GreenTech Manufacturing is a mid-sized company based in Indonesia that specializes in producing eco-friendly industrial equipment. With over 300 employees and operations spanning across three factories, GreenTech faced growing challenges in managing its inventory, production schedules, and financial data. The company relied heavily on spreadsheets and disconnected software systems, leading to frequent errors, duplicated work, and communication breakdowns between departments.
The Challenge
As the company expanded, inefficiencies became more evident:
Inventory shortages caused production delays.
Manual data entry led to frequent accounting errors.
Sales and procurement departments worked in silos, often resulting in misaligned supply chain decisions.
Lack of real-time reporting made it difficult for management to make data-driven decisions.
GreenTech’s leadership recognized the need for a centralized system that could integrate all aspects of their operations. After evaluating several options, they decided to implement a cloud-based ERP solution.
The Solution
GreenTech partnered with a leading ERP vendor and began implementation of a comprehensive ERP system tailored to the manufacturing sector. The ERP software included modules for:
Inventory and warehouse management
Production planning and scheduling
Financial accounting and reporting
Customer relationship management (CRM)
Procurement and supply chain coordination
The implementation took six months and was rolled out in phases, starting with finance and inventory modules, followed by production and CRM.
Results
After 12 months of using the ERP system, GreenTech reported significant improvements:
Inventory accuracy increased by 35%, reducing overstocking and material shortages.
Order fulfillment time dropped by 25% thanks to better coordination between sales and production teams.
Financial reporting time was cut in half, from 10 days to 5 days each month.
Operational visibility improved, enabling management to make faster and more informed decisions.
Employee satisfaction increased, as manual tasks were reduced and workflows became more streamlined.
Lessons Learned
GreenTech’s leadership attributes the success of the ERP project to three key factors:
Clear goals and KPIs set from the beginning
Strong involvement from all departments
Ongoing training and support for employees
Conclusion
GreenTech Manufacturing’s case demonstrates how ERP software can transform business operations when implemented strategically. By integrating their processes into one centralized platform, the company not only improved efficiency but also positioned itself for future growth and innovation.
