Client Context
Industry: Precision Engineering & Capital Goods
Company Size: Large Enterprise
Challenge Type: WMS Deployment + ERP Integration
Location: Multi-plant operation, Western India
Timeline: 90-day phased deployment
The Challenge
A precision engineering manufacturer ran stores and finished-goods inventory on spreadsheets that reconciled only at month-end.
Buyers ordered against numbers that were weeks stale, so safety stock kept climbing while line-side shortages continued.
Our Approach
1
Location & SKU Baseline
Rebuilt the bin-level location master and reconciled physical stock against book records before any system went live.
2
WMS Configuration
Configured putaway, picking, and cycle-count rules to the plant's actual material-movement patterns.
3
ERP Integration
Connected the WMS to the existing ERP so goods receipt, issue, and consumption post once and stay in step.
4
Phased Cutover
Moved store-by-store with parallel running and operator training, so no phase went live without a verified count.
