    About Kapila Cattle Feed

    KC
    Kapila Cattle Feed
    Agribusiness & Manufacturing

    Kapila Cattle Feed is a market leader in the agribusiness sector, providing high-quality, balanced nutrition to enhance livestock productivity. Widely trusted by Indian farmers, Kapila is a cornerstone of the dairy supply chain — known for boosting milk yield and improving animal well-being across the country.

    As the business scaled rapidly across multiple manufacturing plants, its technology infrastructure could no longer keep pace. Operational efficiency was being sacrificed to legacy systems, and Kapila needed a transformation partner who understood both manufacturing complexity and modern ERP architecture.

    02 — The Challenge

    Fragmented Legacy Infrastructure

    Despite rapid market growth, Kapila’s operational efficiency was held back by outdated desktop applications. Each manufacturing plant functioned as an island, creating critical data silos that prevented any unified view of the enterprise.

    01
    Zero Visibility
    No single source of truth for inventory, sales, or financials across multiple plants. Management lacked enterprise-wide visibility.
    02
    Supply Chain Bottlenecks
    Manual, paper-based tracking of raw material procurement created delays and reconciliation errors throughout inbound logistics.
    03
    Quality Control Disputes
    Manual calculation of price deductions based on lab tests introduced human error and frequent vendor disputes.
    04
    Stagnant Order-to-Cash
    Disconnected invoicing and dispatch workflows slowed cash flow and made credit management reactive rather than proactive.
    05
    Scalability Barriers
    The fragmented technology stack could not support Kapila’s growth ambitions. Every new plant created another silo.
    03 — The Solution

    A Unified ERPNext Platform

    Auriga IT partnered with Kapila Cattle Feed to architect an end-to-end digital transformation. We replaced all disparate legacy software with a centralized, cloud-based ERP built on ERPNext and the Frappe framework, delivering four major modules tailored to Kapila’s manufacturing and supply chain workflows.

    1

    Digitised Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Cycle

    Auriga IT automated inbound logistics by capturing Vehicle Entry at the factory gate and linking it directly to Sales Tokens and Stock Entries. This created a fully digital audit trail from gate to warehouse, eliminating manual data entry, paper logs, and reconciliation delays across procurement operations.

    2

    Automated Quality & Lab Deduction Module

    A custom Lab Deduction Rule module was developed to automate price deductions based on predefined quality parameters such as moisture, protein content, and other grade metrics. The system now calculates deductions instantly and transparently, eliminating manual errors and significantly reducing vendor disputes over quality pricing.

    3

    Streamlined Order-to-Cash (O2C) Cycle

    The platform delivers a 360-degree customer view with real-time ledger balances and credit limits integrated directly into the Sales Order screen. The system automates the flow from Delivery Notes to Sales Invoices, with built-in e-Waybill generation for GST compliance, compressing the order-to-cash cycle significantly.

    4

    Centralised Financial Governance & Risk Management

    A unified Bill Pass Advice module manages all supplier invoices and payables in one place. An Insurance Management module tracks goods in transit against master policies, simplifying claims processing and enabling proactive risk monitoring across shipments and plant operations.
