What we implement — practical manufacturing features

We prioritise high-impact features that reduce waste, speed production and make accounting accurate and auditable with ERPNext.

BOM Management

Multi-level BOMs, version control and approval flows so production always uses the correct recipe.

MRP & Planning

Demand-driven MRP runs, exception reporting and automation of PRs to remove manual planning.

Shop-floor Capture

Operator logs, workstations and WIP tracking — data that feeds costing and performance metrics.

Quality & Traceability

QC gates, inspection templates and batch traceability for audit-ready records.

Hardware & Labeling

Barcode scanners, label printers and integration with weighing hardware for seamless material handling.

Costing & Reports

Accurate product costing, scrap handling and variance reporting integrated with accounting ledgers.

Pilot → Rollout: a predictable path

We break projects into short phases to de-risk implementations and deliver measurable outcomes early.

Phase 1 — Discover (1–2 weeks)

Workshops, KPI definition, BOM audit and hardware checklist. Clear acceptance criteria for pilot success.

Phase 2 — Configure & Integrate (2–4 weeks)

BOM/versioning, MRP scheduling, QC forms, barcode flows and any MES/PLC integrations for the pilot line.

Phase 3 — Validate, Train & Go-live (2–4 weeks)

Test runs, operator training, KPI measurement and hypercare. Then roll out across lines in controlled waves.

Case Study — Nirali Ceramic

We implemented production planning, BOM governance and inventory controls that improved production reliability and reduced stock variance for a tiles & ceramics manufacturer.

“Exalix mapped our mess of manual BOMs into structured versions, automated material requisitions and the shop-floor is now auditable. Month-end is faster and managers trust the numbers.”

Manufacturing FAQs

Short answers to common manufacturing ERPNext questions.

Can ERPNext handle multi-level BOMs and variants?
Yes — ERPNext supports multi-level BOMs, alternative BOMs and BOM versioning. We implement governance so only approved BOMs are used in production.
Do you support MRP automation and PR generation?
Yes — we configure scheduled MRP runs, exceptions and automated purchase requisitions that integrate with your procurement flows.
Can you integrate shop-floor hardware (barcode, PLC, weighbridge)?
Yes — we integrate barcode scanners, label printers, weighbridge and optional PLC/IoT sensors to capture production data into ERPNext.
