Case Study · Live deployment

One platform. Every department. The entire order lifecycle.

For Pranav Doors & Windows, we replaced registers, spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with a single live workflow platform — from the first enquiry to the signed handover document.

The problem

An order's life was scattered everywhere.

Pranav Doors & Windows is a premium doors-and-windows manufacturer. Before the platform, an order's life was scattered: enquiries in notebooks, quotations in Excel, approvals over calls, factory status on whiteboards. Projects combining more than one product line were the hardest — one series would stall while another moved, and nobody had one honest picture of a project.

01

No single source of truth

Enquiries in notebooks, quotations in Excel, approvals over calls, factory status on whiteboards. Every department kept its own records — and none of them agreed.

02

Product lines tangled together

A home ordering aluminium and uPVC together was the worst case: a delay in one product line hid the progress of the others. Nobody had one honest picture of a project.

03

No accountability trail

Who did what, when, and how long it took was unrecoverable. When something slipped, there was no record to learn from — only memory.

The solution

Five ideas the platform is built on.

Every product line moves on its own

Each project tracks aluminium, uPVC, and premium series as separate parallel pipelines. One series can be in production while another is still in quotation — each with its own progress bar, documents, and approvals.

Work moves through gates

An order can only move forward through defined checkpoints — quotation, client approval, accounts verification, drawings, sales order, payments, materials, finishing, production, dispatch, installation, closure. Every gate is recorded with who and when.

A screen for every role

Twelve tailored dashboards — each department sees exactly its own queue and nothing else, including five focused views for the production floor itself.

Everything is a document

Drawings, quotations, signed orders, material lists, challans, gate passes, handover papers — uploaded once, named consistently, and visible to every stage that needs them.

Live by default

Every screen in the company updates in real time. When we ship an improvement, every open screen upgrades itself within seconds — nobody works on a stale view.

The order journey

From first enquiry to signed handover.

Fourteen stages, every one gated and recorded — this is the actual path an order takes through the platform.

  1. Stage 01

    Enquiry

    Sales logs the client, source, architect, and chosen product series into their own pipeline.

  2. Stage 02

    Presentation & site visits

    Visits are checked in at the client's site with location and photos; every remark is saved against the enquiry.

  3. Stage 03

    Project creation

    One click turns an enquiry into a project — managers can watch its progress from day one.

  4. Stage 04

    Drawings & estimation

    Supporting documents go to the estimation team, series by series.

  5. Stage 05

    Quotation

    Per-series quotations with a full cost breakup — material, glass, installation, freight, packaging — with every revision kept.

  6. Stage 06

    Negotiation & verification

    Sales records the final negotiated value and discount; accounts verifies the quote, signed documents, and token payment.

  7. Stage 07

    Position drawings

    Engineering assigns site engineers and uploads site measurements — unlocking the sales order.

  8. Stage 08

    Sales order

    Versioned per series, with finish planning and the client-signed order captured.

  9. Stage 09

    Payment milestone

    Verified once at project level — unlocking materials and production paperwork in parallel.

  10. Stage 10

    Materials & procurement

    Every material — profile, glass, hardware, mesh — tracked per series and per batch, from requirement list to signed purchase order to receipt.

  11. Stage 11

    Surface finishing

    Powder coating and anodising per batch, with quality checks and mandatory challans before release to production.

  12. Stage 12

    Production floor

    Gate passes for every batch, production start to finish, quality approval, and dispatch with documents.

  13. Stage 13

    Site installation

    Unloading, five tracked installation milestones, and the final handover with a signed document.

  14. Stage 14

    Closure

    Final payment verified and each series closed by accounts — the project completes only when every series is done.

What the platform does

Built for the office, the floor, and the customer.

Sales & pipeline

Enquiry-first sales flow

Every salesperson runs their own enquiry pipeline — presentation remarks, linked site visits, convert to project, or mark lost with a reason. Nothing is ever deleted; everything stays reportable.

Site visits with location & photos

Check-in and check-out at client sites, linked to enquiries and projects, exportable to Excel with photo links.

Architect relationship insights

Every architect's enquiries, visits, win rate, and pipeline in one place — for sales, marketing, and management.

Money & reporting

Active pipeline report

For every quoted project: the list value, the negotiated value, and the discount floor — with the differences between all three. Filter by salesperson, stage, or month; export to Excel with full revision history.

Sales targets & incentives

Monthly targets per salesperson, achievement tracked from verified values, and incentives computed automatically.

Turnaround tracking

Every task has a time target. When something runs late, the reason is captured at that moment — so delays are visible and explainable, not forgotten.

Factory & operations

Five production-floor roles

Profile pass, hardware pass, production, quality, and dispatch — each a focused screen over its own work units, with mandatory gate-pass documents.

Surface-finish management

Powder coating and anodising run as their own batches, with quality loops and challans required before anything returns to production.

Material tracking for procurement

Every material tracked per series and per batch — requirement lists, signed purchase orders, vendor approvals, stock-versus-purchase splits, and receipt confirmation.

Trust & visibility

Progress bars everywhere

An 11-stage tracker per product line on every project, and a 6-stage tracker on every enquiry — anyone can see exactly where things stand.

A permanent history of everything

Every action records who did it and when. Nothing is overwritten — versions accumulate, so the history is always truthful.

A tracker for the customer too

Clients can follow their own order's status on a phone-verified page — no login, no phone calls to the office.

Rollout timeline

Phased rollout, never a big-bang deploy.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery on the floor

    Days with the operators — design desk, dispatch yard, site visits. We mapped the real workflow before writing a line of code.

  2. Week 2

    Quotation module live

    The revenue engine moved first: per-series quotations with full cost breakups and versioned revisions — in production within days.

  3. Week 3

    Sales pipeline live

    Enquiries, site visits, negotiation, and accounts verification went live across the sales team.

  4. Week 4

    Production, dispatch & installation live

    Gate passes on the shop floor, surface finishing, dispatch, and site installation closed the loop — full deployment inside a month.

  5. Ongoing

    Evolving with the business

    Reports, targets, the customer tracker, and refinements from the floor — the platform keeps growing as Pranav grows.

The result

What changed for Pranav Doors.

  • One live source of truth across all 10 departments — no more parallel registers.
  • Multi-series projects finally move independently; a stalled series no longer hides the others.
  • Management sees the full pipeline — every enquiry, every value, every stage — in real time, with exportable reports.
  • Every rupee of negotiated discount and every turnaround delay is now visible and attributable.
  • The factory floor runs on gate passes and challans instead of verbal handoffs.

ArchFlow builds this depth of workflow for one company at a time.

Yours could be next.
