Published On: 18 June 2026.By .
Case Study - ERP & Export Manufacturing

Auriga IT replaced Avanti Overseas's spreadsheets and disconnected systems with a custom ERPNext platform, built around how their four factories actually operate - from buyer order to factory dispatch, with full subcontracting traceability built in.

Export Manufacturing · 4 Factories · India

Avanti manufactures and exports Toys, Hardline, and Rope products to pet markets across the USA, UK, Europe, Australia, and Japan, operating across four factory locations with an annual turnover of ₹202 crore (FY ending March 2025). The business had scaled significantly, but the technology had not kept pace - merchandisers were tracking orders in Excel, gate entries lived in physical registers, and subcontracting ran entirely outside the ERP.

02 - The Challenge

A Business That Had Outgrown Its Systems

Four specific gaps were slowing the business down: no gate-to-ERP link, subcontracting invisible to the system, pre-production planning trapped in Excel, and no way to see order status across factories without chasing teams for updates.
01
No Visibility Into Order Progress
Merchandisers were tracking pre-production milestones in Excel with no real-time view of whether procurement was on track or production had started.
02
Gate Entries in Physical Registers
Factory gate entries were maintained manually, with no link to the ERP. Goods could be received in the system without arriving, or arrive without being recorded.
03
Subcontracting Outside the ERP
Multiple suppliers, multiple job work orders, and complex material transfers - all tracked manually with no system visibility or validation.
04
No Single Source of Truth
Disconnected data across factories and divisions meant decisions were made on outdated information, delays surfaced too late, and buyer escalations were frequent.
03 - What Auriga Built

Five Modules. One Integrated Platform.

Auriga IT implemented ERPNext as Avanti's core business platform, covering the full order-to-dispatch lifecycle across all four factory locations and all product divisions. Five custom modules were built to mirror how Avanti's operations actually work.
1

Order Management and Merchandising

A single Sales Order now drives every downstream transaction. Merchandisers create all Material Requests in one click, accounting dimensions flow automatically to every purchase order and stock entry without manual tagging, and a buyer-wise tracking report shows ordered, procured, produced, and shipped quantities in real time.

Procurement and Subcontracting

Every Purchase Order, Material Request, and Subcontracting Order is linked to its Sales Order so no procurement happens without a buyer commitment behind it. The full subcontracting loop - material transfer to job worker, receipt of finished goods, auto-creation of purchase receipts - is now inside the system, with validations that make it impossible to record a GRN or subcontracting receipt without the preceding steps being done.

Gate Pass Management

A custom Gate Pass module was built so that no stock entry, GRN, or material transfer can be recorded in ERPNext until the physical movement has been logged at the gate. Every entry is tagged to the correct factory gate across all four locations. The stores team gets a combined Gate Pass and Stock Movement report that shows exactly what entered or left, when, and against which ERP document.

Production and Work Orders

Work Orders are created against Production Plans, which are driven by Sales Orders, with source and target warehouses auto-filled based on location. Job cards generate automatically, removing manual daily production booking. Partial raw material consumption, component returns, and subcontracting receipts are all handled within the system with the validations to match.

Time and Action Planner

A full Time and Action planning system was built inside ERPNext. For every Sales Order, a complete milestone plan is created in one click - from BOM finalisation through fabric procurement, goods receipt, production start, quality inspection, to ex-factory shipment. Planned dates calculate from configurable templates and a holiday calendar. Actual dates capture automatically from ERPNext transactions: when a GRN is done, fabric receipt is marked; when a Work Order closes, production is marked done. Merchandisers and HODs see a colour-coded dashboard showing which orders are on track, at risk, or delayed. Automated alerts fire before due dates and daily thereafter for overdue tasks.

04 - Technology

What Powered the Transformation

ERPNext on Frappe Framework, cloud hosted. Zero third-party license cost. Fully customised to Avanti's workflows across four factory locations and three product divisions, with no compromise on standard ERP functionality.
ERP Platform
ERPNext
Open-source, full-stack ERP covering order management, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, and finance across all four factory locations.
Application Framework
Frappe Framework
Low-code Python framework powering all five custom modules - Gate Pass, TNA Planner, Subcontracting workflows, Production automation, and Order tracking.
Infrastructure
Cloud Hosted
Cloud deployment across all four factory locations with zero per-site hardware investment and no third-party license cost.
Engagement Model
Embedded ERP Partner
Auriga operated as an embedded partner rather than a one-time vendor, evolving the platform to match Avanti's workflows as the business scaled.
05 - The Impact

What Changed After the Implementation

The platform went live across all four factory locations. Hundreds of active export orders now move through the system from Sales Order to shipment, with every gate movement, procurement decision, and production milestone tracked inside ERPNext.
Orders Tracked in Real Time
Hundreds of active export orders are tracked in one dashboard across all four locations. The weekly Excel-based update meeting is no longer needed.
Zero Unmatched Gate Entries
Every material movement across all four factory gates is logged before it enters the ERP. The stock discrepancies caused by unrecorded entries no longer occur.
Subcontracting Inside the System
The full job worker cycle runs inside ERPNext with system-enforced validations. Manual reconciliation of job work orders, which previously took significant team time each week, is eliminated.
Delays Caught Weeks Earlier
The TNA planner flags delays at individual milestones, often 4 to 6 weeks before the shipment deadline. Teams have time to recover rather than escalate.
Reports Without Spreadsheets
Procurement status, production progress, and order fulfilment are all live inside ERPNext. Reports that previously required manual compilation are now available on demand.
Zero Third-Party License Cost
ERPNext on Frappe Framework delivered five custom modules across four factory locations with zero per-user or third-party software license cost. The only cost is implementation and hosting.
Client Perspective

Before this, our merchandising team was spending a good chunk of their week just keeping track of where orders stood. Now that visibility is in the system. The gate pass piece was something we had tried to solve manually for years — having it enforced by the ERP has made a real difference to how the stores team operates.
