Also serving Kasargod
Manufacturing in Kasaragod means processing what the land and sea provide: cashew, coconut, coir, fish. For a processor, the ERP question is always yield.
Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Kasaragod has no heavy industry. Its factories are cashew units with shelling and peeling sections, coconut oil mills and desiccated coconut plants, coir defibring units, seafood processing plants and the small engineering, food and furniture units on industrial plots around Seethangoli, Ananthapuram and Vidyanagar. They share one feature. Raw material is the major cost, it varies in quality, and profit depends on how much saleable product comes out of each tonne that goes in.
Manufacturing ERP on ERPNext covers bills of materials, work orders, job cards, stage-wise production, subcontracting, by-products, scrap, quality inspection and costing, tied to purchase, stock and accounts. For process industries we configure it around batches and yields instead of discrete assemblies. The purpose is that a processor can see, lot by lot, what went in, what came out and what it cost.
Most processors calculate recovery annually, from total purchases and total sales. By then nothing can be corrected. Recording each batch's input and graded output gives yield by lot, supplier and shift within days, while the supplier can still be questioned and the section supervised.
Cashew shell, coconut husk, shell and oil cake, fish waste: each has value and is often sold for cash with little record. Treating them as by-products of the work order brings that income into the books and gives a truer cost for the main product.
Processing stages are frequently given out to smaller units or to home-based workers. Subcontracting entries track material sent, material returned, processing loss and charges payable, so the principal knows what is lying with each job worker on any day.
Cashew processing
Stage-wise work orders for roasting or steaming, shelling, drying, peeling and grading, with weights recorded between stages, kernel output by grade, piece-rate labour cost per stage and a cost per kilogram by lot.
Coir and agro-processing
Conversion of husk to fibre and pith, fibre to yarn or mats, and coconut to oil, cake and shell, with fuel and power allocated, so that each product line's margin is visible separately.
Beedi and small manufacturing
Simple bills of materials and work orders for the small manufacturing units around Kasaragod town, material issue against each order, finished goods receipt, and job costing without asking a small team to do heavy data entry.
We insist on seeing the process before configuring anything. Our consultants spend time on your floor in Kasaragod, following one lot from gate to dispatch and noting every weighing point. Bills of materials, stages and yield norms are then set up by our Kochi team and validated against your past figures. Go-live is phased, with purchase and stock first and production entries next, and we are present in person for the first production cycle.

Yes. The bill of materials sets an expected yield, and the actual output is entered when the batch is completed. The system records the variance instead of forcing the standard. For a Kasargod cashew or coconut processor that variance report is the most valuable thing the ERP produces.
At the weighing points, on a tablet or phone, with a short form per stage. Where a digital scale is in use, weight can be read in directly. We design the capture around existing weighing habits so it adds seconds, not paperwork, to each batch.
It can be, if kept light. A small unit does not need job cards for each operation. Purchase, a single production entry per batch, stock and accounts will give most of the benefit. We size the system to the unit, and a lighter system is quicker to adopt.
