TITLE Process Optimization in Material and Inventory Management Using ERPNext: A Case Study of a Home Automation Firm
ABSTRACT This research investigates the impact of process optimization and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation on material and inventory management in a medium-sized home automation firm in India. The study adopts a qualitative case study methodology to analyze operational inefficiencies related to manual workflows, inventory discrepancies, and limited cross-functional visibility. The intervention involved the deployment of ERPNext integrated with standardized operating procedures (SOPs), physical stock audits, and workflow redesign. Primary data were collected through process mapping, system validation, documentation analysis, and inter-departmental interactions. Findings indicate significant improvements in inventory accuracy, operational transparency, process consistency, and managerial decision-making. The study demonstrates that ERP implementation yields sustainable benefits when supported by disciplined process design, employee involvement, and continuous monitoring. The paper offers practical insights for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) aiming to strengthen supply chain efficiency and operational control through ERP-driven transformation.
