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

Vikram Tea faced critical operational challenges due to fragmented systems:

  • Multiple ERPs with no integration, leading to a lack of a single source of truth.
  • No direct control over inventory and manufacturing processes.
  • FIFO tracking was difficult to maintain consistently.
  • Price lists and scheme management (TP & CP) were missing.
  • Limited access to real-time data and reports for decision-making.

Benefits

Agkiya, in partnership with SMB Catalyst, implemented ERPNext on Frappe Cloud with a big-bang go-live across all modules. Key solutions included:

  • Branch Accounting with Territory-wise cost centers.
  • Customisation for Blending as a core business process (Master Blend → Individual Blends → Packing Machines).
  • Scheme (TP & CP) management at the Sales Order & Delivery Note levels.
  • Customised MRP for production planning, inventory traceability, and integration with batch printing software at packing lines.
  • Integration with: Procurement Application (Inbound & Outbound APIs) for raw tea bidding.
  • WMS for barcode-based multi-stacking inventory management.
  • DMS for automated distributor & stockist sales orders.
  • Multi UoM stock handling (Bag, Kg, Packet).

  • Significant reduction in manual reconciliations and errors, driving efficiency
Agkiya has not only successfully completed but also exceeded expectations in the implementation of an ERP system for Vikram Tea Processor Private Limited. The system is now fully operational and has significantly improved our business processes, proving to be an invaluable asset to our company. We highly recommend Agkiya for future projects and commend their outstanding team for a job well done.
