Case Study: From Manual Orders to Full Automation with Zoho


Client Background

A mid-sized packaging materials manufacturer serving B2B clients across India. They handled everything — from raw material procurement to nationwide distribution.


The Challenge

Despite steady growth, operations were being dragged down by:

  • Manual purchase order creation in spreadsheets.
  • No real-time inventory visibility, leading to overstocking or stockouts.
  • Delayed supplier communication, causing production bottlenecks.
  • Paper-based approvals slowing the process by 3–5 days.

The client knew automation was the only way forward — but they needed a connected ecosystem, not just a standalone tool.


Our Solution

Codroid Labs implemented a custom Zoho-powered manufacturing workflow:

  • Zoho Creator – For building a custom Purchase Order app integrated with the client’s specific approval flow.
  • Zoho Inventory – To track raw material stock levels in real time and trigger automatic reordering.
  • Zoho CRM – Connected sales orders with production scheduling for better demand forecasting.
  • Zoho Analytics – Custom dashboards showing purchase history, supplier performance, and cost trends.
  • Zoho Flow Automation – Automated PO approvals via email/SMS with instant supplier notifications.

The Impact

  • Within 3 months of implementation:
  • Order Processing Time reduced by 35%.
  • Saved 20 hours/week by eliminating manual data entry.
  • Stockouts dropped by 90% thanks to automated reorder alerts.
  • Approval delays cut from 3–5 days to less than 24 hours.
  • Improved supplier relationships through instant communication.

Client Testimonial

Before Codroid Labs stepped in, we were drowning in paperwork. Now, everything from raw material ordering to supplier follow-ups runs like clockwork. Zoho has completely changed how we operate — and we’re not looking back.


Key Takeaway

For manufacturing companies, speed + accuracy is the difference between meeting deadlines and losing contracts. By creating a connected Zoho ecosystem, we didn’t just automate — we gave the client real-time control over their production pipeline.
