The challenge

Chanakya’s operations were hindered by outdated manual workflows and decentralised tracking:

  • Swatches were tracked manually, often lost or unaccounted for.
  • Sample orders required 24–48 hour turnaround but had no unified system.
  • Production tracking lacked visibility into procurement and job order status.
  • Excel-based systems were prone to errors and inefficiencies.

What we did

To address Chanakya’s reliance on manual tracking and disconnected Excel sheets, we built a tailored ERP ecosystem covering research, sampling, and production. Our solutions were NEO, TRINITY, and MORPHEUS. A digitized swatch management system that streamlined rapid sampling orders, and introduced real-time visibility across the production cycle. By integrating smart search, QR-coded tracking, and actionable dashboards, we transformed their complex workflows into a seamless, efficient, and scalable digital process.
