Challenge

BrahMos Aerospace Thiruvananthapuram Ltd (BATL), a strategic defense manufacturing facility under the Indo-Russian joint venture, required a secure, auditable, and modular ERP solution to streamline its critical finance and procurement operations. The organization was managing sensitive, high-value procurement cycles and needed a system that could support precise tracking, approval workflows, and compliance documentation, without compromising on operational agility.

The existing process involved fragmented systems and offline documentation, leading to inefficiencies in tracking purchase requests, vendor communications, and financial reconciliation

Solution

Brocode Solutions deployed a fully customized ERPNext solution, aligning with BATL’s operational workflows and statutory mandates. The implementation focused on two primary domains—Finance and Procurement—both deeply integrated to ensure traceability, data integrity, and multi-level approval chains as per internal compliance structures.

The solution included:

➤  Structured purchase request to payment lifecycle

➤ Integration of vendor quotations, comparative statements, and approvals

➤ Budget-linked purchase orders and expense controls

➤ Ledger-level tracking of financial transactions, cost centers, and audit logs

➤ Workflow mapping aligned with defense-grade procurement norms.

➤ Secure document management and controlled access for sensitive roles

Result

BATL achieved greater transparency and control across its procurement and finance functions.

The ERP system reduced turnaround times for approvals, improved audit readiness, and enabled cross-functional visibility into budgets, expenses, and vendor performance.

With the foundation laid in finance and procurement, the system is scalable for additional modules including HRMS, production, and compliance in the future—marking a significant milestone in the organization’s digital transformation journey.
