Challenges

Solar Square expanded its operations and client base, they encountered several challenges that impeded their efficiency and growth. One of the major obstacles they faced was the lack of a streamlined integrated enterprise process management system. Prior to implementing ERPNext, Solar Square relied on multiple tools and systems, leading to data silos and the need for manual data entry. This resulted in inefficiencies and increased the risk of errors in their processes. Furthermore, Solar Square struggled with time-consuming and manual processes for gathering data from various systems to generate consolidated reports. This hindered their ability to gain real-time visibility into their overall financial performance. Inaccurate inventory valuation and challenges in tracking stock movements across different systems and locations further added to their operational difficulties. These challenges not only consumed valuable time and effort but also posed risks to accurate financial reporting and decision-making.

Benefits

The system enabled Solar Square to recognize income accurately and on time-based on sales invoices, ensuring proper revenue recognition. It also automated project cost calculations and milestone bill tracking, saving time and effort. With ERPNext's advanced contract management capabilities, Solar Square effectively managed contracts and automated margin calculations on orders and projects. Additionally, item- and project-level budgeting empowered the team to exercise greater control over expenses, quickly identify deviations, and manage costs more effectively.
