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

Torque faced multiple problems before implementation of ERPNext. Firstly, they could not meet required demand of customers. Even for the quantity produced, it was difficult to maintain quality consistently. Given batteries require warranty and services, the entire warranty management system was defective leading to poor visibility and billing. Further to that, they faced challenges with overtime consumption and low productivity. Customers could not track their warranty details. Handling human resources and having a holistic accounting management were a big challenge too.

  • E-Invoicing and E-Waybill Integration: The implementation streamlined GST compliance by enabling the generation and cancellation of e-invoices and e-waybills for sales invoices directly through the GST portal.
  • E-Waybill for Stock Entries: Torque Energy can now create and cancel e-waybills for stock entries, ensuring seamless goods movement with full compliance.
  • Comprehensive Warranty Flow: A new warranty process was introduced, allowing efficient repair and replacement of serial numbers purchased by end customers.
