Mahesh Engineering, led by founder Mahesh Malani, started its journey around the same time as Frappe’s ERPNext. As a growing engineering company, Mahesh Engineering initially struggled with managing its business operations efficiently. They had limited control over their data, which was scattered across various spreadsheets. With no Management Information System (MIS) in place, keeping track of key business metrics was nearly impossible, and inventory management posed a constant challenge.

There were more challenges

• Material inward across multiple stores
• Too many separate apps for specific operations
• Synchronizing for time time-consuming and full of errors
• Reconciling financials at the year-end was a pain
• Sales forecasts based on guesswork
• Customer satisfaction was faltering due to an increase in volumes
• Poor inventory control

These challenges impacted decision-making and day-to-day business operations, limiting their potential to grow and scale efficiently.
