Earlier, Blacknut Agrifood Machinery Pvt. Ltd. relied on WhatsApp-based follow-ups and calls to confirm sub-assembly 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.

Earlier, buying for bought-outs 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 fixtures, 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 job-site plus main warehouse.

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on promise-date accuracy. 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-stock model and export buyers.
