Case Study
Capsid Biotechnology: Centralized Operations & Manufacturing Tracking
Capsid Biotechnology implemented a complete business operations and manufacturing tracking system using Zoho Books to centralize quotation lifecycles, invoicing workflows, Bill of Materials (BOM) setup, production consumption tracking, omnichannel communication, and payment tracking visibility. The solution enabled structured quotation processing, streamlined material reconciliation, improved payment follow-up consistency, enhanced remote sales coordination, and provided management with real-time visibility into production performance and operational activities.
Client Background
Capsid Biotechnology operates in the manufacturing and biotechnology trading sector, handling complex product formulations, material batches, customer invoicing, and specialized inventory movements. As client orders and production demands increased, the organization required a centralized system to manage raw material consumption, multi-tier product quotes, payment statuses, and sales activities more efficiently. Previously, these processes relied on spreadsheets and manual messaging updates, resulting in fragmented inventory tallies, delayed balance clearings, and limited shop-floor visibility.
Business Challenges
As client inquiries and production demands increased, Capsid Biotechnology faced challenges managing quotation information, batch profiling, production tracking, payment follow-ups, and inventory reporting through disconnected processes. These limitations created inefficiencies across manufacturing operations and reduced visibility into client engagement activities.
Quotation Workflows
Quotation configuration and status tracking lacked a centralized management process.
Formulation Tracking
Manufacturing recipes and ingredient batch details were stored across multiple disconnected records.
Stock Transparency
Limited visibility into raw material consumption and real-time stock balances existed.
Collection Follow-ups
Outstanding collection monitoring and client reminders relied heavily on manual follow-ups.
Workflow Alignment
Production and sales teams followed different unaligned approaches for order management.
Performance Reporting
Business and material inventory reporting required manual compilation and analysis.
