Enterprise iDempiere ERP for a Large-Scale Industry Across India & USA
A Large-Scale Industrial Manufacturer with plants in India and a distribution arm in the USA was running on a decades-old proprietary ERP that was end-of-maintenance. We migrated them to iDempiere open-source ERP covering manufacturing, distribution, finance, and compliance across both countries in 10 months.

Go-LiveThe Challenge
The client had end-of-life ECC-era ERP software that couldn't be upgraded without a full re-platform. SAP was quoted at $3.2M over 5 years; Oracle at $2.6M. They needed enterprise-grade functionality (MRP, shop floor, multi-currency, multi-org) without the licensing burden, and a partner with deep open-source ERP experience.
Our Solution
We delivered a full iDempiere enterprise rollout for 1,200+ users across India manufacturing and USA distribution — with multi-org, multi-currency, Libero Manufacturing, and Power BI-driven analytics.
- Multi-org setup — India manufacturing entity + USA distribution entity + group consolidation
- Libero Manufacturing for multi-level BOM, work orders, MRP, shop-floor control, quality
- Advanced pricing with customer-specific price lists, tiered discounts, contract pricing
- India compliance — GST, e-invoicing (IRN), e-way bills, TDS, PF/ESI integration with HRMS
- USA compliance — state-level sales tax via Avalara, 1099 reporting, ACH/Zelle integration
- Multi-currency INR & USD with daily RBI rate feed and month-end revaluation
- Power BI analytics on a read replica — OEE, shop-floor throughput, regional P&L, inventory turns
- Kubernetes on AWS (Mumbai + Virginia regions) with blue-green deploys and cross-region DR

PaybackLicensing savings + operational efficiency paid back the full investment.
We were told open source couldn't scale to 1,200 users in manufacturing — that's wrong. iDempiere is running our Indian plants and USA distribution hubs flawlessly, and we saved $1.9M versus SAP over 5 years. SCM Software Lab's enterprise delivery muscle is what made this work.
