Ghulam Rasool Textile Mills is an established Pakistani textile manufacturer producing a wide range of fabric and apparel products for domestic and export markets. Operating multiple production units with high-volume, continuous manufacturing cycles, the company faced increasing pressure to modernise its operations, reduce waste, and improve order-to-delivery accuracy as competition in the textile sector intensified.
Business Challenges
▸ Production planning was manual and disconnected from sales orders, leading to bottlenecks and missed delivery commitments.
▸ Raw material (yarn, dyes, chemicals) consumption tracking was imprecise, causing Bill of Materials variances and material wastage.
▸ No integration between the manufacturing floor and accounts meant cost-of-production was calculated retrospectively and inaccurately.
▸ Inventory across multiple warehouses (grey fabric, finished fabric, accessories) was tracked on separate registers with frequent discrepancies.
▸ Customer order fulfilment involved multiple departments communicating via phone and WhatsApp, slowing response times.
▸ Financial visibility at the order or product-line level was absent, making it difficult to identify profitable and loss-making product categories.
Odoo Solution Implemented
Corbis Soft deployed a tightly integrated Odoo manufacturing and commercial suite tailored to textile production workflows:
Key configuration highlights included:
▸ Manufacturing: Multi-level BoMs configured for yarn-to-fabric and fabric-to-garment processes; work order routing across weaving, dyeing, finishing, and packing work centres.
▸ Inventory: Multi-warehouse management with inter-warehouse transfers; lot tracking for yarn and fabric batches; automated reorder points for critical inputs.
▸ Sales: Customer order templates with delivery scheduling linked to production capacity; export documentation support for international orders.
▸ Purchase: Procurement calendar aligned to production schedules; vendor price comparison and PO approval workflows enforced.
▸ Accounting: Real-time cost-of-production from manufacturing orders; analytic accounts per product line (yarn, grey fabric, finished fabric, garments).
