Client Overview

HOME Made Love is a fast-growing consumer brand known for its premium-quality pickles and traditional condiments crafted with authentic Indian recipes. Headquartered in India, the brand has successfully combined artisanal food production with modern packaging and online distribution to meet the evolving tastes of health-conscious consumers. Their product line—free from artificial preservatives—emphasizes purity, home-style preparation, and handcrafted excellence.

With increasing demand across India and abroad, HOME Made Love expanded its reach through retail, direct-to-consumer sales via its website, and major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Shopify. However, this expansion introduced new layers
of operational complexity—ranging from batch-based manufacturing, inventory tracking, and procurement 
to multi-channel order management and HR compliance.

Initially managing operations manually and with basic tools, the company found it increasingly difficult to maintain efficiency,
consistency, and visibility as their volume grew. Disconnected systems and time-consuming processes began
affecting productivity and delayed decision-making.

To address these challenges, HOME Made Love partnered with KoderXpert Technologies LLP to implement a fully integrated Odoo ERP solution. The goal was to centralize and automate key functions including ManufacturingInventory,
SalesPurchasingHR, and multi-channel order management —bringing control, scalability, and real-time visibility into
every layer of their operations.

Challenges Faced

Despite the fast growth and high demand for their artisanal products, HOME Made Love encountered several operational challenges that hindered efficiency, traceability, and scalability:

Complex production structure with variant-specific BOMs

Each pickle variant had a different recipe and preparation method, but the existing system couldn’t handle diverse Bills of Materials (BOMs) efficiently, leading to inconsistencies in production planning and raw material usage.

Short shelf life and sensitive packaging requirements

As a food business, HOME Made Love needed tight control over packaging timelines, lot tracking, and expiry management—none of which were well supported in their previous workflow.

Manual accounting processes and disconnected systems

Financial data resided in Tally, separate from inventory, sales, and purchase data—creating reconciliation headaches and inefficiencies across reporting and compliance.

Inconsistent visibility and reporting

Without centralized dashboards or real-time updates, management lacked the insights needed to make quick, informed decisions on production, inventory levels, and sales trends.
