Success Story 1

Client Name: Precious Alloys

Industry: Jewellery Alloy Manufacturing

Challenge/Problem

  • The specific requirements of the metals business, such as live metal rates, tray-level inventory, job work accounting, and currency-based client segmentation, did not align with SAP's standard procedures.
  • Customisation was difficult, as adding a simple custom field or creating a new print format required consultants and significant costs.
  • They operated several systems but SAP couldn't bring them together under one unified system, making consolidated reporting and management a nightmare.
  • Sales teams used live metal rates to calculate prices in Excel, which they then entered into SAP. It was frustrating, time-consuming, and prone to mistakes.
  • Due to a lack of mobile applications, their HR and sales team were stuck at desks.
  • Every time a new user was added, licensing costs went up, making it expensive to scale.
  • They needed to track inventory down to the tray level across multiple branches, but SAP only supported warehouse-level tracking, which made accurate stock control very difficult.

Solution Implemented

#Solution
1A custom pricing module was built that auto-fetches live metal rates and calculates sales prices instantly.
2Custom workflows now handle labour charges, approval routing for loss-making quotations, and job work accounting that doesn't hit their books incorrectly.
3Using API-based rate fetching with schedulers, an automated currency exchange list was implemented in ERPNext with spread-based rate calculation for EUR-INR and USD-INR and vice versa.
4Customers and suppliers auto-filter based on currency and branch, dramatically reducing manual selection errors.
5Smart controls and approvals provide real-time credit visibility, strict user permissions, and automatic invoice naming based on their conventions.
6Powerful custom reports were delivered, including COGS, batch-wise profit, metal variance, MSME compliance, forex, currency-based tracking, and detailed MRP reports.
7Inventory dimensions were implemented at tray level so items are properly divided by branch and tray.
8Reliable mobile apps let the sales team work from anywhere and employees manage attendance, leave, and expenses on the go.

Results/Outcomes

#Result
1Manual work disappeared, including Excel calculations, manual data entries, and licence limitations that held back growth.
2Product adoption improved because the system fits how teams actually work, including successful CRM and HRMS rollout.
3The team can see profit by batch, track currency impact, handle multiple currencies, and keep job work accounting separate automatically.
4Sales, manufacturing, accounts, and inventory teams now work in sync through unified operations and real-time visibility.
5Their team can create reports, tweak formats, and adjust workflows without waiting on expensive consultants.

Success Story 2

Client Name: Bullows Paint Equipment

Industry: Manufacturing

Challenge/Problem

  • Unclear Project PrioritiesMultiple construction projects were being run in parallel without clear visibility into which ones were critical and which could flex. This led to poor prioritisation, missed deadlines, and little clarity on project profitability or the true status of active sites.
  • Constant Resource CrunchThere was no structured way to assess how limited resources would impact delivery timelines. Teams were repeatedly pulled in different directions, creating ongoing resource conflicts without understanding the real cost or trade-offs of those decisions.
  • Blind Production SchedulingStandard production practices ignored demand swings, buffer requirements, and realistic lead times. As a result, it was nearly impossible to predict when finished goods would be ready or identify which materials were genuinely constraining production.
  • Overreliance on ExcelProject planning and MRP were heavily dependent on spreadsheets, which were time-consuming to maintain and often outdated by the time reports were completed. There was no single, integrated view of material status and no automated triggers for reordering.
  • No Material VisibilityThere was little to no insight into what needed to be produced in advance, where true shortages existed, or where buffer stock was held. This led to production stoppages, last-minute purchasing, and frustrated customers waiting on delayed orders.

Solution Implemented

#Solution AreaImplementation Detail
1Realistic Project Scheduling with Critical Path & Critical ChainImplemented an advanced planning engine combining critical path and critical chain. Project-level buffers replaced task-level padding for more reliable schedules.
2Clear, Visual Project TrackingRolled out Gantt charts highlighting critical and feeding paths, along with fever charts showing resource load across the critical chain.
3Theory of Constraints-Driven Manufacturing PlanningDesigned a TOC-based MRP system where demand is driven by actual customer orders, with buffer items pre-built and lead times based on real capability.
4Smart Buffer ManagementSet up automatic reorder triggers at item level using clear Green, Yellow, and Red zones.
5Priority-Based Material PlanningIntroduced "Required By" logic that explodes BOMs and sequences materials based on manufacturing priority.
6End-to-End Visibility Through ReportingDelivered 20+ custom reports covering MTO shortages, Sales Order and Work Order full-kit status, real-time material availability, and buffer health.

Results/Outcomes

#OutcomeImpact
1Predictable Project DeliveryProject timelines are now calculated using real task dependencies and resource availability.
2Smarter Use of ResourcesLeadership can see how assigning people or equipment to one project affects all others.
3Clear Profitability While Projects Are Still RunningProject margins are visible in real time, factoring in actual costs, timelines, and resource usage.
4Can Rely on ManufacturingProduction schedules are now built on real capacity and buffer logic.
5Materials Managed Proactively, Not ReactivelyAutomatic buffer-based reordering ensures materials arrive when needed.
6Smoother Production FlowHigh-priority orders get the materials and attention they need first.
7Goodbye to the Excel ChaosDisconnected, error-prone spreadsheets were replaced with a single integrated system.
8Decisions Backed by FactsReal-time reports give management visibility into shortages, order readiness, material health, and buffer status.
9Calmer, More Confident TeamsTeams now know what needs attention, what can wait, and what materials will be available.
10Stronger Market ReputationAccurate delivery commitments and consistent execution have strengthened customer trust.
11Ready to Scale with ConfidenceThe company can take on more projects and higher volumes without a matching increase in planning effort or delivery risk.

Client Testimonial Quote

When we started working with Yagna and Hybrow Labs, our Purchase and Production planning at Bullows Equipment was largely managed through Excel sheets. It worked for a while, but as we grew, it became increasingly difficult to track priorities, ensure timely material availability, and coordinate across departments.

Yagna's team introduced us to a Theory of Constraints (TOC)-based Material Planning Module, and the change has been remarkable. The system provides complete visibility into what to buy, what to produce, and what to prioritize all in real time. Our Purchase and Production teams now work in sync, with far fewer follow-ups and much greater clarity. The module is an integral part of ERP Next (our ERP system).

The implementation has replaced spreadsheets with a robust, system-driven approach that helps us manage flow across operations with ease. It's practical, effective, and has already made a measurable difference in how we plan and execute our work.

What we appreciate most about Yagna is their hands-on approach. They didn't just install TOC, ERPNext a system; they made sure it worked for our reality. Their deep understanding and commitment to results truly stand out.

We're happy to recommend Yagna and Hybrow Labs to any organization looking to bring focus, visibility, and flow to their material and production planning processes for results.

Success Story 3

Client Name: Dawat-e-Hadiyah (dawatehadiyah.org)

Industry: Religious and Charitable Organization

Challenge/Problem

  • Dual-Calendar Payroll with No AutomationDawat-e-Hadiyah operates on both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars. Managing payroll across these varying cycles was entirely manual, inconsistent, and error-prone.
  • No Standardised Payroll FormatThere was no unified payroll format across branches.
  • Complex Salary Calculation Logic (Wazifa)Salaries are referred to internally as "Wazifa" and were calculated based on the employee's year of graduation and pay grade.
  • Every Non-Basic Change Required a New Salary StructureWhenever a convenience allowance or arrear changed, the team had to create an entirely new salary structure.
  • No Automated Arrear ReversalsReductions or reversals had to be manually calculated and applied in subsequent payroll cycles.
  • No Department-Wise or Consolidated ReportingThe legacy software provided no department-level breakdowns and no consolidated view across branches.
  • Non-Standard Employee OnboardingStandard ERP onboarding workflows did not fit how the organisation brings in new employees.
  • Disconnected Identity SystemsITS identity management was siloed from payroll and HR, causing duplicate data entry and errors.

Solution Implemented

#Solution AreaImplementation Detail
1Hijri-Gregorian Calendar MappingThe Hijri and Gregorian calendars were mapped within ERPNext, accounting for variable month lengths and annual drift.
2Wazifa CalculatorA custom salary calculator was built within ERPNext to automatically compute each employee's Wazifa based on graduation year and pay grade.
3Automatic Additional Salary for Non-Basic ChangesERPNext now automatically generates an additional salary component for that payroll cycle.
4Automatic Arrear Deduction in Next PayrollThe system automatically calculates and applies reversals in the next payroll processing cycle.
5New Salary Structure Only on Basic Pay ChangeA new salary structure is now triggered only when the basic pay component changes.
6Email-Based Approval WorkflowPayroll changes are routed automatically to the payroll administrator via email for approval before processing.
7Custom Onboarding: Initiate Onboarding DoctypeA custom ERPNext DocType was built to replace the standard job-applicant-based onboarding flow.
8Gallabox Integration: WhatsApp OnboardingERPNext was integrated with Gallabox to send onboarding links directly via WhatsApp.
9ITS Identity System IntegrationERPNext was integrated with the organisation's ITS system, syncing employee identity data automatically.
10Department-Wise Payroll ReportsCustom reports now deliver a full department-wise payroll breakdown.
11Salary Difference Monthly ReportA custom report tracks month-on-month changes in salary components for every employee.
12Consolidated Multi-Branch ViewManagement can now view payroll data across all 20 branches in a single consolidated view.
