“There was always a doubt in mind about IT adding value to our kind of business, but I am very pleased to be surprised with its impact. I was sitting in front of a client and just by the click of a button I found out the current stock of the product I was negotiating for and was able to close the order right then and there without having to consult my Head office in Bombay.   
A lot of data which is generated through different reports has given an insight and brought up a whole new perspective which helps me  in strategizing my sales effort in my region."
S. Rammohan, Sr. Sales Manager (South)

Solution
N-Tier Architecture with asp .net in C Sharp as coding platform and the database/backend is SQL 2000 to build this application

This Enterprise Application/System encompasses of 4 broad modules:
- Inventory Module
- Production Module
- Sales & Marketing Module
- HR (Human Resource) Module

The application includes 4 masters in it, which are

- Component Master
- Product Master
- Customer Master
- Supplier Master

This system is distinguished due to its Product and Component masters. Through these masters, the user can build and configure a product as per their requirements.

The user needs to add all the components in a product into the masters by properly mapping it with the specific groups.

So when the user is adding a new product to the system, he/she needs to map all the components to this new product. Depending on the group the user selects while adding a product, all the components in the group will be listed and accordingly the user has to check the component which is a part of the new product being added to the database.

Thus when the production people get an order for producing that product, automatically the BOM (Bill of Material) is generated based on this mapping of components.

Since WAM Bombay has standardized products, they build and configure the standardized product based on their customer’s requirements like Capacity per ton and material to be used which is used during preparation of the quote.

“Being so caught up with my production line I hardly realized how much time I lost using Excel as a tool to manage everything. blueMango solution’s approach is quite noteworthy, they encouraged all the users to have their say and kept an open discussion going right through the implementation phase.
The system was built exactly as per our requirements which made transitioning process & adapting to the system very easy.” Vijay Naik, Works Manager
