Manufacturing, Wired for Growth

Executive Summary

FortuneArrt, part of Fortune Group, manufactures electrical products in a market where input costs move daily, SKUs multiply, and customers span dealers, projects and institutions — each with their own pricing and expectations.

With TEKROI as implementation partner, FortuneArrt runs production, costing, multi-channel sales and finance on SAP Business One — a manufacturing business where the cost of what left the line and the margin on where it went are known from the system, not estimated.

About FortuneArrt

FortuneArrt is a Hyderabad-based electrical products manufacturer within Fortune Group, serving dealer, project and institutional channels.

The Challenge: A 45-Year LED Lighting Business on Legacy Processes

Electrical manufacturing compounds three pressures — input volatility, SKU proliferation and channel complexity:

• Costing against moving inputs — raw material price movements made standard costs stale and margins uncertain.
• SKU sprawl — variants across gauges, grades and packaging multiplied inventory and planning complexity.
• Channel-wise pricing — dealers, projects and institutions each needed their own pricing and credit discipline.
• Production visibility — WIP and output were reconciled after the fact rather than seen as they happened.

The Solution: SAP Business One HANA + TEKAI for LED Manufacturing

TEKROI implemented SAP Business One as FortuneArrt’s manufacturing and commercial core:

Production & Costing

• BOM-driven production with WIP tracking and costing that reflects actual input costs, not stale standards.

Inventory & Planning

• SKU-wise stock across stores and warehouses with batch control where required.

Sales Channels

• Channel-wise pricing, schemes and credit control across dealer, project and institutional business.

Finance

• Margins by product and channel on live data, consolidated books without month-end assembly.

TEKAI — AI on Live Data

• TEKAI sits on the live SAP data: stock by SKU, channel margins, customer outstandings — asked in plain language, answered from the system in seconds.

Implementation Journey

TEKROI’s fixed-scope methodology took the project from assessment to go-live through eight stages: assessment, blueprint, configuration, customization, data migration, training, go-live and ongoing support.

Results

• Costs that track reality — production costing reflects actual inputs, so pricing decisions stand on current numbers.
• SKU control — proliferation managed as a planning input rather than a monthly surprise.
• Channel clarity — dealer, project and institutional business each visible with its own pricing, credit and margin picture.
• Production in view — WIP and output are live positions, not reconciliations.
• Answers without a report queue — with TEKAI, operational and margin questions are answered from live data the moment they are asked.

Why This Story Matters

Mid-size manufacturers rarely lose to competitors; they lose to their own blind spots in cost and channel margin. FortuneArrt shows SAP Business One closing exactly those gaps.
