Seeking a single source of truth to streamline their end-to-end operations, beadedstream landed on ERPNext searching for open-source ERPs. The implementation focused on unifying core modules: CRM and Sales, Inventory, Production, Purchase, and Accounting. Key components of the successful implementation included:

• Manufacturing Execution System (M.E.S.) Customisation: Leveraging the flexibility of the Frappe Framework,  a custom application called Batch Job Processing (a Custom M.E.S. interface) was built specifically for DTC production. This solution enables shop floor workers to batch process multiple jobs for the same operation simultaneously, improving manufacturing efficiency. The custom document tracks employee, workstation, operation, and serial numbers involved in the batch job.
• Seamless Integration with IoT Platform: ERPNext was integrated with beadedstream's own customer data monitoring solution, beadedcloud, using webhooks and APIs. This integration ensures data consistency by: Syncing Quotations and Sales Orders from ERPNext to beadedcloud, receiving Bill of Materials (BOM) details back from beadedcloud into ERPNext for creation or linking to the respective Quote/Sales Order, and syncing the Logger Serial Number upon submission of the Delivery Note, associating the manufactured asset with the customer’s project in beadedcloud.
