Inode Technologies: Delivering Strategic Solutions to Harbor Success

By

When CARL BECHEM Germany's India Subsidiary planned to expand their business by building a new production unit in Bangalore, they required the assistance of an expert ERP solutions provider to automate their entire business process. The software that they were using, was limited to only one department and could not be enhanced to handle the entire operations in the company in the new business scenario. Hence they wanted a complete solution which could handle the overall operation and business process of the company and generate accurate operational and management reports. Carlbechem decided to make few radicalchanges to their business, in response to increased orders from the market place, and also from the fact that ERP had become a standard solution world-wide for the manufacturing industry.The company put their trust in Inode Technologies, a Bangalore based IT Services Company that initially did a brief system study to understand and analyze their current system and the problems.Based on the system requirements and future enhancement needs, Inode provided the ERP Solution, which included procurement planning, production, order processing, inventory&warehouse management and quality control along with integrated Indian Taxation module. Since their marketing department is spread across India, Inode provided web based order processing and approval system. Since all the business transactional data was integrated into a single information system, the ERP also could generate any operational/management/compliance reports as per the requirements.

Carl Bechem benefited extensively from Inode's understanding of the requirements and pre-implementation study and futuristic enhancements. Today the entire business process is automated in the ERP system along with the Business Intelligence Reporting.

Inode has been helping several clients in the same manner since its inception in 2006. Inode Technologies is an information technology consulting, business intelligence consulting, data warehousing services, packaged application services, systems integration services and Indian taxation consultancy services organization that envisions and pioneers the adoption of the flexible global business practices which enables companies to operate more efficiently and produce more value delivering technology driven business solutions that meet the strategic objectives of the clients. Inode provides end to end business solutions that leverage technology offering solutions for Engineering and Industrial sectors where business and technology strategies converge. "Our approach focuses on new ways of business by combining IT innovation and adoption while also leveraging an organization's current IT assets.

Superlative Solutions

"We do provide Reporting and Data Analysis tools and services along with Data Warehouse Management solutions which can be easily integrated with any of the ERP or legacy system which the organization is following.

Throughout much of the economic history, competition between companies was driven by who produced the best products and services. Today, success in dominating a market is influenced more from behind the scenes than from who builds the better product or service.ERP systems are now one of the most powerful weapons in the battle to win customers and keep them coming back. By supporting business models and enabling companies to adapt to changing market conditions, ERP has emerged as the central player in Information Technology ecosystems. Tracking the game, Inode focuses on Research and Development religiously on new implementation methodologies or services.
