Defining The Problem

We get into all the ins and outs of our client’s problem.
  • Our client, a leading Hardchrome manufacturing company, manages complex production involving multiple teams, machines, and materials.
  • As the business expanded, existing systems created silos, miscommunication, and operational bottlenecks.
  • Production lacked real-time visibility, making it hard to track progress and causing frequent delays and misaligned efforts.
  • Without a structured issue logging system, many problems went unresolved, affecting timelines and team morale.
  • Critical data such as financials, production logs, and customer information were scattered across various tools, leading to inconsistent insights and decisions.

Understanding The Need

We innovate while keeping people's needs in mind.
  • The client needed a unified platform to consolidate all tasks, teams, and tools for structured and traceable operations.
  • Real-time tracking was essential to provide instant updates to both internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • They aimed to replace manual processes with automated, role-based workflows to save time and minimize errors.

What Zealous Proposed ?

Research. Understood. Proposed.

Manufacturing Execution System

Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

We proposed a stage-wise tracking system to bring structure and real-time visibility to the hardchrome production process, helping managers, staff, and customers stay aligned and informed at every step.

Manufacturing-Management-iOS-app

Staff iOS App

Our team suggested a dedicated mobile app to help employees manage tasks, shifts, and updates from their devices, giving managers a clear view of on-ground activity and improving overall coordination.

Integrated Operations Platform

Integrated Operations Platform (IOP)

To unify operations, we developed a centralized platform with issue tracking, live chat, automated notifications, and third-party integrations, connecting teams, tools, and data in one smooth workflow.

The Journey

  • Client Briefing 1

    Client Briefing

    We conducted on-site workshops to understand challenges in production visibility, communication gaps, and lack of issue tracking. The goal was to unify operations through a smart, centralized system.

  • The Requirement Analysis 2

    Requirement Analysis

    Our team outlined a solution with three key components: a stage-wise MES for real-time tracking, a staff iOS app for on-ground coordination, and an integrated platform for automated workflows and issue management.

  • The Development Case Study 3

    Development

    Using Agile sprints, we built and integrated the MES, iOS app, and operations platform. Features included live production status, role-based access, task automation, and real-time notifications.

  • The Testing case study 4

    Testing

    We validated performance in real factory settings, ensuring smooth task updates, quick issue logging, and reliable multi-device access for all user roles.

  • The Deployment case study 5

    Deployment

    The system was deployed across all departments, enabling seamless coordination, improved transparency, and faster decision-making from shop floor to management.

The fight was tough but so fun to crack!

We were struggling with overlapping roles, scattered data, and unresolved issues that slowed everything down. But with role-based automation, centralized issue tracking, and a fully integrated platform, we transformed a disconnected system into a streamlined, insight-driven operation.
  • Managing complex workflows across multiple roles and stages was causing delays and confusion, so we implemented role-based automation and real-time tracking to streamline coordination.
  • Overlapping user issues at the same production points made tracking chaotic, so we centralized issue management with priority tagging and chat-based resolution.
  • Scattered business-critical data across tools hindered decision-making, so we integrated CRM, accounting, and production into one platform for real-time insights.
