2. Brief Company Profile:
The Edible Oil Manufacturing industry is located in Tamil Nadu, India. Established in
the year 1981 it began to commercially manufacture Cattle, Broiler, and Layer feeds
since the year 1983. At present the Company has a production capacity of 90,000
Metric Tonnes per month. With continued improvement and innovation, the company
enjoys a pre-dominant position in the Cattle and Poultry Feed business in the states of
Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Production & Distribution Process - an Outline:
Maize, Zoya, and Jowar are the major raw materials used to manufacture the Feeds. Based on a certain chemical
formula; medicine, chicken waste, and dried fish; are added to the feed in the process of its production. The Finished
Goods (Animal Feeds) packed in 20, 50 and 70 Kg bags are sold to direct customers and through their own branches in
Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
Orders are received from direct clients and branches through emails only. The company always maintains Animal Feeds
stock that would cater to the demand of a minimum of at least 3 days. From the stock maintained, ordered materials
are delivered through their own fleet of vehicles that are maintained in their own workshop. In the event of
non-availability of own vehicles other vehicles are hired and the freight charges are invoiced and paid. The vehicles are
fueled at the company's own petrol bunk.
The own vehicles used for distributing FGs, after the delivery is made, are engaged with appropriate third parties to
transport goods while returning from their respective destinations. The freight charges for these services are collected
through receipts as direct income.
The Pain Points faced by the Company:
1
The existing software in the branches and the existing
software in the factory are different. The entries made
at one end are not automatically updated in the
other, and so has to be manually repeated resulting in
double entries that cause a lot of confusion and errors.
POs have to be manually forwarded for hierarchical
approval.
Orders from clients had to be manually written down
and later converted into Sales orders at the branch.
While dispatching materials against orders from the
branches the client raises appropriate invoices. On
reaching the point of delivery if the shop to which the
delivery is to be made is closed the respective invoice
becomes redundant and disrupts the entire invoicing
sequence.
The following pain points are the major hurdles that led the Company to decide on retiring the existing software and
planning to deploy a new one:
Client does not have a system to monitor sales person
performance.
The company generates tentative P&L statement for
each day based on approximations
The customer's existing digital facility did not provide
details on AP and AR ageing
Excel sheet based manual calculation is used by the
company to calculate GST (GSTR1 & GSTR2)
The existing system does not provide the company's
top management with any MIS reports.

The Company had a siloed system that was quite ineffective when it came to digitally
governing its business process. Most procedures and entries were manually performed,
while some data was registered in Excel Sheets with no further scope. In total, the
absence of a coherent and comprehensive digital solution for the entirety of the
organizations business function made it seek for an ERP.
Of all the ERP solutions that responded to the Organization’s quest, it found Roadmap
ERP to be the technologically and economically best-fit system with the most amicable
answers to address each one of its pain points.
