Cashew kernels, ceramic ware, coir mats and processed minerals: Kollam makes things in batches where yield decides profit, and that is exactly what a manufacturing ERP measures.
Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Manufacturing in Kollam is mostly process work, and process work hides its losses. A cashew factory does not assemble parts. It takes a natural raw material of uncertain quality and breaks it down into many saleable grades plus by-products. A ceramics unit at Kundara fires batches where a share will crack. Whether the month made money depends on yields that few owners see until the accountant has finished, by which time the lot is long gone.
Manufacturing ERP software on ERPNext brings bills of materials, production planning, work orders, job cards, subcontracting, quality inspection, batch tracking and production costing into one system linked to stock and accounts. It handles one-input, many-output processes as well as conventional assembly. For producers in Quilon, the value lies in knowing actual yield and cost per batch while there is still time to act on them.
Prices are often quoted on a standard yield assumed years ago. Production entries that record actual inputs, outputs, labour and fuel per batch produce a real cost per kilo of each grade, so the sales team knows which orders make money.
Cutting test results for raw nut, moisture readings and inspection reports usually stay in a laboratory file. Quality inspections linked to purchase receipts and work orders attach those results to the batch, and a supplier's record builds up over seasons.
The production manager decides each morning what to run, based on what he sees. Planning against confirmed sales orders and available stock shows in advance which grades are short, what must be processed, and what raw material to release.
Cashew processing and export
Process-stage work orders from roasting or steaming through shelling, drying, peeling and grading, with multiple outputs including shell and husk by-products, job work to outside units, and yield and cost reports by lot, origin and supplier.
Mineral sands and ceramics
Recipes for clay bodies and glazes, kiln-batch tracking with rejection recorded at each stage, fuel and power cost allocated to batches, and preventive maintenance for kilns and plant, suited to units in the Kundara and Chavara belt.
Coir and allied products
Bills of materials for mats, matting and geotextiles by design and size, subcontracting to weaving units with material reconciliation, order-wise production tracking for export commitments, and finished goods stock by design and colour.
We spend the first days on your factory floor in Kollam, following material from the gate to the packing room and noting where quantities are, or could be, measured. The system is configured to those measuring points. Supervisors are trained at their own sections. We generally advise going live with stock and production entries first, and switching on planning and detailed costing once the data is dependable.

Yes. Instead of a rigid recipe, production is recorded as actual input and actual outputs for each lot, and the system values the grades and by-products produced. Standard yields can still be held for comparison, which is how variances by lot and supplier come to light.
Through subcontracting. Material sent out is recorded against the job worker, stays on your books as stock at their location, and is reconciled when kernels are returned. Job work charges post to the batch cost, and pending quantities with each unit are always visible.
No. We aim for a few entries at natural points: material issued, output weighed, batch closed. These can be made on a tablet at the weighing scale. If data entry is a burden, it will be skipped, so keeping it light is part of the design.
