Overview
Akboria, a prominent corporate group with a century-long history in northern Bangladesh, has successfully served its customers with a diverse array of food and bakery products. Recognizing the need to modernize and stay competitive, Akboria embarked on a journey to replace its age-old manual and paper-based systems.
By partnering with Brain Station 23, Akboria implemented an advanced, user-friendly ERP solution to transform its Food & Bakery Manufacturing processes. This digital evolution optimized operations across the entire supply chain—from initial demand collection to final distribution—while maintaining a highly accessible experience for day-to-day users.
Business Challenges
Manual & Paper-Based Distribution: Deep reliance on legacy pen-and-paper documentation from the company’s inception created severe tracking bottlenecks.
Complex Supply Chain Management: Managing the entire pipeline seamlessly from the moment demand was collected up to final product distribution was highly inefficient.
User Adaptation Barriers: Designing and deploying an advanced automated system that could be easily adopted and understood by normal users in their day-to-day activities.
Solution Provided
Demand Collection & Manufacturing Forecast: Automatically aggregates sales order data and transfers demand details directly to the manufacturing unit. It leverages historical data to provide accurate production forecasts, helping Akboria optimize manufacturing quantities to meet customer needs efficiently.
Manufacturing Process Automation: Automates the complete manufacturing lifecycle, from initiating manufacturing orders to tracking live progress and finalized production.
Inventory & Purchase Management: Provides real-time tracking of raw materials and finished goods to maintain optimal stock levels. The system accurately determines raw material needs and automates requisitions, eliminating over-purchasing and under-purchasing.
Distribution & Return Management: Automatically initiates the distribution workflow once finished goods move to the store. The distribution center receives and dispatches products to their destinations promptly. It also simplifies returns by categorizing them into “good” and “damaged” categories for better inventory control.
Sales & Point of Sales (POS): Integrates standard and retail storefront transactions smoothly into the core business pipeline.
Automated Cash Collection & Accounting: Automates cash collection to minimize data manipulation risks and ensure financial records are transparent. Financial transactions, invoicing, and accounting processes are consolidated into a single platform.
Human Resource Management System (HRMS): A dedicated module to track employee data, daily attendance, payroll, and performance evaluations effectively.
Impact
Seamless Digital Transition: Akboria successfully transitioned from an age-old paper-based system to a fully automated ERP solution with zero major disruptions to daily operations.
Increased Productivity & Efficiency: Task automation reduced the time and effort spent on manual processes, allowing employees to focus on value-added tasks and smoother collaboration across teams.
Enhanced Data Accuracy: Automating demand collection, cash processing, and return tracking minimized human error and data manipulation, equipping the management team with trustworthy, real-time data for better decision-making.
Optimized Inventory & Reduced Costs: Real-time visibility into raw materials prevented costly overstocking, stockouts, and production inefficiencies, leading to significant operational cost savings.
Improved Return Management & Customer Satisfaction: Streamlined tracking of returned goods successfully reduced inventory discrepancies and accelerated issue resolution, yielding higher overall customer satisfaction.
