Transforming Operations for Zenith Manufacturing with NetSuite ERP by Codinix

Introduction to the Brand

Zenith Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. is a mid-sized industrial manufacturing company serving clients across Asia, Europe, and North America. Zenith was a reputable company with market credibility over the last 20 years, having produced precision parts for the automotive and aerospace industries. The complexity of the internal operations increased with the growth of the business idea, including finance and procurement, inventory, and supply chain processes.

Although the company was expanding, Zenith experienced increasing costs, lacked focus on operational inefficiencies, and had a disjointed technology environment that jeopardized its scalability in the profit-making process. Zenith, similar to other fast-growing manufacturers, had been dependent on a combination of legacy systems, spreadsheets, and various other tools that could not effectively communicate with each other. This strategy was initially successful, but as transaction volume increased and worldwide reporting became a priority, it became apparent that Zenith needed a stronger platform that could integrate its core business operations in real time.

In order to do so, Zenith selected a cloud and technology consulting company, Codinix Technologies Inc., that has good experience working with enterprise applications and digital transformation. Codinix's experience in NetSuite ERP solutions provided a good opportunity to integrate the back-office functions at Zenith, automate major business processes, and offer real-time productivity in various departments.

Problem: Fragmented Processes, Hidden Costs, and Limited Visibility

Zenith’s growth trajectory had exposed several operational weaknesses:

• Multiple systems & spreadsheets: Different teams used different tools for finance, inventory, production, and sales creating inconsistent and fragmented data.
• Manual work and duplicated effort: Order entry, reconciliations, and data updates were largely manual, consuming time and causing errors.
• Inventory inaccuracies and procurement delays: Stock visibility was limited, leading to production delays and unexpected shortages.
• Slow reporting and compliance pressure: Financial reporting required pulling information from several sources, making closing cycles slow and audit compliance harder.
• Scalability limitations: Zenith wanted to expand into new markets but lacked a unified ERP backbone to manage multi-location growth smoothly.

In brief, the main issue that Zenith struggled with is common to most developing businesses: the inability to have a single, scalable platform to facilitate complex processes, real-time views, and long-term expansion.

Solution: NetSuite ERP Implementation with Codinix

To streamline operations and enable scalable growth, Zenith partnered with Codinix Technologies Inc. to implement Oracle NetSuite ERP, a cloud-based platform designed to connect and automate core business functions.
