Project challenges before the implementation of SAP B1

Since 2000, Shree Hari Yarns has been utilising local ERP systems to manage and streamline its business operations. ERP for textile manufacturing is a common software which many other players in the industry use.

However, as the business started to grow, the company started facing complexities which were beyond its control. From 2018 to 2019, the company’s management began experiencing issues with the ERP software and attempted to shift the process to Tally, but this effort was also unsuccessful. They also tried BizERP but were not satisfied with the result.

Some of the common challenges that Shree Hari Yarn was facing before the implementation of SAP B1 are as listed below:

Lack of inventory control

The company lacked real-time visibility into raw material availability and work-in-progress inventories, which posed a problem in the production process. Lack of control over he inventory levels led to production delays as well.

Problems with sudden document deletion

One of the most crucial and damaging situations was the deletion of documents. Users from different departments would delete invoices, delivery notes or stock entries, which leads to nontraceability. This led to a data integrity problem, making the audits difficult.

High manual dependency

With local ERP software in place, the company was heavily reliant on its staff. From order processing and inventory tracking to spreadsheet management and various accountabilities, everything was staff-oriented, which delayed the process and led to human errors.

Problemswith credit limit management

The local ERP system also failed to support Shree Hari Yarn’s credit limit management process. The company’s sales team had no visibility into the data regarding the customer’s outstanding dues. They started processing the orders without any information. They lead to payment delays.

Why was SAP B1 the best option for Shree Hari Yarn?

SAP B1 is designed for scalable businesses that need a flexible ERP system. Affordability and customisability – these are the two key features of SAP B1 that make it an ideal software solution for Shree Hari Yarns.

Here’s why SAP B1 stood out:

Helping establish seamless integration across different working departments at Shree Hari Yarn.
Security of official documents and comprehensive management thereof.
End-to-end control on inventory, sales, production and finance processes within the company.
Facilitating easy credit limit management with sufficient data storage about the credit capacity of the clients.
Reducing manual dependency by streamlining the whole process through the software

By choosing SAP B1, Shree Hari Yarns aimed to achieve a successful transition and streamline its operations for smooth functioning.

Choosing the right SAP B1 implementation partner

While Shree Hari Yarns was struggling with local ERP, the company got in touch with Lee & Nee Softwares (Exports) Ltd. When the company attempted to partner with SAP directly, it was advised to purchase either SAP HANA or SAP Business ByDesign software.

However, by partnering with Lee & Nee Softwares (Exports) Ltd, the company became aware of the affordable and scalable SAP B1 software. The partner followed a well-structured approach:

Business process mapping

A detailed study of the existing workflow and business challenges, as well as inefficiencies, was conducted.

Gap analysis

The focus was on the functional gaps and how SAP B1 can help address them successfully.

Customisation blueprint of business

Since SAP B1 can be customised according to the specific needs of the business, the delivery partner focused on choosing and setting yarn quality parameters and customising the SAP B1 system accordingly.

User training module

Once implemented, the administration department of Shree Hari Yarns was given proper training to handle and operate the software successfully.

Modules implemented

The following SAP B1 modules were implemented to integrate the company's services. Finance and accounting

Inventory management

To initiate improved control over raw material availability, finished goods circulation, and storage locations of goods.

Sales and CRM

To streamline the company’s sales, maintain accurate records of customer sales and profit levels, and support quotation management.

Quality Control

Production Planning

By keeping these modules in unison and gaining complete visibility of the supply chain process, implementing these modules under SAP B1 is essential.
