ERP Solution for Metal Manufacturer

Challenges Faced By Metal Industry

• The organization was facing challenges in processing quotations as per demand due to the distributed work among departments and a manual process. There was lack of communication between departments resulting in delays in sending the final quotation to clients.
• The progress status of projects is not readily available and requires manual updates from each department. This process is time-consuming and delays the overall progress of work.
• Field data, including various measurements required for metal fabrication industries including manufacturing lifting equipment, and industrial doors, are collected in hard copy and distributed among departments, which consumes a significant amount of time.
• The warranty for products cannot be determined instantly due to the manual process, and all documents need to be checked to figure out the warranty.
• The organization was lacking proper planning as there is no real-time update from each department, resulting in delays and inefficiencies.
• The manual workflow for quotation preparation is taking up a lot of time, and the inflow of requirements is high compared to the monthly basis on which clients use to prepare quotations. As a result, the organization is unable to meet the monthly demand for the project inflow.
• Since client has custom metal fabrication manufacturing business model, the sales team faces the challenge of creating new quotations for each order. The absence of a quick reference to previous similar products and their prices makes the process time-consuming.
