About Aries Alloys

About Aries Alloys

Aries Alloys operates from Mumbai and builds brackets for repeat B2B buyers. As a micro-scale fabrication unit running single shift, they work with a make-to-stock model and job-site plus main warehouse. They needed a centralised workflow to reduce daily follow-ups and keep commitments predictable.

Challenges

Machining status was updated via WhatsApp-based follow-ups, so WIP clarity broke during extended shifts during peak weeks.

Fasteners shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on machine frames. when multiple orders overlapped.

Dispatch dates were dispatched before checks for outside job-work, causing reshuffles (inventory closing pressure).

Earlier, Aries Alloys relied on WhatsApp-based follow-ups and calls to confirm painting 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 fasteners 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 structures, 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. around month-end dispatches.

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on fitment issues. 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 project-based customers.
