A diversified manufacturer.
Heavy engineering & manufacturing — anonymised case study. Sector and outcomes are real; client name withheld.
What the customer was facing.
A diversified manufacturer ran three SKUs of business across eight plants, each generating thousands of invoices per day. GST e-invoicing and e-way bill compliance was being held together by a controller’s team spending two-thirds of every month on reconciliation. The penalty exposure was real; the burnout was visible; the existing tax tooling had not been wired correctly to the ERP.
The approach we ran.
We rebuilt the compliance pipeline on Smelter — ERP as the source of truth, ClearTax for IRN generation, automated e-way bill issuance, and a reconciliation layer that flagged exceptions to a queue rather than an inbox. Per-plant dashboards gave the corporate tax team a single view; failure-mode monitoring caught portal outages before the morning report.
