SMR Agro's ERPNext Success Story

About

SMR Agro Nutrients Pvt Ltd

SMR Agro Nutrients has been working under the JAGATHI brand since 2013 with the goal of assisting Indian farmers in breaking free from the cycle of growing expenses and declining returns. Their water-soluble fertilisers for micro-irrigation are more than just products; they are solutions that help farmers reduce fertiliser costs, save 40–70% of water, and double yields. It's about making farming a sustainable way of life instead of a struggle.

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

Vendor Payment Nightmare: Inaccurate manual handling of orders and material received resulted in mismatched invoices, which ultimately damaged supplier relationships.
Lack of automated alerts: Working with outdated information resulted from the late discovery of pricing updates, payment deadlines, and invoice discrepancies.
Ad hoc Manufacturing: Inefficient production and material waste resulted from the inability to track raw material consumption versus final output in the absence of standardised BOMs or production plans.
Multi-Store Chaos Without Central Control: Sales teams worked in the dark about product performance, territory revenue, and store profitability. The management was unable to fix underperforming locations or find effective strategies.
Manual payroll processing: The HR team spent days on payroll, manually calculating PF and ESI, hoping the numbers were right. Employees frequently asked about leave balances and salary information because there was no self-service system in place.

We were passionate about transforming farmers’ lives, but our operations were tangled in manual work, delayed decisions, and constant firefighting. We knew we had outgrown our old ways of working. Everything turned around when we partnered with Hybrowlabs to set up ERPNext. Their team understood our processes and what we aim to achieve with ERP. The shift has been remarkable, as all our operations, from manufacturing to retail stores, came together in one clean, transparent system. What really stood out was how committed the Hybrowlabs team was to our success. Now when we open new stores, launch new products, or expand to new areas, we're confident the system can handle it.
