FMCG / Natural Cosmetics Manufacturing
100% digitized FG tracking from production to dispatch using barcodes.
60% faster stock audit completion through digital scanning.
Zero dispatch errors achieved via auto-generated load slips.
The Challenge
The Solution
The Results
- The client faced significant gaps in tracking Finished Goods (FG) flow between production, warehouse, and dispatch.
- Manual FG label printing and inward stock-taking processes resulted in stock mismatches, data delays, and inefficient dispatch planning.
- There was no streamlined way to manage small packaging lots, automated load slips, or integrated stock-taking procedures.
DDAPL provided a robust software solution integrated with barcode-enabled Android devices to digitize the entire FG material lifecycle—from production labeling to dispatch loading. Key capabilities included:
- ERP Import & Barcode Label Generation for Production Lots
- Excel exports from ERP were imported into the DDAPL app to determine how materials would be split into sub-lots (e.g., 2kg split into 4 × 0.5kg labels).
- Master-Based Labeling for Finished Goods
- FG master data (code, description, tally code, MFG/EXP dates, price, pack size) maintained for easy label generation directly from Android devices.
- Inward Stock Management with Barcode Scanning
- Warehouse users scanned incoming FG barcodes to update inventory in real time and minimize manual stock entry errors.
- Load Slip Generation & Dispatch Tracking
- Sales orders and transporter details entered to generate load slips, track outbound FG material, and automatically book FG consumption.
- Quarterly Stock Audits via Barcode Scanning
- All materials were scanned along with location codes to perform efficient and accurate stock verification across the facility.
- 100% digitized tracking of FG materials across production, storage, and dispatch points.
- Faster inwarding process at warehouses due to seamless barcode scanning.
- Elimination of manual errors and mismatched dispatches through auto-generated load slips.
- Streamlined production dispatching even for small batch lots, helping optimize packaging and fulfillment.
- Quarterly stock-taking productivity increased by 60% with digital location scanning and error-proof reconciliation.
Additional Benefits and Future Enhancements
- E-commerce Integration: Direct plug-ins for B2C platforms for smoother order fulfillment.
- Expiry-Based Stock Management: Automate FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) selection to ensure timely product clearance.
- Custom Packaging Logic: Define rules for automatic bundling or promotional packaging for dispatch.
