Before implementing ERPNext, Bharat Engineering, and Fabricators faced several significant challenges that hindered their growth and operational efficiency

• Fragmented Software Systems: They relied on multiple standalone software solutions for different departments, leading to data silos, inefficiencies, and communication gaps.
• Complex Quotation Process: Preparing quotations involved coordinating between design, estimation, and sales teams to finalize costs for enclosures, MCBs, switches, installation, and logistics. This manual process was time-consuming, error-prone, and lacked standardization.
• Inventory Management Issues: With approximately 5,000 items in their inventory, tracking stock levels, procurement needs, and warranty information was challenging. This often led to delays, overstocking, or stockouts.
• Limited Production Planning Visibility: Their manual production scheduling system made it difficult to track job progress, allocate resources effectively, and anticipate delays.
• Procurement Inefficiencies: Lack of timely purchase alerts and visibility into material requirements led to procurement delays, impacting production timelines.
• Project Management Complexities: Managing projects with multiple design tasks, bill of materials (BOMs), and production steps was cumbersome without an integrated platform.
• Financial Oversight Limitations: Disjointed accounting processes made it difficult to generate accurate financial reports and track expenses, revenues, and profitability.
• Scaling Challenges: As a company serving domestic and international markets, they struggled to scale operations while maintaining quality and timeliness. These challenges created bottlenecks in their operations and highlighted the urgent need for a unified, automated solution to enhance coordination and efficiency across all business functions.
