Tanteo Tequila, a Forbes-famous tequila manufacturing and brewery chain in the United States, has been running distillation units to produce different types of flavored beer for beer lovers and pouring tequila shorts in popular bars, restaurants, and spirits shops worldwide. Following were their major challenges

1. Manual Intervention: Before the ERPNext Manufacturing system, they manually handled their workflows and processes. Maintaining record files was time-consuming and hectic.
2. Data Fluctuation: The previous ERP manufacturing software implementation at Tanteo Tequila did not allow the tracking of accurate inventory received against raw materials transferred to the company.
3. Process Loss Calculation: The valuation rate of tequila changes every month, and they can not keep track of the rate variation against the item received.
4. Subcontractor Receipt: Managing data connected to subcontractors, including subcontracting receipts, tracking the status of subcontracted work, and quality control standards, was challenging.
5. Warehouse Management: Another big challenge before the ERPNext Manufacturing Software implementation in Tanteo Tequila was warehouse management, including space optimization, order shipping, stockout, and overstocking issues.
6. Workflow Traceability: From raw material to production, ERPNext Manufacturing Workflow processes needed to have traceability, which caused them to suffer a lot in terms of fast production and product delivery.
7. Recipe Management: Agave, pepper, jalapeno, and yeast required to make one perfect shot of tequila require proper recipe management, which came out as a challenge for them.
8. Raw Material Valuation: Handling manufacturing at such a large scale, they faced difficulty in the exact valuation of raw material quantity to make a perfect batch of tequila.
9. Seller Registration: Managing seller registration was time-consuming and complex as it included evaluating vendor capabilities such as quality control processes, production capabilities, and delivery processes. It led to delays in the supply chain and production schedules.
10. Batch Tracking: Due to regulations and quality control concerns, they required strict batch tracking of raw materials and finished goods.
11. Inventory Control: Tequila production requires carefully managing raw materials, including agave, yeast, and barrels. Before open-source ERP manufacturing software: ERPNext software implementation, they had no real-time visibility of inventory management.
