Leading tea manufacturer in India - 10 states, 800+ distributors, 35+ super stockists, 500+ sales team, 70+ ERP users.

01The context

Five disconnected systems running one company.

The client was running on Navision (basic accounting), an in-house ERP for operations and sales, Tally and manual Excel. FIFO maintenance was a nightmare. Price lists and scheme workings sat outside the system. There was no single source of truth - every report came with a reconciliation conversation.

02The diagnosis

One ERP spine - go-live across all modules at once.

Phased ERP rollouts in distribution-heavy businesses risk dual-system parallel runs that consume more energy than they save. We chose a single big-bang go-live with all modules - tighter scope, harder discipline, faster to value.

03What we installed

The interventions, in order.

  • ERPNext go-live across all modules — Single platform serving 10 states, 800+ distributors, 70+ ERP users.
  • Branch accounting + territory cost centres — Profitability visible per territory. Variance against plan tracked monthly.
  • Custom blending MRP + traceability — Master Blend → Individual Blend → Packing Machine - genealogy enforced. Batch printing integrated.
  • Trade promotion / customer promotion management — Schemes (TP & CP) configured at sales-order and delivery-note level.
  • Procurement (auction) integration — Inbound + outbound APIs for raw-tea bidding wired into ERP.
  • WMS + DMS integration — Warehouse inventory + distributor sales orders flow into the ERP automatically.
