A furniture unit, a job printer and a food line at Valiyavelicham all run on figures typed up later; a dashboard puts them on a screen while the week can still be changed.

Wood and furniture
Order book by product and customer, timber and board consumption against estimate, machine and polishing time per job, and a plain view of which designs in the Malabar furniture trade actually earn their keep.
Printing and packaging
Press hours, make-ready and waste sheets by job, paper cost against the quotation, and outstanding by customer, so a press knows before the bill goes out whether the run made money.
Food processing and plastics at Valiyavelicham
Batch recovery against standard, downtime by machine and by shift, rejection by line and grade, and raw material cost trends, compared week on week rather than judged once the month has closed.
Kannur's manufacturing is made of many small units rather than a few large ones, and each keeps its own working. A furniture maker knows the month was busy but not which product paid. A job printer quotes from memory. A food line at the Koothuparamba growth centre learns its wastage when the stock is counted. The figures exist, in Tally, in the ERP and in books, but nobody has put them together.
Business intelligence and dashboards do that assembling. We connect your ERPNext, your accounts and whatever else holds data, agree with you the measures that actually decide something, and build views that refresh on their own: order book, production, wastage, recovery, receivables, cost per job. Anyone can drill from a total to the entry behind it, and a short summary can arrive each morning by email or WhatsApp.

Committees and partners decide on statements typed up days before the meeting, which nobody can question line by line. A view current to yesterday, showing unit-wise output, sales and cash, turns a meeting from receiving numbers into arguing about them.
A printer or a furniture unit prices the next order from the last one without knowing what the last one really cost. Job-wise material, labour and machine time on one screen show which work a Kannur unit should chase and which it should quote higher.
Food and plastics lines lose material quietly. Output measured against material issued, batch by batch, puts recovery on a chart while the shift supervisor can still act on it, instead of leaving it to the monthly count.
An example
The shift starts and the production manager at a Valiyavelicham unit opens one screen instead of three registers. Last week's output stands against material issued, line by line, and recovery on the second extruder has slipped since the machine was serviced. He calls the fitter before the morning run rather than after the monthly count. On the same page, orders due this week are set against what is in the godown, and one customer's order cannot be filled from stock, so purchase is told on Monday and not on Thursday. The partner who spends half the month away is looking at the same page on his phone.
A dashboard project starts with the decisions you take, not with charts. We ask what you wish you knew each Monday, agree a short list of measures, and check honestly whether your data can carry each one. Workshops are held in Kannur, or on video where a partner is abroad. The build happens from Kochi and arrives in stages, starting with the screen you will look at first.
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.
Within limits, yes. Data can be pulled from Tally and from structured sheets on a schedule, and the result is only as current as those sources, so we say plainly where the gaps are. Many businesses begin here and move to an ERP once the gaps are visible.
Access follows the role. A unit in-charge sees one unit, a department head one department, and partners see everything. Sensitive measures such as margin or wages can be limited to named people, and every chart respects the permissions of the data behind it.
No. We train one or two of your own people to build and change charts with the tools that come with the system. We stay available for new data sources and harder analysis, but the weekly changes should be yours to make.
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.
Wooden furniture cluster (Malabar furniture consortium)cluster
Roughly 200 wooden-furniture units grouped under a Malabar furniture consortium per the MSME-DI district profile.
A consortium of small furniture units works to order, so cost per job and timber consumption are the only numbers that decide whether the work was worth taking on.

Food processing, plastics and recycling units on the growth centre live on batch recovery and downtime, figures that are useless once the month has already closed.
