KANHAI FOODS LTD. - KABHI B

Managing inventory in any business is not easy. The Food Industry is one of the most difficult ones until you have a perfect ERP solution. You need to be able to predict and need to plan everything from the initial stage.

The availability of raw materials is scrupulous so production and purchase planning need to have real-time data on their stock inventory. The Food Industry can’t produce products in excess as it may lead to surplus production of products. Also, if real-time data is not available due to a shortage of raw material production may stop. Many organizations don’t check their data regularly which leads to inaccurate data insights. They lack the knowledge required to maintain and manage the inventory.

The challenge

Kabhi B Bakery and Stores had a major problem of having an old offline software system where all data is in a respective system. Every department and outlet have to send their data file to the central system at the end of the day. Then only, the inventory data is added to the main database. There was no mobility availability for data feeding like order booking, sales return, payment collections, etc. For the food industry, inventory control and managing minimum life control is critically important. To identify the right inventory control metrics, workflows and processes Kabhi B internal implementation team and SAFAL’s solution architects, worked in tandem as they explored solutions to ensure their DataNote platform would enhance visibility and enable efficiencies across the supply chain.
