Manufacturing in the Palm of Your Hand: Success Stories of Mobile Apps and REST APIs with ERP.
Introduction:
In a factory full of noise and activity, workers struggle with old-fashioned ways of doing things. Even though they try hard, their methods aren’t efficient enough. They have trouble keeping up with orders and making sure everything is done right. But they’re determined to make things better by using modern technology.
The Problem:
In today’s multitasked manufacturing environment, the need for real-time data access and management is more critical than ever. We aimed to transform these systems to be as dynamic and accessible as our clients needed.
This manufacturing unit uses manual methods. First, they manufacture the required goods, then transport them for complete packaging, and then transport them to distributors with manual receipts. This whole process was becoming chaotic and unmanageable, and the receipts were hard to keep track of.
Manual processes, data inefficiencies, and a lack of automation can contribute to high operational costs, including labor expenses, production downtime, and waste.
Communication between different teams and departments may be fragmented or ineffective, leading to misunderstandings, delays in information sharing, and errors in production planning and execution.
Solutions Implemented:
We customize our MRP solutions to not only enhance their functionality but also to make them user-friendly. Here’s what we did:
Mobile Integration: Understanding the need for access, we developed a mobile application that allows users to manage their MRP operations anytime, anywhere. Whether checking inventory levels, monitoring production schedules, or generating reports, it’s all available at their fingertips.
This application is also going to be used by the distributors so that they can update the stock and meet the requirements for the new goods can be done through this application.
This application is going to save time for both parties, i.e., manufacturers and distributors, as instead of calls or WhatsApp texting, everything is going to be done with a mobile app. This is also going to increase business accuracy, and everything will be done systematically.
Now, when the manufacturing unit is sending material for final touching to the other department, they can assign them this with our mobile application, and the distributor can also send requests to the manufacturer for producing more goods.
To avoid Licensing costs Only the cost of ONE license is going to happen, and all the distributors are going to use the same mobile app by having different IDs and Passwords. So this is also going to be Cost saving.
REST API Implementation: For integration with other systems and platforms, we incorporated REST APIs. This enables our clients to connect their MRP data with other business tools effortlessly, creating an interconnected workflow.
It can handle more work without getting slow. It’s easy to change and add new stuff, and can also work on any device or system. It makes things faster by storing information and also keeps your data safe while it moves around. It connects easily with other services. All these things make workflow easier and more reliable.
Conclusion:
Implementing the customized mobile app and REST API solution has been a game-changer for our operations. The ability to access and manage everything through a mobile app has truly transformed how we work. Kudos to the team for this innovative solution!
