Manufacturing Case study

NIDO Group runs its manufacturing operations in one system

CRM to billing, BOM and MRP, HR and payroll, and serial-tracked after-sales for a machinery maker.

01 · The client NIDO Group

NIDO Group

NIDO Group is a Mumbai-based provider of intralogistics automation, robotics and warehouse solutions such as conveyors, sorting automation and warehouse execution systems, with about 250 to 450 employees.

Client: NIDO Group
Industry: Manufacturing
Country: India
Engagement: Multi-module ERPNext implementation
Region: India (Mumbai)

02 · The challenge

What wasn’t working

Multiple ERPs and Excel sheets ran across departments, with separate mechanical and electrical BOMs. There was no material planning visibility, deal and specification data was lost in CRM, payroll arrears and tax were manual, and after-sales could not track machines by serial number.

Disconnected systems and data duplication

Separate mechanical vs electrical BOMs

No visibility into raw material planning (MRP)

Deal and specification data not centrally managed

Manual arrears, tax and salary calculations

No serial-based machine tracking; wrong spares dispatched

What they needed

Implement a centralised ERP platform
Enable end-to-end process visibility
Standardise BOM and manufacturing processes
Automate CRM to billing lifecycle
Digitise HR, payroll and recruitment workflows
Improve service management and tracking
Enable project profitability tracking

03 · What we implemented

The solution

A unified ERPNext replacing multiple ERPs. It covers CRM and quotations, sales with rental and subscription billing, purchase and import, inventory, manufacturing (BOM, MRP, production planning), accounting and GST, HRMS, projects, and support and after-sales.

On one ERPNext.

CRM and quotations
Sales, rental and subscription billing
Purchase and import management
Inventory and warehouse
Manufacturing (BOM, MRP, production planning)
