Enhancing Warehouse Operations at Nash Industries with WMS Implementation

Company Overview
Nash Industries, a ₹2100+ crore Indian enterprise established in 1971, is a leader in precision manufacturing solutions and products. With 11 major facilities across Bengaluru, Pune, and Chennai, Nash Industries serves diverse sectors, including automotive, renewable energy, and defence.
Challenge
Efficient warehouse management is essential for ensuring seamless operations across Nash Industries’ extensive manufacturing network. The company required a robust system to:
• Streamline material inward and issue processes
• Improve inventory accuracy and tracking
• Enhance integration with their existing ERP ecosystem
• Reduce human errors in material movement
Solution – Warehouse Management System
Mazeworks Solutions Pvt Ltd implemented a Warehouse Management System (WMS) tailored to Nash Industries’ operational needs. The solution comprised:
1. Web-based WMS – A desktop-accessible application providing centralized inventory control
2. Mobile App (Android) – Installed on handheld scanners for real-time warehouse tracking
3. ERP Integration Component – Extracting transactional data for seamless process alignment
Implementation Approach
The system focused on two core warehouse operations:
1. Material Inward
• Goods Receipt Note (GRN) Processing – ERP-extracted GRN data enabled QR code generation for material identification
• Put-away Process – QR codes scanned for accurate bin placement, ensuring Green Channel materials were auto-assigned designated storage locations
• Inspection & Error Alerts – Non-GRN materials prompted inspection or ERP action
• Automated Inventory Updates – Scanner inputs refreshed the WMS database for precise stock control
2. Material Issue
• Picklist Management – ERP-driven material issue transactions guided the picking process
• Bin Validation via QR Scanning – Users scanned bins to confirm quantities, with alerts ensuring correct material selection
• Real-time Inventory Adjustment – Scanner updates ensured accurate stock representation in the WMS
• Completion Workflow – Users marked picklists as completed in the scanner app for smooth transaction closure
Results & Impact
The WMS solution delivered significant operational improvements for Nash Industries:
✅ Reduced manual errors with QR-based validation and scanner alerts
✅ Improved inventory accuracy through real-time updates
✅ Optimized warehouse processes, enhancing productivity across facilities
✅ Seamless ERP integration for efficient material movement tracking
✅ Enhanced compliance with structured inspection workflows
Conclusion
Mazeworks Solutions Pvt Ltd’s Warehouse Management System has transformed Nash Industries’ warehouse operations, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and seamless material movement. The solution’s integration with ERP and mobile-based tracking establishes a scalable framework for future growth and optimization.
