Five systems become one ERP for a steel group
A steel processing group ran sales, production, stores, despatch and accounts on five disconnected systems and spreadsheets. We built one modular ERP over 11 months with eight engineers. Month-end close fell from 9 days to 2.
- Duration
- 11 months
- Team
- 8 engineers
What the client needed
The group ran five disconnected systems and spreadsheets. Dispatch was arranged on WhatsApp. Finance reconciled the figures by hand.
What we built
- Sales orders
- Stores and scrap
one ledger for both.
- Production scheduling
plans set by furnace capacity.
- Quality gates
- Despatch
with e-way bill integration, in place of WhatsApp.
- Finance reconciliation
How it was delivered
Eleven months, eight engineers. The module approach is described on our custom ERP page.
The result
The client reported these figures to us, for this engagement:
- Systems in use
from 5 to 1.
- Month-end close
nine days down to two.
- Stock discrepancies
31% fewer than before.
