Generally, this perculates to numerous transactions each day with each of these business partners is no mean task. Each farmer ledger will have not just milk transactions but also several other inputs supplied to him. Accounting for each of these transactions is critical to ensure no loss of revenue.

Similarly, managing ledgers of individual distributors and retailers on the sales side has numerous challenges. While some of the dairy products attract GST some are exempted. Mandatory on-line integration with the Tax Department’s portal to generate unique department allotted invoice numbers (e-Invoice) and e-waybill etc. needs very careful monitoring and upgrades from time to time. Sales Invoices consisting of multiple products, deliveries needing different tax treatment for interstate and intra state etc. require an integrated financial system without which reconciliation of thousands of monthly transactions before filing the periodic tax returns would be a big challenge. While the market is very dynamic and competition forces the sales teams to be innovative in launching promotions and offers it adds complexities to finance teams in managing them in each of the parties ledgers. Real-time updation is critical to manage the credit risk carefully. Certain timely decisions like stop supplies to defaulters etc. Having a robust financial management system is a bare minimum infrastructure to financially sustain the dairy operations.

Case Study

BRAC Dairy and Food Project was the first dairy company in Bangladesh to receive the ISO 22000 certification. When it first started, BRAC was producing 140,000 litres of milk every day. They were having difficulties in managing different manual tasks and had to do a lot of reworks. There was an unavailability of accurate as well as real-time data which was hampering their progress.

By implementing Vasista’s off-the-shelf ERP Milkosoft, BRAC was able to automate their entire supply chain. They reduced the amount of rework to be done and aligned with the best industry practices to increase production. Availability of real-time data and reports gave them more control over the business processes. Now BRAC operates 101 chilling centres and processes 250,000 litres of milk every day. It has more than 50,000 registered farmers and 1500 employees working in 101 chilling centres and processing 250,000 liters of milk per day.
