AI will not replace ERP — it will supercharge it

ERP vendors are not asleep on AI. Serious platforms have been weaving AI into planning, forecasting, control and user experience. AI will not replace a real ERP. It will replace small tools that masquerade as ERP, while making true ERPs faster, smarter and safer.

Indenting Business on Tuhund: One Flow from Inquiry to Commission

In an indenting model you do the entire presales and the entire post-sales experience while the principal handles invoicing and dispatch. Tuhund manages this end-to-end flow in one system, keeps every conversation and document in context, and settles commissions cleanly for both claimable and payable sides.


What is indenting and why it is hard to manage

Indenting companies handle the heavy lifting before and after the sale:

Reviving Sick Industries with Tuhund – Technology as a Lifeline for Troubled Businesses

Sick industries and distressed businesses are a reality across sectors. In regions like Jammu and Kashmir, units in textiles, handicrafts, food processing, agro-based industries and even small-scale manufacturing have struggled due to outdated processes, inefficient management and inability to adapt to modern markets. While government revival packages often provide short-term relief, the real cure lies in structural transformation.

Project Management in ERP – Beyond Stand-Alone Tools

Project management is one of the most critical activities in any organisation, whether it involves delivering client projects, managing production jobs or running large-scale internal initiatives. For decades, businesses have relied on specialised tools such as Microsoft Project and Primavera. These tools are excellent for scheduling, resource allocation and monitoring at the project manager level.

Approval Workflows That Actually Work

Approval workflows are often treated as a checkbox in ERP systems. You may get a simple “approve” button or a single-stage authorisation. In practice, business processes are rarely that simple. Real-world approvals involve multiple roles, time limits, escalation rules and notifications across different channels. If these are not handled properly, the system creates more bottlenecks than it solves.

The Myth of ERP–CRM Integration and Why Tuhund Does It Differently

Enterprise software buyers are often told they can “have it all” by combining an ERP system with a separate CRM. On paper, this sounds appealing: the ERP handles finance, procurement and operations while the CRM manages leads, opportunities and customer relationships. Vendors promise smooth data flow between the two.

Why Trial Balance is Redundant in a Modern ERP

For decades the trial balance has been the cornerstone of accounting checks. In manual books and early accounting software, accountants relied on it to confirm that debit and credit totals matched. If the trial balance tallied, books were considered reliable; if not errors had to be traced manually.

Stop Pricing Based on Cost: Why Your Inventory Strategy Might Be Costing You

There is a common but deeply flawed belief in business that the selling price of a stock item should be based on its cost price. While this may appear logical at first glance—after all, one must recover what was spent—it is often a dangerous approach that leads to lost opportunities and, in many cases, actual losses.

Why Leftover Material After Job Order Completion Doesn't Automatically Return to the Store

📦 The Scenario

After completing a job order, some material remains unused on the production floor. Users often ask:

"Why doesn't this leftover material automatically go back to the store it came from?"

This expectation, while common, indicates a misunderstanding of how materials are legally and operationally handled in Tuhund.

When Business Owners Themselves Become the Biggest Obstacle in ERP Implementation

ERP implementation challenges often begin at the top. Here's why leadership matters more than most realise.

Leadership That's Missing in Action

Sometimes, the problem lies in a lack of leadership. Other times, it's simply a lack of interest. In some cases, the business owner or top executive is completely absent throughout the process. That does not work.

Inventory Challenges in ERP: It's Not the System — It's the Human Factor

Inventory is often seen as one of the most complex and error-prone modules in any ERP system. But in mature platforms like Tuhund, the system itself is rarely the source of trouble. Over years of experience working with customers in industries dealing with machines and spare parts, one insight has become abundantly clear:

"99% of inventory issues are human mistakes — not software limitations."

If You Call Raw Data a Report, You Will Never Grow

We live in a data-driven world — but data alone is not the answer.

Too many businesses confuse raw data dumps with meaningful reports. A giant spreadsheet exported from the system is labeled a “report” and sent to decision-makers, with the expectation that insights will somehow emerge. This is not reporting. It’s delegation of thinking — and a silent growth killer.

Why Email Inside an ERP Has Always Been a Game Changer — A Look at Tuhund

Email has long been one of the most critical communication tools in business. Yet in many companies, it remains outside the core business system. Quotations are emailed from personal accounts, follow-ups are tracked manually and key conversations get lost across disconnected inboxes. This disconnection causes delays, miscommunication and poor accountability.

Concept and reason for stockless delivery function in Tuhund

At the onset let me clarify that there can be no stockless delivery of goods. If you are creating a commercial invoice or a delivery note for goods, then the goods have to pass through your inventory. Sometimes they do not physically pass through your stores, but in records they do. In the case of indent sales, you do not create an invoice for the sale amount, but only for your commission amount. There is also no possibility of negative stock physically. Negative stock, in practice, means     ...more

Recurring expenses fall under several categories based on fixed or variable amounts and availability or non availability of invoice numbers, etc. Scheduled Expenses module in Tuhund ERP lets you automate entry of these expenses, auto-completed till a predefined stage.
