PT Zahir Internasional

Fadil Fuad Basymeleh, a teknopreneur in the country who made the original Zahir word as a trademark product of innovation as well as the company name. Fadil is the founder of PT. International Zahir accounting software that creates a brand Zahir Accounting.

Zahir is taken from the name of accounting experts from Pakistan who lived in the 16th century and is the inventor of double-entry system of debits credits in accounting systems. This system which later became a reference in modern accounting that we know today. Indeed there are other historical records that the system was invented by an Italian mathematician, Luca Paciolo. But what is clear is the name of Ahmad Zahir was more interesting a teknopreneur from Indonesia to expand its business than the name of Luca Paciolo.

Zahir Accounting Ver. 1.0 was first made in 1996 and in 1997, started to develop version 2.0 and introduced to the market in 1999. Zahir Accounting has been used for more than 2000 companies both small and large companies with 6000's user in Indonesia, and the company recently awarded Teknopreneur Award 2008, an award for a successful company that produces innovation and success also brought innovation to the market so as to create growth good business for these companies.

Fadil one key to success in business is charity and love (mahabbah) in the elderly. His heart was easily moved by the difficulties the employee and those orphans and orphans. He did not hesitate to set aside part of their income to help the education of orphans and others in need, including medical expenses. ''People who are happy to give alms, will eventually returned seven-fold, 10 fold, even up to 700-fold. That is the promise of God. And that God's promises must be kept,''he said.

Fadil also very loving parents, especially her mother. For him, love is like a talisman in the elderly that can not be released. ''Love and devotion to parents can be a source of motivation as well as opening the door for her sustenance.

As an entrepreneur, Fadil also experienced ups and downs. He started his business since his college days at the ITB 1991. Initially he went into business settings and lay out. Until mid 1997, the business grew rapidly. But the economic crisis that hit Indonesia the second half of 1997 has been flung business. However, the crisis was also a turning point in his business.

When it Fadil think, to be able to get credit disbursement, usually a bank or lender requires a well-organized financial statements. From there Fadil fun making the accounting software can help take business decisions in quick time. The software was sold to someone else and in fact preferred. ''I've since switched to business software house. It was his 26 years of age.

According to him, there is no giving up in business terms. Success''was not the outcome, but in the process. Success that's how strongly we bounced back after a fall. Importantly, after the fall we have to get up again and always ask for help to Allah SWT. Our task is to strive and pray as hard power, while coupled with resignation to God

In addition to the uniqueness that they created the accounting software is not intended for accountants or financial experts but to the ranks of management or even the owner of the company so it can be used as a decision-making, I consider one of the key success of this one company's technology is the precision of target market segments . They target the major consumer markets of their products are SMEs (small and medium enterprises) that requires financial management in a neat and easy but have a limited budget.

General picture that appears on SMEs to date is traditionally run business since their financial condition does not allow investing in the use of assistive technology devices. But Zahir was brave against the flow of thought. All they do is create a quality product that can be tailored to the needs of each company so the price can simply appeal to SMEs.

Zahir Accounting is targeting low-income consumers, because if the people of Indonesia are grouped based on the amount of income and spending and then arranged in a pyramid, the pyramid with the lowest number is at most the number of people with low incomes and spending. People who were at the bottom of the pyramid (bottom of the pyramid) is somehow a potential market.

Just look at the success of prepaid cards in Indonesia that provides a nominal recharge pulse until well-known ribuah dollars. Or the phenomenon of his best-selling shampoo and detergent sachets are sold in packs of hundreds of silver here.

Noting the success of the players in the market menengan down, there are some similarities between them. The first is the products they offer to the market is really needed and significantly benefit their customers. The second is the pricing scheme is "friendly". Even though they will be more economical if buying in bulk, but consumers in this class will choose to buy in smaller units even if calculated on the total will be more expensive.

The size of the pyramid base in Indonesia is so huge, much larger than the above. The same thing also happened in other developing countries. Variety kebutuhannnya still very much including technology needs, such as cheap internet, cheap modems, cheap mobile phones, and others. This means space for teknopreneur Indonesia mastered this segment is still very large.

Zahir Accounting, financial accounting is an Indonesian-language program, flexible, well-equipped and high-efficient, which is designed to be appropriate to the needs of small and medium enterprises in Indonesia.Berbasis Windows 98/2000/NT/XP/Vista.

This application was built with the concept that financial accounting is easy and the use of financial accounting applications is a pleasant experience, even by users who are just starting to learn computers and accounting.

Most of the input transactions performed by users using a form that is easily understood and is often encountered in everyday life, so users need not fear either in entering the transaction, need not be confused where the debit and credit which, in the automatic program will do it.
