Challenges
Prior to the ERP project, ProNature Organic faced operational fragmentation, a common hurdle for scaling FMCG businesses. Key challenges included:
- Inventory and Shelf-Life Risks: As an Organic Food Brand, managing perishable stock and ensuring First-Expiry, First-Out (FEFO) was complex without a centralized system, leading to potential spoilage and waste.
- Lack of Traceability: Difficulty in tracing specific lots or batches of ingredients from procurement through manufacturing to the final consumer, posing a major food safety and compliance risk.
- Dispersed Financial Control: Disconnection between the Accounting module and operational systems made real-time cost tracking, profitability analysis, and regulatory reporting inefficient.
- Inefficient Supply Chain: The vital functions of Sales & Procurement were disconnected from Manufacturing and Warehouse Management, resulting in demand forecasting errors, unnecessary inventory holding, and delays in fulfilling customer orders.
Solution:
Dexciss ERP for Food & FMCG – Integrated Operational Excellence
ProNature Organic selected Dexciss ERP for Food and Dexciss ERP for FMCG to address its unique requirements. The implementation delivered a single, integrated platform that ensured seamless information flow across the enterprise, improving transparency and control.
Here is a detailed breakdown of each major module and how it addressed specific FMCG/Food operational challenges:
| ERP Module | FMCG/Food Business Context & Detail | Strategic Benefit to ProNature Organic |
| Manufacturing | Batch Production & Recipe Management: The ERP digitally managed complex 100% Organic formulas. It automatically synced production planning with raw material availability and machine capacity, minimizing production delays. | Consistent Quality & Yield Optimization: Ensured every batch adhered to "100% Organic" standards, and precise batch sizing was implemented to optimize yield and minimize material variance. |
| Inventory & Warehouse Management | Lot/Batch & Expiry Tracking (Traceability): Every inbound and outbound material/product was assigned a unique lot number. The system enforced First-Expiry, First-Out (FEFO) logic, critical for managing perishable organic goods. | Compliance & Spoilage Reduction: Guaranteed full compliance with food safety regulations (forward and backward traceability) and drastically reduced waste by optimizing inventory turnover. |
| Sales & Procurement | Demand Forecasting & Distribution: Sales data was integrated with historical trends and promotional activities to facilitate accurate Demand Forecasting. This forecast directly drove Procurement (raw material purchasing) and Manufacturing schedules. | Reduced Stockouts & Efficient Capital: Minimized stock-out events. Materials were procured exactly when needed, ensuring optimal utilization of Working Capital. |
| Accounting | Real-Time Costing & Financial Closure: Actual costs related to manufacturing (raw material consumption, labor, and overheads) flowed directly into the financial ledger. This enabled accurate margin calculation for every organic product SKU. | Data-Driven Pricing & Profitability: Management gained immediate insight into which organic products were most profitable, informing dynamic pricing and sales strategies. |
| HRMS | Workforce & Compliance Management: Automated shift scheduling, attendance tracking, and labor law compliance, which are essential for managing a large workforce in a manufacturing environment. | Operational Smoothness: Ensured efficient management of the workforce, preventing disruption to critical manufacturing operations. |
