Chamundi Textiles was experiencing rapid growth in its operations. Looking for a textile manufacturing specific ERP that could address multiple manufacturing types and grow with its business, Chamundi Textiles evaluated and invested in multiple ERPs. But all ERP players not being completely focused on textile industry, Chamundi Textiles ran into challenges with the incomplete solution, long implementation, extremely high cost, time constraints prevented a dedication to training. This lack of right ERP solution resulted in insufficient organizational change as employees still relied on their old ways and were not using the ERP to its fullest potential.
As a direct effect of not having the right ERP solution, Chamundi Textiles was conducting much of its business without using any ERP at all. There was entirely too much data being collected outside of the system and this extraneous, unneeded data was providing inaccurate information to personnel. This resulted in human error. Additionally, inventory control was exceedingly inaccurate and not a single employee could agree on the figures surrounding their on-hand inventory.

Additionally, inventory control was exceedingly inaccurate and not a single employee could agree on the figures surrounding their on-hand inventory.
Driven by the need to eliminate its incorrect data, analyse productivity in real time, prevent huge margin loss, enhance production performance, Chamundi Textiles embarked to find the right ERP partner.
Chanmundi Textile Mills evaluated iTexClouds ERP. The discussion went for almost 15 days which included their understanding about our offering, our team to understand their current system, their process, gap analysis and deriving the right plan. After we got the go ahead from the management of Chamundi Textiles, the goals of the initial ERP plan began plainly: Conduct a pre-implementation audit of process to improve inventory management and maintain acceptable stocks in store. After the success of these two initial goals, we moved towards implementing other modules like production planning and control (PPC), Exports, Job work, Warehouse, purchase, sales etc.
Chamundi Textiles implementation have been supported by a daily meeting with all the participants in these efforts, as well as a weekly meeting with its management team. One of the large changes that surprised Chamundi Textiles executives was the fast and smooth implementation process, efficient training and high control over employee change management.
Following the implementation of iTexClouds, Chamundi Textiles saw an immediate increase in its production planning efficiency, allowing Chamundi Textiles to maintain its reputation in doing business with its major clients. They also experienced a 75% decrease in the amount of inventory variance at its last month physical inventory compared to the previous two months physical inventories due to the significantly more accurate and reliable data that iTexClouds offers.
Before iTexClouds, Chamundi Textiles were not able to track their production costing. This resulted in management losing control over cost, wastage which resulted in low profit margins. By better utilizing iTexClouds, Chamundi Textiles is now having control over wastage, per meter cost, per kg cost which is has helped them in reducing cost, reducing wastage and increasing their profit margins by large
Additionally, they have been able to cut down the cost of human resources by 15% after they have started using iTexClouds ERP. Their end to end manufacturing process is streamlined and they can manage the complete process with lesser manpower with exponential growth in efficiency. For example, before iTexClouds they had multiple heads to look after exports but now the complete export documentation is automated and managed by marginally lesser manpower with high accuracy and much lesser time.
As an unforeseen benefit, Chamundi Textiles realized a cultural change across its organization. Employees that previously resisted change began to demand an investigation of what iTexClouds use can do for them and following the implementation of iTexClouds, Chamundi Textiles saw an immediate increase in its production planning efficiency, allowing Chamundi Textiles to maintain its reputation in doing business with its major clients.
