Manufacturing

ERP Selection for ₹500M Multi-Plant Manufacturer

Challenge

Mid-sized discrete manufacturer with 3 plants, legacy ERP reaching end-of-life. Vendor consultant recommended enterprise-class system with estimated ₹8 Cr* implementation cost and 18-month timeline. Finance leadership questioned feasibility.

Our Approach

Trading & Distribution

Project Recovery: 18-Month Stalled Implementation

Challenge

₹200M distribution company: ERP implementation 18 months into 12-month project. Budget doubled, scope creep uncontrolled, team morale low. Steering committee questioning whether to continue or restart.

Our Approach

  • Rapid 3-week diagnostic: identified scope inflation, vendor over-customization, weak governance

  • Established weekly executive steering with risk escalation protocols
  • Provided independent oversight during recovery phase

Professional Services

ERP Audit: Unlocking $2.5M in Annual Margin Improvement

Challenge

₹120M consulting firm with SAP implementation 4 years live. Client was "running ERP" but not leveraging it strategically. Project profitability opaque, resource utilization estimates were manual, and finance team spent 15% of time on month-end close.

Our Approach

  • 6-week health check assessing configuration, user adoption, finance controls
  • Identified module gaps, unauthorized customizations, suboptimal processes
  • Developed prioritized optimization roadmap with ROI per initiative

Large EPC firm managing ₹1000+ Cr project portfolio. Multiple change orders per project, cost variance tracking fragmented across Excel and legacy systems. Finance team couldn't reliably forecast project margins until months after close.

Our Approach

  • Designed ERP-based change order control framework
  • Implemented real-time cost-to-budget visibility for 50+ concurrent projects
  • Created earned value management dashboards for project executives
  • Established governance for change orders (≥₹50L requires steering approval)

Results

₹8.5 Cr

recovered via controls

Real-time

cost visibility

Controls caught margin-threatening variations early. Prevented two major losses and enabled proactive commercial negotiations with sponsors.
