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

Pravaig, founded by Siddhartha Bagri, is pioneering the electric vehicle sector with a commitment to open-source principles and decentralized power. This is how they discovered ERPNext. Their mission is to revolutionize transportation through innovation and sustainability. Pravaig  faced significant operational hurdles during the R&D phase of the business. Jeevananda, the dedicated engineering counterpart, took the initiative to address these challenges:

  • Inventory Management: Frequent stockouts and discrepancies in inventory tracking hindered operational efficiency
  • Manual Processes: Pre-launch orders, advance collections, and accounting were manually intensive, leading to delays and errors
  • Lack of Integration: Departments operated in silos, lacking collaboration and visibility into interdependent tasks

Benefits

Jeevananda spearheaded initial improvements,

  • Implemented basic inventory and project management tools to improve visibility and control.
  • Introduced rudimentary CRM processes for handling pre-orders and customer relations.


As Pravaig  expanded sales and distribution, their team recognized the need for an experienced partner. They partnered with Tridots, a Frappe specialist, to implement a comprehensive ERP system. Tridots was considered after careful consideration and evaluation of multiple Frappe partners, by Akshay Singhal from Pravaig's Finance team.


So far Pravaig as the following modules live

  • Advanced Inventory Management: Enhanced visibility into stock consumption, accurate tracking of expired stock, and serial number tracking.
  • Efficient Project Management: Streamlined task allocation, timesheet management, and project tracking to optimize resource allocation.
  • CRM Integration: Customized CRM module for seamless pre-order management and customer relationship nurturing.
  • Financial Oversight: Automated financial reporting and audit controls for real-time insights and compliance.


All of these are helping Pravaig with operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.


In the next phase, they are working on making the manufacturing, dealer management, and logistics modules live.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

The strategic adoption of technology and process optimization had a profound impact:

  • Competitive Advantage: Pravaig High gained a competitive edge in the electric vehicle market through innovation and operational excellence.
  • Scalability: Scalable operations and robust infrastructure laid a foundation for sustainable growth and market leadership.
  • Community Engagement: Upholding Siddhartha's vision of open source and decentralized power, Pravaig  fostered community engagement and support.
ERPNext helped us optimize our R&D costs during a capital-intensive phase. We are now set to transition into the manufacturing and distribution phase with ERPNext.
