A component maker in SIDCO Industrial Estate, Ambattur ships against a daily schedule from a car plant on the Sriperumbudur road. A hospital group bills patients who have flown in from three states. A retail chain with stores from T. Nagar to Velachery restocks every night. Three businesses, one shared trouble: accounts in Tally, schedules in Excel, approvals on WhatsApp.
ERPNext implementation puts sales, purchase, stock, production, accounts and HR into a single system, with GST, e-invoice and e-way bill built in. Acube is an Official ERPNext Partner working from Kochi. For a business in Chennai, or Madras as the older trade houses still write it, we deliver remote-first and travel for discovery, training and go-live.
Suppliers around Ambattur and Guindy receive revised pick-up schedules from the vehicle plants at short notice. When the plan lives in a spreadsheet, stores and shop floor hear of the change late. In ERPNext the sales order, production plan and material request move together, so a revision reaches everyone at once.
Hospitals serving medical tourists handle advances, package rates, pharmacy issues and insurer claims at separate desks, and reconciling them at discharge takes hours. With billing, pharmacy stock and accounts in one database, the final bill is built from what was actually issued.
Retail businesses with outlets across the city often find the system showing a product as available when the shelf is empty. One item master, a warehouse per store and billing that reduces stock at the moment of sale give the purchase team a figure they can order against.

An example
The day begins before the first shift at a press shop inside SIDCO Industrial Estate, Ambattur. The customer schedule arrives by email and is imported against the blanket order. ERPNext nets it against coil stock and open work orders and raises a material request for the one grade that is short; the buyer sees it and calls the stockist down the road. Mid-morning a revised pick-up list comes from the vehicle plant, the planner updates the schedule and the dispatch bay sees the change on its screen. After lunch, blanked parts go to Ekkattuthangal on a subcontracting challan for plating. By evening the delivery note and e-way bill are printed from one screen, and the owner reads the day's dispatch value on a phone on the way home.
We start with a discovery visit to Chennai: a few days on your floor, at your counters and with your accountant, mapping how orders, stock and money really move. Configuration and migration then run from Kochi with weekly review calls. We return for training and go-live, and stay until the first invoices have gone through cleanly.
Discovery and process review. We sit with your team and map how work actually moves, including the workarounds.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, an honest timeline and agreed deliverables, in writing.
Configuration and customisation. Modules, workflows, approval chains, roles and reports set up for your business.
Data migration and integration. Masters and history moved and checked, including from Tally; banking, payments and other systems connected.
Training, go-live and hypercare. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support takes over.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Automotive & auto components
Bills of materials, work orders and job-work challans for machining and plating sent outside, inspection at receipt and dispatch, and customer schedules feeding the production plan, so a line-stop call is answered from the system.
Healthcare & medical tourism
Multi-branch accounts, pharmacy and consumables stock with batch and expiry, purchase approvals for high-value equipment, and payroll for doctors, nurses and contract staff, in one set of books the group can consolidate.
Retail & FMCG
POS billing at each counter, central purchasing, inter-store transfers, scheme and price-list control from head office, and GST returns prepared from the same invoices, for chains that grew from one Pondy Bazaar shop.
Remote-first, with planned travel. Discovery, training and go-live happen on site with your people. Configuration, migration and testing happen from Kochi over shared screens and a project tracker you can see.
Yes. Customer schedules are held against sales orders and drive the production plan. Material sent to a job worker is tracked on subcontracting orders with the stock still on your books, and returned parts are inspected before they enter stores.
Yes. Ledgers, opening balances, outstanding bills, item masters and stock are moved as a defined step, then reconciled with your accountant before go-live. Many firms keep Tally read-only for the old years and begin the new year in ERPNext.
After a first conversation about your processes, branches, users and the systems you run today, 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 how your business runs today, which processes should go live first and what you use now. 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.
SIDCO Industrial Estate, Ambatturpark
Commissioned in 1964 over roughly 1,300-1,430 acres with about 1,800 units, mostly automobile components plus engineering and garments; described as the largest small-scale industrial estate in South Asia. Has its own SIDCO estate office and a workers' hostel.
About 1,800 units, mostly automobile components and engineering, per its Wikipedia entry. Bills of materials, job work and customer schedules are the first things an implementation here configures.

One of the earliest MSE-CDP clusters in the country, taken up with UNIDO in 2002-03; the district profile puts about 30% of India's automobile industry and 40% of its auto-components industry in and around the city.
One of the earliest MSE-CDP clusters in India, taken up with UNIDO. Suppliers in it must show process discipline to vehicle makers, and an ERP that ties schedule, quality and dispatch together is part of that evidence.
