The Challenges

Challenges Faced by Egearz

The client faced several bottlenecks:

• Manual Planning: Using Excel to manage production schedules commonly resulted in the misalignment of raw materials, labor, and machine capacity.
• Inefficient Inventory Control: The lack of real-time inventory visibility frequently caused stock-outs and overstocking problems.
• Disjointed Processes: Procurement, production, and dispatch teams worked in isolation, delaying order fulfillment.
• Compliance Issues: Retrieval of paper records was difficult, which made audits challenging.
• Limited Reporting: Since there was no operations dashboard, management made reactive decisions.

The necessity of a unified, automated solution was made very apparent due to both a rise in the number of orders and more stringent expectations from the clients.
