The Challenge

Client & context

  1. Leading Indian fashion accessories exporter needed an integrated supply chain across sourcing, multi-stage production, and export sales.
  2. Required robust scrap management (quarantine & exclude from MRP/MPS) and error-free floor consumption using scanners.
  3. Wanted to automate design approvals and export documentation with Outlook/Teams-based collaboration.

What We Built

Solution implemented

  1. Deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for procurement, MRP/MPS, batch/lot inventory, costing, and export sales.
  2. Configured automated scrap handling (quarantine locations excluded from planning) and handheld scanning for real-time, accurate consumption posting.
  3. Orchestrated approvals and notifications with Power Automate; integrated Outlook/Teams for faster internal workflows.

Impact

Measured outcomes

  1. Full supply-chain visibility with better cross-department coordination.
  2. ~25% reduction in high-value material discrepancies via tighter scrap and consumption control.
  3. Over 90% decrease in material usage posting errors with barcode scanning.
  4. More precise product costing and margin control through cleaner postings.
  5. ~35% faster cycle times for sample approvals and export preparation.
  6. Improved collaboration among design, production, and export teams with Outlook/Teams integration.
  7. Stronger audit trails to support export compliance and future scale.
