Hose Pipes Manufacturer trusts Ramco ERP on Cloud

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Established in 1990, this Tamil Nadu-based hose pipes manufacturer produces a wide range of hose pipes for irrigation, water management, sewage disposal system, water distribution, and chemical, and construction industries. The company was incorporated at Salem in Tamil Nadu and has been successfully manufacturing and marketing its products under different brand names that have gained tremendous popularity.

The company has well-managed ultra-modern production facilities located at Salem (Tamil Nadu) and Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh). To ensure prompt and quick delivery to its customer locations, the company also services customers and markets products from its depots at Chennai, Bangalore, and Vijayawada. Owing to its quality products, the company has now emerged as a leader in the South Indian hose manufacturing market.

The company has been growing steadily since its inception and has been adding products and markets to its repertoire on a regular basis. However, for any business of the size, diversity, and complexity of this company, it becomes critical to ensure that it has a system that integrates the business processes, locations, and data generated at various sources, end-to-end. Else, the challenges emanating as a consequence of expanded operations can begin to slowly, but surely, affect the business efficiency of people and processes. Somewhat similar was the scenario at the company till it adopted an integrated and comprehensive online ERP system to tie the loose ends of the business.

ERP ON CLOUD: A PERFECT FIT!

Since the budget for IT spend was limited, the company wanted to implement a cost-effective solution. However, this was easier said than done. During the evaluation process, the company screened several ERP vendors, including Ramco Systems, to ascertain the solutions and vendor fitment. It was during this process that the management realized that it would be easy to find a quick cure to its existing problems if it opted for a SaaS-based ERP solution, which would not only be quick to implement, and address its business issues, comprehensively but will also render multiple other benefits, such as 24/7 access to business operations (due to the accessibility of the ERP over the Internet). Considering these requirements, the decision swayed in favor of Ramco OnDemand ERP (RODE), Ramco System’s cloud/Internet-based offering. Apart from this, the startlingly less implementation time frame required for going live with the system and the credibility and expertise of Ramco in the field of ERP were a few other factors that firmed the company's decision in favor of RODE.

The business modules that the company opted for include: General Ledger, Inventory Management, Payable Management, Receivables Management, Purchase, Sales & Shipping, CRM/Sales Opportunities, Management Information System, and Discrete Production.
