How Samadhan ERP Helped a Corrugated Giant Streamline Operations

1. Corrugated Samadhan ERP helped us get our house in order to respond to ever changing landscape of our customers and vendors “We found a perfect blend of structured method and also a lot of flexibility . We encoun- tered delays at our end as we were busy streamlining our new corrugation line. Sama- dhan waited patiently till we were ready. They were also ready to incorporate few more changes to some require- ments we had already given and confirmed earlier. They stood firmly with us when we transitioned to the new solution. Came back again for machine integration and further optimization. We were happy to be able to get into a good solution and also be able to grow the solution further and adapt it to meet our requirements.” Managing Director –Leading Corrugated Box Manufacturer, India (South) Industry Corrugated Manufacturing Country India Partner Samadhan www.samadhanindia.com “We did find some solutions good in corrugation specificity, some good in finance and controls but Corrugated Samadhan was one solution which had both of these in one integrated solution.” Managing Director –Leading Corrugated Box Manufacturer, India (South) The organization is committed to the environment and adhere to the best practices of the industry at an international level. The directors who each have decades of experience in the packaging industry men- tor the staff and workers to establish strong processes and ensure that the experience our customers gain is unparalleled. It is the only company in India to have an installed capacity of 5000 tons/month, within a single facility, and a combined installed capacity of 7000 tons/month from both their facilities. Their claim for perfection is reflected in the various labs, extensive technology, an excellent work force and a state-of the art facility that they have installed. In their experience of over 25 years in the industry, they have realized that to be able to serve their customers well they need to be very well organized in-house. They need world-class machines and technolo- gies, inspired leaders and colleagues and also an integrated infor- mation system which becomes a framework to connect their people and processes. A good ERP serves this need. More Than Just an ERP –A Solution That Grows with You The company looked at number of ERP solutions for more than 2 years and then selected Corrugated Samadhan. Their reasons for this were: • Samadhan's understanding of corrugated packaging business and also their keen desire to learn more and adapt the solution to suit the industry specific needs was impressive. • They used ERP framework Microsoft Dynamics NAV to create a solu- tion. The solution is sturdy, secure and scalable. User-friendly excel like user interface, open architecture of the solution and the fact that the framework allows customization without affecting the basic struc- ture of the solution was especially liked by us. There is a large Mi- crosoft Dynamics Community, thousands of customers, millions of users and thousands of partners available. The solution has a roadmap of improvement and hence we will be insured against tech- nological changes. Managing Director –Leading Corrugated Box Manufacturer, India (South) 1st

2. “We do not have much control on our vendors and customers as they will keep giving us new challenges which we will have to meet. Our internal system is in our full control. We must set our house in order, compre- hensively. This will help us meet any challenge coming from outside. A good ERP solution like Corrugated Samadhan is an acute need and not a luxury or good to have solution. Having it when you can comfortably have it is much better that to have it when the fire is on. While selecting an ERP one should not be driven by cost alone. It is important to get a good system in because you will need to stay with it for long. You cannot keep changing your solution which controls your vital operations every now and then.” Wastage Controlled, Workflow Streamlined –Smarter Busi- ness, Stronger Future It is a great comfort to have all aspects of our business integrated in one single solution. There is only one version of the truth. There is no reconciliation needed. Understanding what is going on is easy for anyone by just logging into the solution, we do not need any meetings any more for this. We are able to exercise controls on the business by building in workflows and approvals. We can be always in touch with the ERP even when we are not in office. The supply chain coordination is excellent because of alerts, emails and fact communication. Customers are happy with our information flow. We meet their complete information needs. All this results in a faster turnaround. For orders, for supplies, for inventories and for the working capital. It is easier for us to man- age the business. Wastages are in control. Once we have this system, growing further will not strain us on account of information system. We just need to extend the same to the new business or outlets. We do not have a baseline to compare the financial outcome but it will be correct to assume that the ERP has improved our capital turnover, given us tools to cut wastages and improve the bottom- line and improved our decision making which is more databased now. One thing is very certain. It has given us a new and vastly im- proved way to conduct our day to day business.
