Quick Snapshot

A global chemical manufacturer faced significant challenges with its SAP ERP implementation delays, high costs, inflexible workflows, and poor user adoption. Partnering with Technostacks, the company transitioned to a Zoho-powered ecosystem with Zoho Creator at its foundation. The result: quick deployment, AI-enabled automation, and complete operational visibility.

Brief

Despite years of investing in SAP, the chemical manufacturer struggled with customization delays and rigid workflows. Costs kept rising, upgrades required heavy spend, and integration with newer tools was cumbersome. Complex interfaces also slowed user adoption and limited timely decision-making.

Technostacks implemented Zoho One with Zoho Creator at the core to streamline operations, enable QR-based product tracking, and embed AI-driven decision-making across manufacturing, procurement, and finance.

Challenges

Multi-Year SAP Rollout Still Incomplete

The ERP implementation stretched over years without reaching a functional stage, delaying business transformation.

High Vendor Dependence for Customization

Even minor changes required costly vendor involvement, making the system rigid and slow to adapt.

Rigid Workflows Without QR-Based Tracking

SAP’s structure couldn’t support essential requirements such as QR-enabled goods movement inside the plant.

Escalating Licensing and Consulting Costs

Ongoing fees for licenses and consultants continued to inflate operational expenses with little return on investment.

Complex UI Limiting User Adoption

Non-technical staff found SAP’s interface difficult, resulting in poor adoption and low productivity gains.

Solution

Technostacks designed and deployed Zoho One across sales, finance, production, procurement, and customer service. Our certified Zoho developers used Zoho Creator as the foundation for custom workflows such as QR-code-based goods movement, BOM management, production planning, and predictive procurement.

AI capabilities embedded within Zoho CRM, Desk, Books, and Analytics powered forecasting, anomaly detection, invoice automation, and customer sentiment analysis—enabling smarter and faster business decisions.
