Case Study
Capsid Biotechnology: Centralized Operations & Manufacturing Tracking
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.
How the Solution Works
Quotation Creation
Sales teams build structured quotes with pre-configured items and specific discount tiers.
Omnichannel Dispatch
Finalized documents instantly route to clients via automated WhatsApp and Email templates.
Order Conversion
Approved quotations convert to active invoices with a single click, instantly setting payment terms.
Material Consumption
Completed production runs automatically deduct raw components based on the configured BOM.
Payment Tracking
System-driven reminder paths autonomously track balances based on invoice due dates.
Management Analytics
Dynamic dashboards display live quotation wins, production yields, and aging collections.
Automation Highlights
To save time and stop team members from doing the same boring tasks over and over, we set up smart shortcuts that handle the daily paperwork and math completely on autopilot
Instant Customer Messaging
The exact second a quote or invoice is ready, the system automatically emails and texts a beautifully formatted PDF straight to the customer’s WhatsApp. Nobody has to download files, copy phone numbers, or click send manually.
Hands-Free Payment Reminders
To make sure bills get paid on time without awkward phone calls, the system tracks due dates by itself. It automatically texts and emails polite reminders to customers three days before a payment is due, on the actual due date, and a week after if it is late.
Auto-Updated Stock Counts
As soon as a batch of products is finished on the factory floor, the system instantly does the math. It looks at the product’s recipe, subtracts the exact amount of raw materials used from the warehouse, and adds the new finished items to the inventory list.
