BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Despite being a leader in agricommodity processing, Khedut Feeds was navigating a complex web of manual processes and disconnected systems. The absence of a unified digital platform was creating significant operational friction across every department.
Fragmented Coordination
Vendor approvals, production tracking, and export documentation were managed across scattered spreadsheets and email threads, leading to missed followups and delayed decisions.
No Real time Inventory Visibility
With no centralised stock management, the team had no realtime view of inventory levels across warehouses, causing procurement delays and production bottlenecks.
Manual Documentation & Compliance Risk
Export documentation, GST invoices, and eWay bills were generated manually, introducing errors and increasing the risk of regulatory noncompliance.
Weak Production Traceability
Managing stagewise production (peeling, roasting, grading, packaging) and low level traceability was nearly impossible without a structured digital framework.
Scattered Financial Records
Vendor and customer ledgers were maintained in isolation, with no consolidated view of payables, receivables, or debit/credit notes.
Quality Control Gaps
Quality checks at inward, in-process, and final stages were carried out manually with no standardised parameters, making consistent quality assurance difficult.
TRANSFORMATION OBJECTIVES
Khedut Feeds required more than a software upgrade. They needed a comprehensive digital backbone that would unify every stakeholder, process, and transaction across their agricommodity operations.
Establish a single platform connecting procurement, production, quality, inventory, sales, and export operations.
Automate vendor management workflows including approvals, gate entries, GRNs, and ledger tracking.
Enable real-time, barcode-driven inventory tracking with full lot and serial-level traceability.
Digitise and automate export documentation to ensure zero compliance errors.
Implement parameter-driven quality control across all production stages.
Provide management with consolidated financial and operational visibility.
Empower vendor and broker portals for self-service dispatch and documentation.
