Unifying four factories on one ERP
Meridian Industries ran four factories on a patchwork of legacy MRP tools, spreadsheets, and a decade-old accounting package. Month-end close took three weeks and nobody trusted the numbers. We consolidated everything onto a single ERPNext instance covering production, inventory, procurement, and finance.
The challenge
Each plant had evolved its own way of tracking work orders and stock. There was no shared item master, costing was done by hand, and leadership had no real-time view of capacity or margin. Any new system had to respect how each plant actually worked while forcing enough consistency to report across all four.
Our approach
- 01
Ran a two-week discovery across all four sites to map work-order, stock, and costing flows.
- 02
Designed a shared item master and BOM structure with plant-specific warehouses and cost centers.
- 03
Migrated 11 years of item, supplier, and financial history with automated validation.
- 04
Built custom production dashboards and a consolidated month-end close report.
- 05
Rolled out plant by plant with on-site training and a two-week hypercare window each.
The solution
A single ERPNext instance on Frappe Cloud handles manufacturing, stock, buying, and accounts for all four plants. Shared masters keep reporting consistent, while plant-level warehouses and workflows preserve local autonomy. Real-time dashboards give leadership live capacity and margin visibility for the first time.
The Frappe system we delivered, live operations in one place.
“For the first time we can see all four plants in one screen. Close went from a three-week scramble to something we barely think about.”
