Introduction and Challenges
A well-known electrical home appliance manufacturer in India, established in the early 1980s, has grown significantly over the years. With over 4,000 employees, the company operates five large manufacturing units across Delhi, Kundli, and Baddi, and sells through more than 250 distributors and 10,000+ retailers across the country.
As the business expanded, so did its challenges:
- Inventory and production data were spread across different departments
- Sales, accounts, and warehouse teams worked in silos with no common system
- Stock tracking was manual, leading to delays and overstocking
- Financial reporting was slow and often inaccurate
- No real-time view of pending payments, supplier dues, or daily sales
With an annual turnover approaching INR 800–1,000 crore, the company knew that continuing with disconnected processes would impact growth, customer service, and profits. It needed a single system that could manage everything, from manufacturing to billing to inventory and accounts in one place.
Why Newton ERP?
The company chose Newton ERP for three main reasons:
- It connects production, inventory, sales, and finance in one easy-to-use platform
- It reduces manual work through automation and real-time updates
- It’s cloud-based, which means teams across locations can work with the same data
Newton ERP was also quick to implement. The setup was done in just 6 weeks, with full support from the Newton team. The system was designed to match the company’s specific needs, so employees could start using it with minimal training.
How Newton ERP Made a Difference?
Newton ERP was rolled out across departments such as manufacturing, sales, inventory, finance, and logistics. Here’s what changed:
1. Real-Time Inventory & Production Control
Inventory from all five plants and warehouses was now visible in one system. This helped reduce:
- Stock-outs by 70%
- Overstocking by 50%
Warehouse and production managers could now plan better based on live data.
2. Automated Sales and Invoicing
Order processing, invoicing, and dispatch tracking became automated. As a result:
- The cash cycle became 40% faster
- Manual errors in bills dropped by 85%
Sales and finance teams didn’t have to chase paperwork anymore.
3. Smarter Financial Management
The ERP gave the finance team real-time dashboards for payables, receivables, and account summaries. This improved:
- Forecasting accuracy by 30%
- Working capital management (days reduced by 25%)
Finance leaders could make quicker, data-backed decisions.
4. Better Purchase and Supply Planning
Procurement became smarter. The system tracked supplier lead times, current stock, and sales trends. This meant fewer delays and less money stuck in unused raw materials.
5. Business Performance in One Dashboard
From plant output to sales targets and pending payments, everything could now be seen in one place. Managers responded faster to issues and improved overall coordination.
Measurable Business Gains (in 6 Months)
- 70% fewer stock-outs
- 50% drop in excess inventory
- 40% faster order-to-cash cycle
- 85% fewer billing mistakes
- 30% better financial planning
- 25% shorter working capital cycles
These improvements helped the company run more smoothly, deliver faster, and save both time and money, while preparing for even more growth.
What Makes Newton ERP Stand Out?
- Fully customisable for different departments and processes
- Easy-to-use interface with minimal training required
- Real-time data access from multiple locations
- Helps save time with automation and accurate reports
- Scales with growing businesses without high costs
