Solvios Technology, an enterprise technology firm, announced the launch of a structured deployment model for ERPNext designed to automate manufacturing operations from production planning through finance. The model aims to reduce reliance on disconnected tools and manual coordination, which are persistent challenges in the manufacturing sector. Fragmented systems force departments to operate in silos, creating coordination gaps that gradually erode efficiency, responsiveness, and profit margins.
Unlike traditional ERP rollouts that largely conclude at go-live, Solvios embeds ERPNext into day-to-day operations. The system connects sales orders, production cycles, inventory movements, procurement approvals, maintenance schedules, and accounting into a single operational layer. This integration reduces manual coordination and keeps information flowing automatically across teams. Jigesh Shah, CEO of Solvios Technology, stated that mid-sized manufacturers often outgrow fragmented systems long before they outgrow their processes. The deployment model is designed to align technology with how the business actually operates, not just at launch, but as it evolves.
Before configuration begins, Solvios maps how the business actually operates, from sales orders and production cycles to procurement approvals, shop-floor activity, and accounting flows. ERPNext is then configured around those real workflows. Sales confirmations automatically kick off production requirements, and stock levels trigger purchase requests without manual checks. Procurement and inventory run off the same data, eliminating the back-and-forth coordination that previously consumed hours. Production bottlenecks, which often build through unclear Bills of Materials and capacity estimates, are addressed by generating and tracking work orders inside the system. Machine capacity and resource allocation become visible in one place, allowing production managers to see operational status without calling multiple departments.
Inventory and procurement discrepancies, common pain points, are mitigated by recording material movements in real time. When inventory reaches a defined threshold, purchase requests are automatically issued with built-in approval workflows. This ensures warehouse, procurement, and finance all pull from the same data, reducing emergency buying and excess stock. Financial visibility is enhanced by connecting ERPNext's accounting directly to operational activities. Material usage, labor, and overhead are reflected in financial reports as they occur, making margin performance visible any day of the month rather than only at close. This allows for sharper pricing decisions and earlier detection of cost overruns.
The system is built to scale without breaking, accommodating new product lines, additional warehouses, and wider vendor networks through multi-warehouse visibility, role-based access, and modular configurations. Preventive maintenance is integrated, with equipment schedules, maintenance logs, and task assignments available in ERPNext. Alerts are issued before breakdowns become stoppages, managing downtime in advance. Solvios describes this approach as "autopilot," focusing on removing constant correction rather than removing people from processes. When production is planned well, procurement runs automatically, stock is visible in real time, and finance reflects floor activities, managers can shift from firefighting to strategic decision-making.
