Use Cases

Challenges

Printing status was reconciled via Excel-based plan, so WIP clarity broke during two shifts.

Cartons shortages showed up late, causing emergency buys and delays on corrugated boxes.

Dispatch dates were scheduled before checks for shade matching, causing reshuffles (inventory closing pressure).

Stage-wise ownership and handovers

Earlier, Chromaprint India Pvt. Ltd (Plastic Division) relied on WhatsApp-based follow-ups and calls to confirm printing 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 extended shifts during peak weeks.

Shortage list with vendor dates

Earlier, buying for solvents 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 corrugated boxes, 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 single stores.

Dispatch readiness checks

Earlier, dispatch dates were committed before checks on artwork approvals. 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 mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order model and repeat B2B buyers.
