To implement its flagship ERP product ebizframe, yet another back-to-back win in the dairy vertical post orders from Amul, Vadodra Dairy, Sugam Dairy & Vidya Dairy amidst several others in the recent past

Eastern Software System (ESS), India’s premier ERP Company offering cutting edge technology solutions and services today announced that it has bagged a turnkey project for complete automation of Ovhal Dairy based at Pune. Maharashtra Dairy Industry evaluated ESS’ flagship ERP product ebizframe and analyzed the ‘results versus spend’ in implementations of ESS and that of competing brands only to find ESS as most competitive and best ERP solution. Post this rigorous evaluation and analysis, it awarded the Company the first order for automating the newly built Pune unit. Maharashtra Dairy Industry also evaluated ERP offerings from large brands, including global majors in the domain, before finally selecting ESS’ ebizframe as the solution for its integrated IT system.

Recently, ESS has been making rapid strides when it comes to automating the Indian dairy industry by offering a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for their automation needs. Rated as one of the top 10 ERPs in the country by Frost & Sullivan, ebizframe is competing successfully against international majors both in terms of price and features. It also ranks amidst top 10 home-grown software product brands from India.

According to Mr. Anil Bakht, Chairman & Managing Director, Eastern Software Systems, “As a new dairy, Ovhal wanted an assured and rapid implementation in a cost-effective manner and chose our ebizframe for its successful track-record in the dairy industry. This is in perfect accordance with the aggressive strategy that we have charted out for the dairy vertical in the country. It is a matter of immense pride for Team ESS to be associated Maharashtra Dairy Industry. This win shall certainly enhance our repute further amidst the dairy industry and make us more acceptable between other dairy brands that we intend reaching out to in the days to come.”

ESS foresees an immense business potential in the dairy vertical. It is known that India’s output of milk and milk products has outpaced that of the world in terms of percentage growth. The country will account for nearly half of the expected growth and total output from Asia. This is primarily in response to the internal demand growth and is sustained by increasing productivity. Given the recent high international prices, Indian dairies have made aggressive forays into international markets and are expected to export 3, 00,000 ton of dairy products.

Prior to this major accomplishment, ESS’ ebizframe has been the chosen ERP at some of the formidable names in the Indian dairy industry which include the likes of Amul (Kaira District Milk Cooperative Union based at Anand in Gujarat), Vadodra Dairy, Sugam Dairy and Vidya Dairy. Buoyed by the recent successes in the segment, ESS has charted out an aggressive marketing and business development roadmap for the industry. It shall be targeting more dairies in the immediate future, especially in the Saurashtra region, which is recognized as the dairy belt of the country besides other known dairy pockets. It will also leverage upon the nuances of the vertical and the resulting customizations that it tailored while implementing the solution at the dairies, helping it attain even greater domain expertise and specialization.

Every day, various dairies collect several lakh litres of milk from farmers across the country, before converting them into dairy products and delivering goods worth crores to numerous retail outlets spread across the nation. This calls for a massive IT environment and an ERP solution that integrates it all, that too, seamlessly. The most important and credible reason why more and more dairies are choosing ESS’ ebizframe over other offerings in the market is its optimum performance at minimal price.
