Kamp Feed is a leading Ugandan manufacturer and distributor of quality animal feeds, serving customers through multiple sales branches. As the business expanded, managing manufacturing, inventory, sales, procurement, finance, and branch operations using disconnected systems became increasingly challenging. To support sustainable growth and improve operational visibility, Kamp Feed partnered with Techwise Solutions to implement a fully integrated ERPNext solution complemented by a custom mobile sales application.

Challenges Before ERPNext

As operations grew across multiple locations, Kamp Feed encountered several business challenges:

1. Limited Visibility Across Branches

• Sales from different branches were difficult to monitor in real time.
• Management relied on delayed reports to measure branch performance.
• Stock transfers between branches lacked full visibility.

2. Manual Manufacturing Processes

• Production planning and material consumption were managed manually.
• Tracking raw materials and finished goods was time-consuming.
• Manufacturing costs were difficult to monitor accurately.

3. Inventory Management Challenges

• Inaccurate stock balances occasionally led to stock shortages or overstocking.
• Warehouse movements were manually recorded.
• Limited traceability of inventory across locations.

4. Financial and Procurement Inefficiencies

• Purchasing approvals and supplier management were largely manual.
• Financial reporting required significant manual reconciliation.
• Business decisions were based on outdated information.
