant records: Gap, risk high, owner the accountant. Options: use an external provider for transmission, or wait. Decision: the accountant will choose a provider before go-live and the blueprint lists it as an external dependency.
