About ALFA HOSES & HYDRAULICS PVT LTD

ALFA HOSES & HYDRAULICS PVT LTD operates from Vadodara and builds cleaning chemicals for repeat B2B buyers. As a small-scale chemicals unit running single shift, they work with a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and single stores. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Filtration status was tracked via WhatsApp-based follow-ups, so WIP clarity broke during single shift.

Liners shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on pigment blends.

Dispatch dates were cleared before checks for expiry/lot control, causing reshuffles (bulk dispatch at month-end).

WIP visibility without chasing when the planner was on leave.

Earlier, ALFA HOSES & HYDRAULICS PVT LTD relied on planner’s notebook and calls to confirm reaction progress. When priorities changed, different teams carried different versions of the plan. A centralised workflow captured stage updates at source, so WIP moved with clear ownership. The daily review shifted from collecting updates to resolving exceptions. Supervisors started closing handovers on time, improving predictability during staggered shifts.

Earlier, buying for additives was triggered after shortages hit the shopfloor. Follow-ups lived in personal reminders, so receipts slipped during busy days. Requirements were linked to live orders and cleaning chemicals, creating a daily shortage list. Vendors were followed up against dates, not memory, and approvals became faster. The team reduced emergency purchases and avoided excess on slow movers across two warehouses.

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on QC holds. Packing, QA clearance, and paperwork were tracked in different places. Readiness gates were added so jobs were released only when documents were complete. Customers got clearer dates, and escalations reduced because holds had visible reasons. Dispatch planning became steadier even with a make-to-order model and export buyers.
