Help people to use our tools

We believe our tools like ERPNext can help organizations reduce waste and complexity. Frappe + ERPNext has the potential to be a “full stack” replacement for not only ERP (SAP/Oracle) but also the entire enterprise stack (Java/.NET). With this scope, we should help organizations by providing products and services to help them manage their technology platforms.

Why ERPNext over SAP B1 / Oracle

100% FOSS

Customizable

Future-ready

Challenges

  • Paper-based quality deductions: Cattle feed is priced on lab quality results; deductions were worked out on paper, separate from the PO, leading to supplier disputes with no audit trail
  • No gate-to-warehouse traceability: Vehicles logged in a physical register with no PO link, so batches couldn't be traced from gate to warehouse
  • Unchecked supplier payments: Paper invoices left finance blind to pending payments and whether goods had cleared quality
  • Late credit visibility: Field teams booked orders across 580+ dealers without live balances; exposure surfaced only after dispatch


Benefits

ERPNext was deployed centrally on a cloud VPS and all five plants were brought onto a single instance, so procurement, quality, stock, sales and finance finally shared one ledger.

  • One instance, five plants: ERPNext on a central cloud VPS; procurement, quality, stock, sales and finance share one ledger
  • Automated quality deductions: POs linked to vendor quality parameters; a Lab Deduction Rule calculates price cuts from moisture, protein and grade before payment approval, visible to both sides
  • Enforced gate pass sequence: Vehicle entry, weighbridge data and purchase tokens captured at the gate; receipt, quality check and warehouse posting run in fixed order for end-to-end batch traceability
  • Structured supplier payments: Bill Pass Advice routes invoices through quality verification, GRN check and management sign-off before finance
  • Live credit checks and compliant dispatch: Sales Orders show real-time dealer balance and credit limit; token-wise tracking from booking to dispatch to invoice; e-Waybills generated for GST compliance
  • Consolidated finance: Payables, receivables, GST and bank position across all plants; built-in bank reconciliation; TDS and GST registers ready without manual work
  • Access control: Role-based permissions across every function and plant


Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

  • 100% of inbound lots priced automatically: Quality-linked deductions calculated in procurement, ending paper calculations and supplier disputes, with a full audit trail
  • 100% gate-to-warehouse traceability: Every batch tracked from gate entry to warehouse posting; steps can't run out of order
  • Payments only after quality clearance: Paper approvals replaced by an auditable chain: quality check, GRN check, management sign-off
  • Credit checked before dispatch: Dealer credit verified at order entry across 580+ dealers, cutting exposure that used to surface after shipping
  • Live reporting across five plants: Management acts on real-time data instead of cross-plant calls and manual consolidation
  • Built-in compliance: GST invoicing and e-Waybills generated within the dispatch flow, no separate portal
Our team is pleased with the new era solution that is coming up as the performance is very good, different tools such as quality, insights, they were using different tools, the team is active as our own team rather than client vendor, they have been pushing us to go live.
