Client Overview

The client is a fast-growing organization in the wellness manufacturing and trading segment, operating across manufacturing, domestic distribution, e-commerce, and international trade. As the business expanded across multiple channels, managing data across disconnected systems became increasingly complex, limiting visibility and operational control.

To gain real time visibility, centralized control, and scalable operations, the organization partnered with Matiyas to implement a customized manufacturing ERP solution designed for multi format businesses.

Business Challenges

Before implementing Matiyas ERP, the organization faced several operational, planning, and visibility challenges that limited efficiency and growth.

1. Fragmented Business Data

Operating across manufacturing, distribution, online sales, and exports resulted in business-critical data being spread across multiple systems. This made it difficult to obtain a single, real-time view of operations.

2. Limited Manufacturing Visibility

The lack of a centralized ERP restricted visibility across multi-stage production processes. Production status, material availability, and inter-department dependencies were not seamlessly connected.

3. Inaccurate Production Planning

Disconnected data sources led to inaccurate manufacturing projections and planning, affecting material availability, resource utilization, and responsiveness to demand changes.

4. Departmental Silos

Multiple departments were involved in shared production workflows but worked in silos, causing communication gaps, manual follow-ups, and process delays.

5. Manual Reporting & Decision Delays

Management relied on manually generated reports from different systems. The absence of real-time dashboards slowed decision-making and increased data inconsistency risks.

Summary

Rooftop Energy Tech Sdn Bhd, a growing solar energy solutions provider in Malaysia, is on a mission to make clean energy accessible and affordable across the nation. The company specializes in designing and installing high-efficiency rooftop solar systems for residential, commercial, and industrial clients. As a future-forward organisation, Rooftop Energy Tech recognized the need to embrace digital transformation to improve operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and data transparency.

To support this vision, Rooftop Energy Tech partnered with Matiyas Solutions to implement a customized ERPNext system integrated with Malaysia’s MyInvois e-Invoicing framework. This strategic move enabled the company to overcome existing operational challenges, streamline end-to-end workflows, and align with evolving compliance mandates by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM).

By digitizing their business processes, Rooftop Energy Tech experienced notable improvements in productivity, compliance, financial accuracy, and overall project management.

Industry Insights

The renewable energy sector in Malaysia is witnessing rapid expansion, particularly with government-backed incentives and a growing shift toward sustainable energy alternatives. However, solar EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies like Rooftop Energy Tech face distinct challenges such as:

• Project-based billing complexity
  
• Inventory forecasting for solar components
  
• Real-time expense tracking and vendor payments
  
• Adherence to taxation regulations, especially with the rollout of e-Invoice in Malaysia
  
• Integration of CRM, stock, sales, purchase, finance, and operations on a single platform
  

For a growing company like Rooftop Energy Tech, relying on spreadsheets and siloed tools was no longer sustainable. An integrated ERP solution was essential to achieve greater operational agility and compliance readiness.

The Challenges

Prior to the ERPNext Software and e-Invoicing implementation, Rooftop Energy Tech encountered several pressing issues across departments:

1. Fragmented Data Sources

Multiple spreadsheets, disconnected software, and manual processes made accessing consolidated reports or insights difficult.

2. Manual Invoicing and Billing

The finance team struggled with generating and sending invoices manually, leading to delays and compliance risks, especially with Malaysia’s e-Invoicing mandates on the horizon.

3. Inefficient Project Tracking

Projects were tracked using individual sheets without real-time visibility into budgets, timelines, or expenses.

4. Inventory Discrepancies

Tracking solar panels, inverters, and accessories manually led to inventory mismatches, stockouts, and delays in project delivery.

5. Lack of Workflow Automation

From procurement to sales approvals, most business processes lacked automation, causing bottlenecks and repetitive work.

6. Compliance Readiness

The company needed to be compliant with Malaysia’s e-Invoicing framework under MyInvois but lacked the tools to automate invoice generation, validation, and submission.

7. Vendor and Purchase Order Management

Without a centralized platform, managing vendor performance, approvals, and purchase orders was inconsistent and time-consuming.

How Matiyas Solutions Helped Rooftop Energy Tech

Matiyas Solutions took a consultative approach to understanding Rooftop Energy Tech’s business model, compliance needs, and digital transformation goals. Based on this assessment, a customized ERPNext solution integrated with Malaysia’s MyInvois e-Invoicing system was deployed.

Key benefits included:

• Reduced invoice processing time
  
• Real-time validation and compliance
  
• Transparent audit trails
  
• Seamless buyer-supplier communication

3. Project Management & Budgeting

A robust project management module was implemented to track project phases, labor costs, materials usage, and delivery schedules. This brought greater visibility into profit margins and execution timelines.

4. Real-Time Inventory Tracking

Inventory across warehouses and project sites was digitized. Auto-replenishment triggers and inventory valuation reports helped optimize solar component usage.

5. Workflow Automation

Approvals for sales orders, purchase orders, and expense claims were automated through rule-based workflows, reducing manual dependencies and increasing productivity.

6. Role-Based Access & Dashboards

Employees across functions in sales, procurement, finance, and warehouse, were given personalized dashboards to monitor KPIs, tasks, and approvals.
