Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including
Foundries & casting
Yield from melt to good casting, rejection analysis by cause, power consumption per tonne, customer-wise realisation per kilo, and delivery performance against schedule, refreshed from production entries.
Jewellery manufacturing
Metal balance by location, wastage against norms by goldsmith, order ageing, making charge realisation by product category, and showroom customer-wise sales and outstanding.
IT & startups
Revenue by client and service line, utilisation from timesheets, project margin, receivables ageing, and monthly recurring revenue and churn views for product companies in TIDEL Park and around the KGiSL IT park.
The owners of Coimbatore's companies are usually engineers, and engineers like instruments. They would never run a furnace without a pyrometer. Yet the business itself is run without gauges: the month's profit arrives from the accountant weeks late, rejection figures live in the quality department, and the receivables position is whatever the last phone call suggested. Decisions are sound in instinct and thin in evidence.
Business intelligence and dashboards on ERPNext turn the transactions you already record into live charts and KPIs: sales and margin by product and customer, stock turns, ageing, production output, rejection, cash position. Reports can be scheduled to arrive by email. Users drill from a figure to the entries behind it. For Kovai managements it means the Monday review starts from one agreed set of numbers.

A foundry knows its monthly rejection in tonnes and little else. A dashboard breaking it down by pattern, defect type, shift and customer shows where the loss concentrates, which is usually a handful of items that deserve the metallurgist's attention first.
Jewellery manufacturers hold gold with goldsmiths, in process and in finished stock. A daily metal position view by location and purity, against customer orders and hedged quantity, gives the owner a figure he otherwise gets only at audit.
IT services firms bill on milestones and learn a project's real margin at closure. Timesheet cost against billing, viewed weekly by project, shows overruns while scope can still be renegotiated with the client.
An example
On Tuesday morning the owner of a foundry group with a plant near Sulur and a machining unit in the city opens one screen before his first call. Yesterday's yield from melt to good casting is there, and the rejection figure is broken down by pattern; it turns out to concentrate on a few patterns for one customer, so the metallurgist gets a short list instead of a lecture. The receivables ageing shows which dealer accounts drifted over the week. A coir exporter in Pollachi looks at container-wise margin on the same product, and a trading group with a branch in Mettupalayam sees branch sales against target without waiting for the accountant. Each of them drills from a number to the entries behind it, and next week's Monday meeting starts from one agreed set of figures.
Dashboards are built remotely from Kochi, and the important conversation happens before any chart is drawn. We ask the management of a Coimbatore firm which five or six numbers they would want on a single screen and what they would do differently on seeing them. A first version follows quickly, and we refine it over a few review calls as people begin asking better questions of their data.
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.
To a degree. Data from Tally exports, spreadsheets and other databases can be combined into a reporting layer. The dashboards will be as timely as those sources allow. If figures are entered late or inconsistently, we will say so, since a chart cannot fix that.
Yes. Dashboards are role-based. The owner sees the whole business, a plant head sees production and rejection, the sales head sees orders and collections, and none of them sees payroll unless permitted. Access follows the same roles as the ERP.
Not for most needs. ERPNext includes dashboards and a report builder, and the Frappe analytics tooling is open source. Finance and operations staff can build their own charts without coding. We set up the core views and train a person in your Coimbatore team to extend them.
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.
Coir cluster, Pollachicluster
Identified agro cluster in the Pollachi revenue division, which is the district's coconut belt; coir units draw raw material from local farms.
Coir and coconut product exporters buy from farms by the season and ship by the container; margin per consignment and buyer-wise realisation are the dashboards they ask for.
