Pain Points
- TVSSCSL handles logistics for the automotive industry - a complex affair!
- In a manufacturing facility, over 50,000 parts are required at any point of time, of which about 5000 are fast moving
- Stock-outs or delays in transit could lead to disruption of production process at the customer end, leading to heavy penalties for non-compliance
- Dealing with multiple suppliers to service a single order for its clients was time-consuming; TVSSCSL needed to derive performance consistency from each agency involved
- Home-grown IT systems and specialized accounting package being used were not enough to maintain end-to-end visibility and efficient supply chain management
Key Business Needs
- An integrated and sophisticated ERP system that could offer most of the required modules, directly out-of-the-box, without the need for any modifications

“We have expanded dramatically, using IT. Currently, we have 140 locations in India compared to 45 locations in 2005, the year we deployed Ramco ERP system. Since then, we have witnessed three-fold expansion.”
“Irrespective of the high growth that we have been experiencing, we are able to scale much faster now. Say for instance, if earlier, ten people could support a transaction volume of 3 crore per person, the same ten people can now support a transaction volume twice than before, that too with the existing infrastructure.”
