Challenges Faced Before Implementing ERPNext with Matiyas Solutions:
Realog Shipping Pvt Ltd encountered several hurdles prior to implementing ERPNext through Matiyas Solutions:
Inefficient Procurement Processes: The procurement process was manual and time-consuming, leading to delays and increased costs in logistics and supply chain management.
Sales and Customer Management: The lack of an integrated system made it difficult to track sales, manage customer relationships, and ensure timely delivery in the freight forwarding industry.
Financial Discrepancies: Disconnected financial management tools led to inaccuracies in financial reporting and difficulty in compliance and auditing for logistics companies.
The reliance on conventional methods like MS Office, Word, and Tally for data management resulted in duplicated efforts, data inaccuracies, and operational inefficiencies in logistics management. This led to a disjointed workflow and hindered productivity in logistics transportation. The absence of real-time updates across operations made it challenging to obtain timely insights, impacting decision-making and responsiveness to market demands in ERP for logistics companies. Additionally, limited scalability constrained Realog Shipping’s ability to adapt to evolving business needs and maintain competitiveness in the industry.

This has resulted in substantial ROI, making ERPNext a highly effective and beneficial solution for their business process about shipment types:
FCL (Full Container Load): This method involves a single shipper filling an entire container with their goods. The container is dedicated to one shipment from one shipper, typically used for large volumes of goods.
LCL (Less than Container Load): This method is used when a shipper does not have enough goods to fill a full container. Multiple shippers’ goods are consolidated into one container. Each shipper pays only for the space their goods occupy.
Air Freight: This method involves shipping goods by air. It is often used for high-value or time-sensitive goods due to its speed, although it is generally more expensive than sea freight.
Impact on Day-to-Day Operations:
The implementation of ERPNext by Matiyas Solutions revolutionized Realog Shipping’s day-to-day operations in the logistics industry. By eliminating redundant tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency, the ERP system empowered employees to manage their roles effectively, even while working remotely.
