Symbiate on Zoho ERP

The challenge

Growing past what the accounting system could track

As production grew, Symbiate needed more than accounting. The accounting system had no batch tracking for raw materials, packing materials or finished goods. Stock moved between the store, the production floor and the finished-goods area by hand, all in one warehouse, and nobody could see the true cost of a production run.

The solution

Five things we built

01

Batch setup for RM, PM & FG

The accounting system had no batch tracking. During migration we set up batches for every raw material, packing material and finished good — with opening stock, expiry and batch history carried over cleanly.

  • Batch-wise opening stock
  • Expiry & manufacturing dates
  • Full traceability from RM to FG
02

Transfer order automation

Stock now moves on its own: from the store to the production floor when a job starts, and from the production floor to the FG warehouse when output is recorded.

  • Store → Production auto-transfer
  • Production → FG warehouse auto-transfer
  • No manual stock entries
03

Separate warehouses

Four dedicated warehouses — RM, PM, Production and FG — so the team always knows what stock is where, and what stage it's in.

  • RM warehouse
  • PM warehouse
  • Production & FG warehouses
04

Costing per production

Every production run is costed: materials, packing, labour and overheads roll up into a clear cost per batch and per unit.

  • Cost per batch & per unit
  • Material + labour + overheads
  • Margin visibility per product
05

Notification workflows

The right people are alerted at the right time — low stock, pending approvals, transfers completed and batches nearing expiry.

  • Low-stock & reorder alerts
  • Approval reminders
  • Expiry warnings
