Overview
Pankaj Tehlan from Delhi RMC, Anurup Kedia of Kedia Concrete Services, and Bharat Landge from Bhoomi Infraprojects encountered considerable hurdles in managing their RMC plants effectively. The reliance on manual methods for inventory management, order tracking, scheduling, and equipment maintenance not only consumed excessive time but also resulted in frequent errors. Previous attempts to implement ERP systems fell short due to inadequate after-sales support, leaving many issues unresolved and causing persistent software glitches. Furthermore, the unskilled workforce struggled to navigate the complexities of these systems, leading to poor implementation and underutilization of their features. These obstacles hindered the plant owners from achieving the streamlined and efficient operations they desired, leaving them grappling with operational challenges and unable to fully leverage digital transformation.
Scenario
Manual processes in inventory management, order tracking, scheduling, and equipment maintenance were not only time-consuming but also prone to frequent errors, causing significant operational inefficiencies for RMC plant owners. Despite their eagerness to digitize operations, they faced substantial obstacles. Previous experiences with ERP systems were marred by inadequate after-sales support, leaving unresolved issues, software glitches, and a lack of necessary updates. This led to frustration and a lack of trust in digital solutions. Furthermore, unskilled staff found existing ERP systems complex and challenging to use, resulting in poor implementation and underutilization of the software’s capabilities. These compounded challenges made it difficult for plant owners to achieve the streamlined and efficient operations they envisioned, leaving them struggling with operational management and unable to realize the full potential of digital transformation.
