How a Road Construction Firm Saved β‚Ή5 Cr Without Expanding Their Team

🧩 The Problem

Before the ERP system came in, things were pretty typical:
❌ No idea where the money was leaking
πŸ“‹ Site engineers doing Excel + WhatsApp for everything
πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ Managers approving vendor bills manually β€” sometimes twice!
πŸ“Š Daily expenses were written down, but never tracked
🧾 Vendor payments were missed, some paid extra too
🧠 HR was a mess β€” attendance se lekar salary tak sab manual tha

Owner’s words? β€œWe were growing fast but leaking money even faster.” πŸ˜“

πŸ’‘ The Solution

1️⃣ Step 1: Live Dashboard Setup

Created a private dashboard just for the MD β€” daily expenses, project-wise cost, dues β€” Real-Time.

  • For the Sales Team:

    • 🧾 See who visited
    • ❀️ Know what they liked
    • 🧠 Get hints on what to say next

2️⃣ Step 2: HR Tools Activated

We enabled:

  • Geo-tagged Attendance from site
  • Shift scheduling for workers
  • Auto Leave & Overtime tracking
  • Salary calculations linked to attendance β€” no manual input needed

3️⃣ Step 3: CRM + Follow-Up Tracker

  • CRM integrated with their vendor/dealer contacts
  • Enabled Deal Notes to track what was last discussed
  • Added WhatsApp automation to follow-up reminders β€” no lead dropped

4️⃣ Step 4: Purchase Control + Advance Allocation

  • Every vendor bill was linked to a project and PO
  • No more duplicate payments
  • Advance given? System adjusted automatically at final payment

5️⃣ Step 5: Reports for Leak Detection

  • Found that time logs were inflated by 15% β€” corrected
  • Found duplicate vendor billing worth β‚Ή38 lakhs
  • Tracked fuel and raw material cost spikes across 3 projects

πŸ“Š The Result

πŸ’° β‚Ή5 Cr saved in 4 months across 6 projects
πŸ‘· Managers finally focused on execution, not approvals
πŸ•’ Overtime and shifts auto-managed β€” no salary disputes
πŸ“² Every lead followed up, vendor tracked, and cost controlled
