About MAS Solar Systems

MAS Solar Systems is a solar panel manufacturer headquartered in South India, supplying photovoltaic modules and complete solar energy systems to commercial and industrial clients across the country.

With over 100 employees and ₹200 Cr+ in annual revenue, the company had grown rapidly - but its operational backbone had not kept pace. Procurement, production, finance, and HR were managed in silos, making real-time decision-making nearly impossible.

The Challenge

Scaling Pains Across Five Departments

1

Procurement, manufacturing, and finance ran on disconnected spreadsheets and legacy tools, creating data silos across departments.

2

No real-time visibility into raw material stock levels, leading to production stoppages and emergency purchases.

3

Month-end finance close took over two weeks due to manual reconciliation across systems.

4

Indian GST compliance required significant manual effort per invoice with no centralised e-invoicing workflow.

5

HR and payroll processing was entirely manual, prone to errors, and not integrated with attendance data.

Solution

End-to-End ERPNext Implementation

AtlasProds delivered a fully integrated ERPNext system across five core modules, configured for Indian statutory compliance and customised for the specific workflows of solar panel manufacturing.

ERPNext system  -  MAS Solar Systems implementation

Manufacturing

BOM management, work orders, production planning, and quality control tailored to solar panel assembly lines.

Accounting & Finance

GST-ready ledgers, accounts payable/receivable, and automated bank reconciliation.

Procurement

Purchase requisitions, vendor management, and landed cost tracking for imported components.

Inventory & Warehouse

Multi-location warehouse management with serial and batch tracking for panels and inverters.

HR & Payroll

Attendance, leave management, and Indian statutory payroll (PF, ESI, TDS) for 100+ employees.

HRMS Mobile PWA Extension

Built a mobile-optimised Progressive Web App extending ERPNext's native HRMS module. The PWA introduces mandatory selfie capture on every employee check-in, ensuring attendance entries are tied to a verifiable photo - eliminating proxy attendance and giving HR a reliable audit trail without additional hardware.

On-Premise Hosting & Offshore Backups

Deployed and configured ERPNext on the client's on-premise infrastructure. Set up automated offshore backup schedules to a remote location, ensuring data durability and disaster recovery readiness independent of local hardware failures.

Outcomes

One System. Five Departments. Zero Silos.

All 100+ employees across procurement, manufacturing, finance, HR, and management onboarded to a single ERPNext instance.

Real-time raw material stock visibility eliminated production stoppages caused by unplanned stockouts.

Month-end finance close time reduced dramatically by eliminating cross-system reconciliation.

GST and e-invoicing compliance automated from day one - every invoice generated is GSTN-validated.

HR payroll processing fully automated with Indian statutory deductions (PF, ESI, PT, TDS) calculated and payslips generated in ERPNext.

ERPNext runs on the client's own on-premise servers, keeping all business data in-house. Automated offshore backups run on a regular schedule, providing reliable disaster recovery without dependence on local hardware alone.
