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.

Challenges

Before adopting ERPNext, Meena Gas had certain issues running its LPG distribution business:

  • Cylinder Management: Cylinder deposit, credit, and price change management by cylinder capacity, delivery area, and type of customer was very challenging.
  • Sales Order Management: Cylinder-to-sales order mapping and synchronizing delivery and exchange coordination were significant in maintaining track of filled cylinders as well as empty cylinders.
  • Customer Communication: A customer contact and complaint handling central system was a moderately difficult one.
  • Supplier Relationship Management: Communication and documentation were required to manage supplier contracts, SLA and quality levels.
  • Inventory Visibility: Status and location, e.g., empty and full cylinders or in transit, had to be given real-time visibility.
  • Warehouse Management: How to optimize the use of available space in the warehouse for efficient movement of cylinders and processes needs to be identified.
