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

Kalash Seeds faced industry-specific and process-level challenges that impacted efficiency:

Difficulty in linking procurement, quality, and processing to ensure timely grower payments.
Managing growers as both suppliers and customers.
Maintaining the secrecy of parent lines and managing child-parent seed relationships.
Lack of stage-wise and lot-wise stock tracking, with manual lot number maintenance. >Absence of structured master data and standardised SOPs.

Benefits

ERPNext on Frappe Cloud was implemented with a comprehensive go-live across all functions. Key highlights included:

Seamless rollout covering 13 sales depots, 5 production centers, 15,000+ growers, and 1,200+ distributors.
Auto-creation and linkage of quality inspections and processing work orders with purchase receipts, ensuring timely grower payments.
Automated quality inspection triggers at purchase receipt and stock entries.
Lot management automation – creation and tracking of “mother batches” with complete traceability.
Access restrictions based on Territory and Branch to protect sensitive data and streamline role-based operations.
