Q Spices
ERPNext & DISA Power Q Spices' Journey Toward Quality-Led, Scalable Manufacturing and Distribution

About

Q Spices
Q Spices has built its reputation on consistent quality — from sourcing raw materials to the final packaged product reaching retail shelves and vans across its markets. As the company grew its manufacturing operations and expanded into contract manufacturing for other brands, its systems needed to keep pace with the same discipline the business demanded on the shop floor. That is when Q Spices partnered with Wahni IT Solutions to implement ERPNext for manufacturing, quality, and financial operations, together with DISA, Wahni's mobile application for field sales, van sales, invoicing, and payment collection.

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

As a spice manufacturer supplying both its own brand and contract manufacturing clients, Q Spices needed tighter control over three areas that don't tolerate gaps: recipe accuracy, raw material traceability, and quality assurance. At the same time, its van sales operations needed a fast, mobile-first way to invoice and collect payments in the field, without slowing down the sales team or creating reconciliation headaches back at the office. Managing these needs meant addressing: Consistent recipe and formulation control across production batches End-to-end traceability of raw materials, from supplier to finished product Structured quality inspection records at each stage of production On-the-spot invoicing and payment collection for van sales Daily visibility into how much stock each van sold and what remained A system flexible enough to support contract manufacturing alongside their own product lines To grow with confidence — both in their own brand and in contract manufacturing partnerships — Q Spices needed a single connected platform spanning manufacturing, quality, sales, and collections.

Benefits

Wahni configured ERPNext around Q Spices' manufacturing workflow, with recipes and formulations managed directly in the system so that every production run follows an approved, repeatable process. Raw materials are tracked from the point of receipt, giving Q Spices full traceability back to source whenever it's needed — a critical requirement for both their own quality standards and the assurances they extend to contract manufacturing clients. Quality inspection records are captured within ERPNext at the relevant stages of production, creating a documented trail that supports consistent, uncompromising quality output. This traceability and quality documentation also underpins Q Spices' contract manufacturing business, giving partner brands confidence in the products made on their behalf. On the sales side, DISA equips the van sales team to invoice and collect payments directly from the field. Payment collection through the mobile app has simplified reconciliation, while end-of-day reporting gives the business a clear picture of material sold by each van — helping tighten stock control and route accountability.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

The ERPNext and DISA implementation gave Q Spices a connected system linking manufacturing quality to field sales execution. Key results included: Consistent, traceable raw materials from source to finished product Structured quality inspection records supporting uncompromising quality output Faster, simpler invoicing and payment collection through van sales Clear end-of-day visibility into stock sold per van A stronger foundation for contract manufacturing, backed by documented quality and traceability Better coordination between production, quality, and sales teams This implementation demonstrates how ERPNext can help FMCG distributors scale efficiently by integrating sales, inventory, finance, logistics, and customer management into a single unified system.
“The Wahni team helped us implement van sales and ERPNext within a single integrated system. Previously, we were using two separate systems, which often resulted in inaccurate and inconsistent data. With ERPNext, we can now capture information, generate reports, and present accurate insights to management—all in just a few clicks. This has significantly improved the efficiency and reliability of our operations"
