The Challenge
Two production plants feeding 38 outlets. Cake orders captured on WhatsApp groups. Recipe costs maintained on Excel — updated whenever ingredient prices moved, often forgotten. FSSAI surveillance audit raised gaps in batch traceability across plants.
The Solution
UpWon ERP + FMS rolled out across both plants and all 38 outlets in 42 days. Recipe + BOM engine consolidated. WhatsApp ordering replaced by outlet → HQ digital flow. FEFO dispatch enforced. FSSAI batch trace auto-generated. Tally kept live for the first 9 months.
