About Inspired Lifestyles Pvt Ltd

About Inspired Lifestyles Pvt Ltd

Inspired Lifestyles Pvt Ltd is a micro auto ancillary manufacturing unit based in Mumbai. Their day-to-day work involves coordinating orders, material availability, production execution and dispatch commitments. Earlier, updates were shared through a mix of Excel sheets, calls and WhatsApp, which made it hard to keep everyone aligned. By moving to a centralised workflow, the team standardised handovers, reduced rework in reporting, and improved execution predictability.

Challenges

Batch/lot traceability gaps made it hard to isolate which raw material caused a quality issue.

Vendor committed dates were verbal; delays were discovered only after repeated calls.

Payment follow-ups depended on WhatsApp threads; disputes re-opened invoices at month-end.

Earlier, QC holds and rework notes were kept on paper and were not visible to planning. This broke down during rejections; without traceability, isolating root cause took days and blocked dispatch. We implemented structured stage-wise tracking and checklists so work moved forward only when prerequisites were met. QC marked holds against lots, and planners saw only cleared stock as available for production. The practical outcome was fewer escalations, faster decisions, and dates that changed less often.

Earlier, vendor follow-ups were call-driven and depended on whoever remembered to push. This broke down during peak load—approvals got delayed and committed dates slipped without a simple exception view. We implemented a single system of record connecting sales, purchase, production and dispatch so everyone worked off the same status. The purchase team used one follow-up queue, logged committed dates, and escalated exceptions early. Over time, the team built confidence because the numbers matched what they saw on the floor. The practical outcome was fewer escalations, faster decisions, and dates that changed less often.

Earlier, collections follow-ups were scattered and disputes reopened older invoices. This broke down on part-payments; the receivable view changed daily and escalations increased. We implemented a single system of record connecting sales, purchase, production and dispatch so everyone worked off the same status. Collections follow-ups moved to a single list with dispute tagging so teams stopped chasing the wrong invoices. It also made owner reviews easier because key exceptions were visible without chasing the team. The practical outcome was smoother handovers between departments and more predictable daily execution.
