One connected system across engineering, procurement, fabrication and offshore installation — so a project's true status, cost and material position are visible on the day, not at the post-mortem.
Free, no-obligation consult — just a real person.

A fabrication yard is waiting on a single flanged spool. The engineering team released the drawing a fortnight ago; procurement believes the purchase order went out; the vendor says it was never confirmed; the storekeeper at the offshore site has half the consignment logged in a register nobody else can read. Four teams, four versions of the truth, and a project milestone quietly slipping — with a client like ONGC or Cochin Shipyard on the other end of the schedule. On an offshore EPC job, that is not an administrative nuisance. It is liquidated damages, idle labour and a vessel window you cannot rebook.
That was the operating reality at JPC Enterprises, an Indian EPC company delivering end-to-end solutions to the oil and gas sector — design, engineering, procurement, project management, fabrication, installation, logistics, testing and commissioning, plus repair, maintenance and after-sales support. Their work goes to some of the most demanding buyers in the country: ONGC Ltd., MDL Shipbuilders Ltd., Siemens India Pvt. Ltd., Cochin Shipyard Ltd. and the Shipping Corporation of India. The engineering was never the weak link. The connective tissue between departments was.
Acube, an Official ERPNext Partner, mapped JPC Enterprises's real execution model — multi-level project phases, material requirement planning, staged approvals — and configured ERPNext around it rather than forcing the business into a template. Projects, Purchase, Inventory and HR went live as one system, with hands-on training for the teams who would actually run it.
The headline result: a 40% reduction in procurement delays, and unified project visibility from engineering through to offshore execution.

across phases that overlap and re-sequence.
across fabrication yards and offshore locations, where the same material could be short in one place and idle in another.
, leaving management decisions dependent on assembled spreadsheets rather than live data. > The cost of staying as-is: on an EPC contract, delay is the most expensive line item there is. A material that arrives a fortnight late does not cost you a fortnight — it costs you idle crews, re-mobilisation and a schedule you now have to defend to a client like ONGC.
A tailored ERPNext deployment that digitised and unified core operations across departments — designed around JPC Enterprises's execution model first, configured second.
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Core ERPNext setup — Projects, Purchase, Inventory, HR | One platform mapped to the real execution model, including multi-level project phases and material requirement planning. |
| End-to-end workflow design | Modelled workflows for project planning, purchase approvals, vendor tracking and task assignment — visibility across engineering, fabrication and offshore installation stages. |
| Procurement & inventory integration | Material requests, purchase orders, stock movements and consumption tracking joined up, so follow-ups and delays stop being someone's full-time job. |
| Project progress & cost control | Structured tracking with budgets, timelines and cost centres — progress and resource usage monitored in real time, not reconstructed later. |
| Multi-site material planning | Stock visible across fabrication yards and offshore locations, so planning works off actual positions rather than local registers. |
| Training & deployment | Hands-on sessions for project, procurement and warehouse teams, so the system was adopted rather than merely installed. |

| Outcome | Impact |
|---|---|
| Procurement delays | 40% reduction through workflow automation |
| Project visibility | Unified across engineering, procurement and execution |
| Cost control | Improved control with real-time reporting on ongoing projects |
| Materials | Streamlined material planning and inventory usage at multiple sites |
| Foundation | A digital operations base built to support future scale and audits |
The change JPC Enterprises's teams felt first was not a report — it was the end of the chase. A material request no longer disappeared into someone's inbox between engineering and procurement; a purchase order carried its own approval trail; the stock position at a yard and the stock position on the system were the same number. Project, procurement and warehouse teams stopped reconciling each other's records and started working from one.
We do not begin with modules. We begin with how work actually moves through the business — in JPC Enterprises's case, how a project breaks into phases, how a material requirement becomes a purchase, who must approve what before a spool leaves a yard. That mapping was done before a single workflow was configured, which is why the system fitted the execution model instead of fighting it.
The second half is adoption. A procurement head who trusts the system stops keeping a private spreadsheet — and that only happens with hands-on training on their own data, for their own role. We trained the project, procurement and warehouse teams directly, and stayed on past go-live with ongoing ERPNext support, because an EPC business changes with every contract it wins and the system has to change with it.

Yes. At JPC Enterprises we configured multi-level project phases with budgets, timelines and cost centres, so a contract can be tracked as the sequence of stages it really is. Progress and cost roll up from the phases rather than being estimated at the top.
By removing the manual handovers. Material requests, approvals, purchase orders, vendor tracking, stock receipts and consumption all live in one chain, so nothing waits on a phone call or an email that was never sent. For JPC Enterprises that was a 40% reduction in procurement delays.
That was a core part of this build. Stock movement and consumption are tracked across multiple locations, so planners see the real position everywhere instead of local registers that only make sense to the person keeping them.
They did here. We ran hands-on training for the project, procurement and warehouse teams as part of deployment, on their own workflows — which is the difference between a system that is installed and a system that is used.
Yes. ERPNext is modular, and that is how we usually recommend sequencing an EPC rollout — start where the pain and the money are, prove it on a live project, then extend into the rest of the business at your pace.
It is one of the quieter benefits. Because approvals, purchases, stock movements and project costs are captured as they happen, the audit trail already exists — which is why we describe the outcome as a digital operations foundation for future scale and audits.
