Industries
ERP software by industry: manufacturing, distribution, agriculture and more
VisionONE is configured around the process that breaks first in your industry. Here is what that looks like for the sectors we serve most in Kenya and India.
Sectors
Industries we serve and the problems we solve
Manufacturing
The problem: Production costs sit in spreadsheets, so nobody knows the real margin per product until the month closes.
With VisionONE: Review bills of materials, work orders and batch costing alongside the ledger impact of production. Follow a representative batch from material issue to finished stock, and compare the result with your costing method. Confirm how variances, wastage and any additional configuration will be handled in the proposed implementation.
Key modules: Inventory, procurement, finance
Distribution & wholesale
The problem: Branch stock does not match the books, and eTIMS or GST invoices are raised separately from deliveries.
With VisionONE: Review branch stock, price lists, credit limits and the connection between dispatch and invoicing. Test a partial delivery, a customer return and a branch transfer using representative records. Agree the required eTIMS or GST treatment for your entities and transactions rather than assuming one compliance workflow fits every operation.
Key modules: Inventory, finance, compliance, fleet
Agriculture & floriculture
The problem: Farm, greenhouse and packhouse costs are hard to allocate, and export paperwork is manual.
With VisionONE: Assess cost by farm, block and crop alongside harvest, grading, stock and export-document requirements. Trace a sample harvest through the records your team needs to maintain. Confirm the units, allocation basis and reporting structure, including any cold-chain or export information that requires a separate integration or configuration.
Key modules: Floriculture, inventory, payroll, fixed assets
Construction
The problem: Budgets overrun before anyone notices, and materials go to the wrong site.
With VisionONE: Connect project budgets, site requisitions, subcontractor payments and equipment costs in your evaluation. Follow a material request through approval, receipt and its project reference. Compare commitments with actual spending, and agree who resolves a delivery difference or a charge assigned to the wrong site before accepting the workflow.
Key modules: Procurement, finance, fixed assets, fleet
Property & real estate
The problem: Rent, service charges and deposits are tracked in spreadsheets, and tenant statements take days.
With VisionONE: Review lease records, rent and service-charge invoicing, arrears tracking and tenant statements. Bring an anonymised lease and statement to check periods, charges and receipts. Confirm how deposits, adjustments and payment allocation should be represented, and identify the reports and approval responsibilities required by your property team.
Key modules: Property, finance, compliance
Logistics & transport
The problem: Fuel and maintenance eat margins, but costs are not linked to trips or customers.
With VisionONE: Review vehicle, trip and customer costs alongside maintenance and fuel-control requirements. Follow a representative trip and compare the recorded costs with the reports used to assess its result. Agree the source of mileage, fuel and maintenance information and confirm any external tracking connection as part of the written scope.
Professional services
The problem: Time, projects and billing are disconnected, so work goes unbilled.
With VisionONE: Assess projects, timesheets, milestone billing and resource costs as a connected service workflow. Trace approved work to the billing decision and compare the result with the project budget. Confirm who checks time, accepts a milestone and resolves unbilled work, together with the configuration needed for your engagement types.
Key modules: Finance, HR & payroll, documents
NGOs & donor-funded organisations
The problem: Donor reports need grant-level budgets that the accounting package cannot produce.
With VisionONE: Review grant and cost-centre budgets, procurement controls and donor-reporting requirements. Use an anonymised grant budget and report to check dimensions, periods and supporting records. Agree shared-cost treatment, approval responsibilities and the exact report outputs with your finance team; a donor-specific format may require additional configuration.
Key modules: Finance, procurement, payroll
