RPM developed a solution wherein system provides a list of products that can be assembled based on the availability of components and sub-assemblies; which resulted in quick response to customer enquiries and order execution. Several MIS reports like Engineer-wise production planning reports and Customer wise Production planning reports were developed to promptly respond to customer orders.

We had traditionally been a trading company, so our foray in manufacturing was a new experience which was eased by the well-set processes in SAP Business One by RPM Infotech. The RPM team was quite apt in understanding our requirements at all stages and developed various processes, reports, documents etc. specific to our requirements. Subsequently, our transition from Tally to SAP for trading was also very smooth due to the excellent support and skill of the RPM team. We highly recommend RPM infotech for SAP Business One implementation.
