The Challenge

GoDesi.in manufactures and distributes traditional Indian snacks and sweets at scale. As they grew rapidly, their operations faced critical challenges:

No real-time inventory visibility across multiple factories and warehouses—manual logs causing delays and discrepancies
Complex manufacturing process—sweets cooking requires precise temperature and time control adaptive to varying moisture content in raw materials
No batch traceability—unable to trace finished products back to raw material batches for food safety compliance
Manual warehouse operations—RM procurement, putaway, picking, production consumption, FG storage, and dispatch all tracked on paper
FIFO violations—older finished goods not picked first, leading to expiry and wastage
Inventory discrepancies with ERPNext—hours of delay between physical operations and ERP updates
No shopfloor visibility—operators and managers couldn't see real-time production status across multiple lines

As we say: "ERPs Repeat The Lies We Tell Them". GoDesi needed real-time operations data to scale without compromising quality or increasing wastage.

The IoTReady Solution

Complete Operations Traceability Platform covering inventory, process monitoring, and order management

1. End-to-End Inventory Management

Complete inventory activities from RM procurement to FG dispatch with real-time ERPNext sync:

Raw Material Flow:

RM Procurement—barcode/QR scanning at receiving with weight validation
RM Putaway—location assignment and tracking in warehouse
RM Picking—guided picking workflows for production consumption

Production Flow:

Production Consumption—track which raw materials went into each production batch
Semi-Finished Goods (SFG) Procurement—capture intermediate products between production stages
Finished Goods (FG) Procurement—automatic FG creation as products complete production

Warehouse Operations:

Transfers & Receipts—audited transfers between factories and warehouses with verification
FG Putaway—location tracking with manufacturing date for FIFO management
FG Picking (FIFO)—system-guided picking ensuring oldest stock goes out first
Order Management System—integrated OMS for dispatch planning and execution

Traceability:

End-to-end batch tracking—trace any finished product back to raw material batches
Expiry management—automated alerts for products nearing expiry
Recall readiness—identify all affected products within minutes if quality issues arise

2. Real-Time Process Monitoring (Sweets Manufacturing)

Intelligent cooking process control ensuring consistent quality:

Temperature monitoring—real-time tracking of cooking temperatures across multiple lines
Time tracking—ensures cooking for the right duration based on recipe specifications
Moisture-adaptive control—adjusts cooking time and temperature based on raw material moisture content
Multi-line monitoring—simultaneous tracking of multiple production lines
Large shopfloor display—real-time visibility of progress and status for all lines
Operator alerts—green/red light feedback when processes deviate from specifications
Production log automation—eliminates manual process logs and ensures compliance

3. ERPNext Integration

Real-time sync across all operations:

Automatic GRN posting—RM receipts instantly in ERPNext
Stock entry automation—production consumption, SFG/FG procurement, transfers, putaway
Sales order fulfillment—picking and dispatch synced with sales orders
Real-time inventory accuracy—ERPNext always reflects ground reality
Batch-wise costing—accurate COGS tracking for every production batch
