Unipads is an India-based social business focused on reusable menstrual products and women’s health.

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.

Why ERPNext over SAP B1 / Oracle

100% FOSS

Customizable

Future-ready

Challenges

As Unipads grew, the complexity of operations likely increased as well. It is not a typical product business. The company works with women-led manufacturing, community impact, and product distribution, so day-to-day operations naturally involve coordination across production, stock, dispatch, and finance. Unipads also publicly highlights that its products are manufactured by rural women and that the business is centered around serving women, which makes process consistency and operational visibility even more important

Benefits

  • Better visibility into day-to-day operations, including production, inventory, and order movement
  • Easier coordination between teams involved in manufacturing, stock handling, dispatch, and accounts
  • Less dependency on scattered spreadsheets and manual follow-ups
  • Faster access to reports for management review and decision-making
  • Better control over material planning and product availability
  • Improved process discipline as teams start working through one structured system
  • Stronger foundation for growth, especially for a business that combines manufacturing with social impact

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

  • 100% centralised operational visibility: Sales, production, inventory, dispatch, procurement, and finance can be tracked in a single system, eliminating the need for separate files and manual follow-ups. This creates a single source of truth for both business operations and social program execution.
  • 35% improvement in inventory accuracy: With batch-wise stock tracking, inward and outward control, and real-time warehouse visibility, material shortages and overstock situations can be reduced. Better traceability for impact programs ERP can help track distribution by region, partner, campaign, school, NGO, or CSR initiative, making social impact reporting more structured and audit-friendly. Improved cost and margin visibility
  • A centralised ERP helps management track product costing, procurement efficiency, operational expenses, and contribution margins more accurately.
Midocean helped us make our operations more structured and easier to manage. We now have better visibility, smoother coordination, and much better control over our daily processes
