Our main task was to manage raw materials & finished goods at ease: purchase supplies, convert them into finished products, and sell them. The combination of pricing and product features made us choose Kladana over its competitors.

Kladana is quite customizable and tech-savvy for us. We can set all the processes up as we like in order to follow our protocols & to simplify the daily routine for the employees who manage transactions, and production orders. Kladana is easy to manage and understand as well.

Before Kladana, we were doing everything in Excel. All the stock and production records were maintained in spreadsheets. We weren’t able to arrange timely updates for the information about warehouse stocks: the materials we were receiving, the goods we were shipping.

In Kladana, we found the functionality we were looking for. In combination with affordability, it worked as a decisive factor. Another important area is tracking the amount of yield our company is getting. In this respect Kladana is suitable to our requirements, and we are going to start using the Financials module of the solution.

In Kladana we process sales orders, make sales invoices in pdf, and manage shipments. All bills of materials are stored in the software. All production stages are reflected in Kladana.

We have three warehouses: one for raw materials, one for production, and one for finished goods. We add the purchased materials to Inventory in Kladana, and the raw materials are transferred to production. In production, they are processed in a production order. Then the finished goods appear in another warehouse. Thus, 1,500 bottles are moved from one warehouse to another in a couple of clicks.

FAQ

Food Catalogue

Open the product card → click on +Variant → indicate the attribute (flavour). You may add other attributes such as shape, or type.
Yes. Create a product card for a ground coffee pack with different variants (indicate grind levels). After you make a BOM for a coffee pack, you may start a production order & indicate how many coffee packs of each grind level are supposed to be produced in the Variance column.
While creating a product card, go to Advanced Inventory Tracking → mark the checkbox «Batch and expiry dates tracking». Later, you can go to Inventory → Stock. Using filters, set the dates in «Expire at». If some products are going to expire soon, you can sell them with a discount. If some products have already expired, you can write them off.
Go to Inventory → open a product card → UOM (unit of measurement) → choose ml.

Production Execution

Yes, you can. Create separate BOMs & production orders for semi‑finished products & for the finished ones.
You can produce items in various locations, including subcontractors’ facilities. The entire flow is explained in our YouTube video.
You should create product cards for scrap, for example, eggshells, peels, or bones. If you get some during a production order, you can record how much scrap you got. The detailed info can be found in our 7‑minute video.
You can edit the operation report and write in the actual quantity of used flour. It will also change the total cost.
You can make changes only after you complete a production order → Process Tracking → choose the last operation → Last change → record the amended quantity of finished products.
We recommend that you indicate the reorder point for salt in advance — 10 kilograms, for instance. When you have only 10 kilos left, you’ll get a notification. You may also set particular workflows for automatic purchase orders.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific feature for this. However, whenever you create & schedule a production order, you can add an attachment (a file in .pdf, for instance), or type in comments («Add some notes» field).

Costs & Sales

Create product cards for the finished goods and for all the raw materials. Indicate the purchase price of materials. Create a BOM for a finished item, and indicate operation & labour costs. Then, when you make a production order, all the costs will be automatically calculated, and you’ll get the unit cost of one finished product.
Firstly, open a BOM, and specify labour costs for production operations. Secondly, assign certain production operations to your employees. Whenever they complete an operation, the labour cost is recorded. Thirdly, you can go to Production → Labour Costs. Using filters (calendar & employee name) see all the money each of them earned.
You can use Online Order App — it enables you to make several public catalogues with different products & prices. Say, your wholesale customers will purchase bananas at the price ₹30/kilo, and retail clients — ₹50/kilo.
