Company Overview

Elmas Magnetics Pvt. Ltd. is a well-established transformer manufacturer with nearly three decades of experience delivering high-quality magnetic and transformer solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The company manufactures a diverse range of transformers, including UL-listed products, engineered using advanced design and simulation tools to ensure reliability, energy efficiency, and consistent performance. As production volumes and product complexity increased, Elmas required an integrated manufacturing platform capable of managing multi-stage production processes, engineering revisions, quality inspections, material traceability, and accurate project-wise costing while maintaining complete operational visibility across departments.

Challenges

Before implementing Dexciss ERP, Elmas Magnetics managed its manufacturing operations through a combination of manual processes, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. As transformer manufacturing involves multiple production stages, engineering revisions, stringent quality inspections, and project-specific costing, the lack of an integrated platform created operational inefficiencies that impacted productivity, traceability, and decision-making.

• Disconnected Manufacturing and Costing: Production was initiated based on customer projections, while Sales Orders were often received later. Material consumption, labor, and overhead costs were not directly linked to customer orders, making project-wise costing, profitability analysis, and financial traceability difficult.
• Limited Production Visibility: Manufacturing followed multiple process stages—including winding, coil making, assembly, varnishing, testing, packing, and dispatch—but progress was tracked manually. The absence of digital job cards, real-time work tracking, and capacity planning limited visibility into shop-floor operations and resource utilization.
• Manual Engineering Change and BOM Management: Bill of Materials (BOMs) were maintained in spreadsheets using a single-level structure that did not accurately represent stage-wise manufacturing. Engineering Change Requests (ECR), Engineering Change Notices (ECN), sample approvals, and BOM revisions relied heavily on manual communication, increasing the risk of production errors and inconsistent documentation.
• Quality, Material Traceability, and Inventory Challenges: Incoming inspections, in-process quality checks, material substitutions, inter-project material transfers, and scrap tracking were largely manual. Without integrated quality workflows, automated approvals, dual UOM tracking, and end-to-end material traceability, maintaining inventory accuracy, audit readiness, and consistent product quality became increasingly challenging.

Solution: Dexciss ERP Implementation  

To overcome these operational challenges, Elmas Magnetics implemented Dexciss ERP as a unified manufacturing platform that seamlessly connects engineering, production, quality, inventory, procurement, and costing. It is a Manufacturing ERP for Electronics industry. The implementation was designed to digitize every stage of transformer manufacturing while establishing complete process traceability, standardized workflows, and real-time operational visibility across departments.

• Manufacturing & Production Management: The manufacturing module was configured to support Elmas' multi-stage transformer production process, covering winding, coil making, assembly, testing, varnishing, packing, and dispatch. It introduced multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs), digital Job Cards, production-stage tracking, capacity planning, and real-time work progress monitoring, enabling better production control and resource utilization.
• Engineering & BOM Management: The solution established a structured engineering workflow by implementing Engineering Change Requests (ECR), Engineering Change Notices (ECN), BOM revision control, sample approval workflows, and controlled material substitution approvals. This ensured every engineering change remained fully documented, traceable, and synchronized with production activities.
• Inventory & Material Traceability: Dexciss ERP digitized material movement from supplier receipt through production and final dispatch. The system introduced barcode-enabled batch, lot, and spool traceability, automated Unit of Measure (UOM) conversions, controlled inter-project material transfers, dual-UOM scrap management, and complete net material issue tracking, significantly improving inventory accuracy and material accountability.
• Quality Management: The Quality module integrated incoming inspections, in-process quality checks, and final testing directly with manufacturing operations. Standardized digital QC checklists, Non-Conformance Report (NCR) management, quarantine workflows, supplier quality evaluation, and automated approval processes established consistent quality control while strengthening compliance and audit readiness.
• Production Costing & Business Intelligence: The implementation unified manufacturing, inventory, procurement, and quality data to enable accurate Sales Order-based costing. By capturing material consumption, labor, consumables, scrap, overheads, and production variances in real time, Dexciss ERP delivered comprehensive costing analysis, production dashboards, operational KPIs, and management reports that support faster, data-driven decision-making.

Results

The implementation of Dexciss ERP provided Elmas Magnetics with a connected, manufacturing-first ERP platform that streamlined operations across engineering, production, quality, inventory, and costing. By replacing manual workflows with integrated digital processes, the company established greater operational control, improved traceability, and enhanced decision-making throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.

• Accurate Manufacturing Costing:
  • Established Sales Order-based costing by linking material consumption, labor, consumables, scrap, and overhead costs directly to customer orders, enabling accurate profitability analysis and better pricing decisions.
  • Improved financial transparency through real-time production cost monitoring and project-wise cost visibility.
• Optimized Manufacturing Operations:
  • Digitized multi-stage production with multi-level BOMs, digital Job Cards, capacity planning, and real-time production tracking, resulting in improved shop-floor visibility and better resource utilization.
  • Reduced manual coordination between departments through standardized workflows and automated approval processes.
• Complete Traceability and Quality Control:
  • Achieved end-to-end material traceability from raw material receipt to finished transformer dispatch using batch, lot, and spool-level tracking.
  • Integrated quality inspections with manufacturing, enabling stage-wise quality validation, automated approval workflows, NCR management, and stronger compliance with quality standards.
• Smarter Business Decisions:
  • Delivered a unified platform with real-time dashboards, production analytics, inventory insights, and management reports, empowering leadership with a single source of truth for planning, operational monitoring, and continuous process improvement.
