Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Seafood processing and export
Yield per lot from raw material to finished carton, margin per container by buyer and destination, cold-store occupancy and ageing, and receivables by overseas customer, combining plant data with accounts for exporters registered with MPEDA.
Food processing units
Batch yield and wastage, raw material price trends against selling price, product-wise margin across domestic and export customers, and production against capacity for the units in the Nellad park and around Muvattupuzha.
Timber and plywood trade
Daily commodity prices against purchase cost, stock ageing by thickness and grade, dealer-wise sales and outstanding, and lorry-wise dispatch cost for traders in the Perumbavoor market.
A managing director in Kochi typically receives a stack of reports each month, each from a different department, in its own Excel format, and a little late. The seafood exporter at Thoppumpady, the food processor at Nellad and the timber trader at Perumbavoor have this in common: the data exists, but turning it into an answer takes an analyst days, so most questions are never asked.
Business intelligence and dashboards bring data from ERPNext and your other systems into one place, cleaned and defined consistently. We build role-based dashboards for owners, finance, sales and operations, with drill-down from a headline figure to the transaction behind it, scheduled email reports and alerts when a number crosses a limit. Where the question looks forward, forecasting models can be added.

Sales reports one revenue figure, accounts another, and the difference eats the review meeting. Agreeing definitions once, and computing every figure from a single source, means the meeting can discuss what to do instead of whose sheet is right.
A monthly pack that lands in the second week of the next month describes the past. Dashboards refreshed daily, or live from the ERP, let a manager in Ernakulam act on a falling yield or a slipping collection while it can still be turned.
Skilled people spend their time exporting, pasting and formatting. Automating the routine reports frees them for the analysis they were hired for, and removes the errors that undermine confidence in the figures.
An example
Monday, seven in the morning, and the owner of a seafood processing unit near Thoppumpady opens the dashboard on her phone before the plant starts. Last week's raw material arrivals from the harbour are shown by lot with the yield each gave through peeling and freezing. Two containers shipped on Friday appear with their margin: one healthy, one thinner than expected because the lot behind it yielded poorly. She taps through to the lot, then to the supplier. By the time she reaches the plant, the purchase manager has a note to renegotiate that supplier's grade pricing, and finance has the receivables ageing for both buyers on screen.
A BI engagement with an Ernakulam company starts with a conversation with the people who make decisions: what you look at each morning, and what you wish you could see. We then audit the data sources at your office, agree definitions in writing and build the first dashboard quickly, so that feedback is about something real. Our Kochi analysts refine it with you from there.
Discovery. The decisions you make, the figures behind them and where those figures live.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.
Configuration. Dashboards and reports built from your ERP and other sources, with the right access.
Data migration. Your data sources connected and the figures checked against your own reports.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
No. Dashboards can draw from Tally, SAP, Zoho, custom databases and spreadsheets as well as ERPNext. That said, the quality of BI depends on the quality of the source data, and where that data is scattered or unreliable we will say so plainly.
We choose the tool to fit the case. ERPNext has capable built-in dashboards and reports, which are often enough. For heavier analysis across several systems we use open-source BI platforms that avoid per-viewer licence fees, so the whole management team can have access.
Yes. Dashboards are built to be readable on mobile, and key figures can also be sent as a scheduled message or email each morning. For many Ernakulam owners, the daily summary on the phone turns out to be the part they use most.
After a first conversation about the decisions you make, the figures you need and where they live, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about the figures you check every week and where they come from. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
