How a Cloud-Based AI-Powered ERP Transformed an FMCG Brand's
Operations & Online Growth
BACKGROUND
The Story Behind FUNCRISP
Ganesh Gruh Udyog, the company behind the beloved snack brand FUNCRISP, is an established FMCG player in India. Despite a strong product lineup and a growing distribution network, their back-end operations were consistently held back by fragmented technology, a challenge all too familiar for rapidly scaling food businesses.
Having tried multiple ERP systems over the years, none delivered the reliability, customization, or automation they truly needed. Every day brought manual workarounds, reconciliation headaches, inventory discrepancies, and missed opportunities for growth. The team needed a partner, not just a platform.
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
10 Pain Points. 10 Purpose-Built Solutions.
Each challenge was identified, analysed, and resolved with a custom solution, forming the complete operational transformation for FUNCRISP.
INVENTORY & STOCK
Pain Point
"Stock movement from factory to retail store was entirely manual and error-prone. Purchase goods inward required manual data entry per bill, causing delays, errors, and stock mismatches."
T7 ERP Solution
- Factory-to-Store Stock Transfer Module for seamless production item stock management across all locations.
- OCR-Based Purchase Module: staff click a photo of the purchase bill, send to WhatsApp. AI analyses it and auto-creates a purchase draft in ERP with zero manual entry.
E-COMM STOCK SYNC
Pain Point
"Inventory levels between offline ERP and online store were out of sync. Overselling, customer dissatisfaction, and daily manual stock correction were recurring issues."
T7 ERP Solution
- Fully integrated E-Commerce platform connected directly to ERP for real-time, zero-lag stock synchronisation across all channels.
- Every sale (online or offline) instantly updates inventory — no discrepancies, no overselling.
ORDER LOGISTICS
Pain Point
"Tracking hyperlocal and PAN India deliveries was entirely manual with no unified system. No way to process, print, or update shipment status from within the ERP."
T7 ERP Solution
- Innofulfilment Integration for hyperlocal order management with real-time status tracking.
- Shiprocket Integration for PAN India and international orders. Standard and Express delivery options available at checkout.
- End-to-end automation: orders placed online sync directly to ERP; shipments processed from ERP including label printing; real-time status updates on ERP and E-Commerce simultaneously.
LOYALTY PROGRAM
Pain Point
"Customers could not earn or redeem loyalty points on the online store. The loyalty program was ineffective for digital channels, reducing retention."
T7 ERP Solution
- Synchronized Earn & Redeem Loyalty Feature across both ERP (in-store) and E-Commerce.
- Points earned at the physical store can be redeemed online and vice versa, a seamless loyalty experience across all touchpoints.
COUNTER CHANGE
Pain Point
"Giving small change of Rs. 1 / 2 / 5 / 10 at POS counter caused daily friction, delays, and cash management issues."
T7 ERP Solution
- Customer Wallet Feature: change amount is stored in the customer's digital wallet at billing time instead of physical coins.
- Wallet balance redeemable anytime — at store POS or during E-Commerce checkout.
- Customers can view full wallet transaction history from the self-service Customer Portal.
SUPPLIER PAYMENTS
Pain Point
"Managing a high volume of daily supplier payment entries was extremely time-consuming. Manual bank reconciliation consumed hours of accounting effort every week."
T7 ERP Solution
- Bulk Payment for Bank: generate multiple payment vouchers in a single click, eliminating repetitive manual entry.
- Bank Reconciliation in ERP: automatically matches bank transactions against ERP entries, reducing month-end closing from days to hours.
PRODUCT CREATION
Pain Point
"Creating new products required manual entry of descriptions, specs, and sourcing images — slow and inconsistent."
T7 ERP Solution
- Single-Click Product Creation: enter the item code. The system fetches product name, description, specifications, and 2–3 relevant images from the internet and populates the form instantly.
- What took minutes now takes seconds, with consistent, accurate product data every time.
POS CUSTOMER CLARITY
Pain Point
"Customers at the billing counter had no visibility into bill details, loyalty points, wallet balance, or payment options, causing queries and delays."
T7 ERP Solution
- Customer Facing Display (CFD) Screen implemented at POS counter.
- Displays in real time: bill items as added, customer details, loyalty points balance, wallet balance, and a QR code for instant UPI payment.
- Delivers a transparent, professional, modern in-store experience for every customer.
INVOICE MANAGEMENT
Pain Point
"Managing signed delivery invoice copies and purchase bills manually was cumbersome, prone to misplacement, and created audit challenges."
T7 ERP Solution
- Signed Delivery Invoices: driver clicks a photo of signed invoice and sends to WhatsApp. AI OCR analyses it and automatically uploads it as an attachment to the respective sales invoice in ERP.
- Purchase Bills: staff click a photo of the purchase bill and send to WhatsApp. AI OCR creates a purchase bill draft in ERP ready for review and approval.
- Zero manual filing. Zero paper misplacement.
AI BUSINESS INSIGHTS
Pain Point
"Business owner had no quick, consolidated view of sales, stock, or operations without deep manual reporting or depending on staff."
T7 ERP Solution
- AI Owner Bot on WhatsApp: ask business questions in plain language. Get real-time answers on sales figures, stock levels, top SKUs, pending orders, and more without opening any system.
- Dedicated Business Insights Application: mobile dashboard with live KPIs, sales trends, inventory alerts, and operational summaries, accessible 24/7 from anywhere.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Words From the Founder
Discover the real-world impact T7 ERP had on the daily operations of Ganesh Gruh Udyog.
We had tried multiple ERP systems before, but nothing came close to what we have now. The AI Owner Bot on WhatsApp alone has changed how I run my business, I get instant answers without calling anyone. The billing is smoother, the inventory is always accurate, and the online orders are fully automated. The wallet feature solved a problem we dealt with every single day at the counter. Our team saves hours every week. This is not just software, it is a complete business upgrade for FUNCRISP.
