Plastic has become one of the most widely used materials across industries and households, driving a significant rise in the demand for plastic products. The plastic manufacturing industry, especially segments like plastic pipes, fittings, UPVC profiles, tanks, and fasteners, faces increasing pressure to meet production targets while maintaining quality and efficiency. With production scales rising, manufacturers often encounter operational challenges, workflow disruptions, and inefficiencies that can impact timely delivery and profitability.
To overcome these challenges, ERP software for plastic industry has become indispensable. ERP solution designed specifically for plastic pipes and fittings manufacturing integrates all operations from production planning, inventory management, and raw material reconciliation to sales, distribution, and after-sales service into a centralized system. This automation minimizes human errors, ensures accurate data flow, and provides real-time insights for better decision-making.
Lighthouse ERP for Plastic Pipes & Fittings is tailored to meet the unique requirements of the plastic manufacturing sector, enabling manufacturers to streamline complex operations and enhance overall productivity. With decades of expertise since 1987, Lighthouse ERP continues to evolve, delivering a robust, industry-specific ERP solution that supports plastic injection molding, PVC pipe production, and fittings manufacturing, while providing flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Fluctuating prices of polymers and excess material wastage during production impact profitability.
Managing multiple sizes, molds, and product variations makes production planning complicated.
Tracking raw materials, finished products, and dispatches is difficult without a proper system.
Seasonal and project-based demand (like FMCG, or infrastructure project linked demand) makes order planning difficult, project management with ERP makes process easy.
Manual handling of invoices, billing, and cost tracking often leads to errors and delays.
ERP software helps plastic manufacturers cut down operational costs by providing instant access to data, reports, and performance statistics. With fewer manual errors and faster processes, businesses save time and money.
The production management module ensures that every task is scheduled and monitored properly. This leads to timely order fulfillment, better machine utilization, and smooth workflow across operations.
With ERP for manufacturing, companies can track raw materials, finished goods, and product batches in real time. It ensures availability of materials, reduces wastage, and keeps shipments on schedule.
Manufacturing ERP ensures accurate demand forecasting, efficient resource planning, and timely order fulfillment.
All financial transactions, invoices, and bills are stored in the system, enabling automated balance sheets and profit–loss statements. This makes managing accounts easier, accurate, and more transparent.
Efficiently manage inventory of 50–60 pipe varieties and 250–300 types of fittings, tracking movement and availability in real time.
Maintain critical item details such as ID, OD, wall thickness, and other specifications for accurate inventory and production control.
Track and reconcile raw material consumption precisely during the production and consumption process to minimize discrepancies.
Plan production based on automated bill of materials (BOM) with resin, masterbatch, additives, and regrind plastic ratios.
Monitor plant operations for periodic optimal output. Automated tracking of scrap, rejection, and regrind consumption in new production.
Ensure full traceability of materials and finished goods via lot or serial numbers from entry into stock to dispatch.
Track stock aging for products like PVC pipes with limited shelf life; utilize FIFO ageing for efficient dispatch.
Implement dynamic price lists, differential pricing for customers or distributors and enforce strict credit control policies.
Include material transfers costs (plant to warehouse) and monitor post-sale installation, commissioning, and service support.
