The pain points
And how Tathven answers each one
Products, batches and quality
1
A product master that knows your trade
The pain
Licence numbers, shelf life, dosha, skin type and claims such as “vegan” end up in a notes field, and nobody can find them when a buyer asks.
How Tathven solves it
The item screen carries the fields your trade needs:
licences: AYUSH licence, Drugs and Cosmetics Act licence, GMP certificate number and its expiry date, FSSAI number;
product: dosage form, carrier base, dosha, SPF, skin type, shade and shelf life in months;
handling and claims: light-sensitive, cold-chain, organic, vegan and cruelty-free flags.
Item types come ready for cosmetics, Ayurvedic medicines, raw herbs, carrier oils, raw chemicals, packing and bulk.
2
Herbs and oils used before they are tested
The pain
A raw herb is used before its moisture and purity checks are in. An oil is adulterated, and nobody finds out until the batch fails.
How Tathven solves it
Quality-controlled items arrive on hold and cannot be issued until a person with the clearance right releases them, with a written reason. A second person’s approval can be required. Quality-check templates come ready for herbal raw material receipt, carrier oil receipt and topical preparation release, and you edit them to your own specifications. The certificate of analysis prints from the recorded results.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which batches are waiting for a quality decision?”
3
Shelf life that runs out on the shelf
The pain
Products have a short shelf life, and the newest batch is picked first.
How Tathven solves it
Goods issue picks first-expiry-first, and expired batches are kept out of it. A weekly mail lists the batches close to expiry. Batch labels print as GS1-128 barcodes with the batch and dates.
4
A complaint, and which batch it came from
The pain
A customer reports a reaction. Finding which batch it was, what went into it and who else received it takes days.
How Tathven solves it
Each finished batch is linked to the input batches it used. The recall view traces a batch to every customer and parcel it reached. Defect reports carry the root cause and corrective and preventive actions, and a rejected input batch goes back to the supplier.
Production, costing and planning
5
Formulas on paper
The pain
The formula is in a notebook, and every batch is issued by memory.
How Tathven solves it
Each product has a bill of materials. Production orders issue the herbs, oils and packing, and receive the finished batch. A job order sends work to a contract manufacturer, with material issued against it and the balance returned.
6
Herb prices swing with the season
The pain
Herb and oil prices change every season, and the product cost never catches up.
How Tathven solves it
Costing orders work out the cost of a batch from the bill of materials, wastage and overhead. The cost-drift view shows which products have moved away from their standard cost.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “which products has cost drift flagged?”
7
A key herb runs out in the off-season
The pain
Some herbs are only available in season. Miss the buying window and production stops for months.
How Tathven solves it
Material planning works out what open orders need against stock and open purchases, and proposes purchases for you to confirm. Reorder suggestions reach the buyer in time.
✨ How the agentic ERP helps
Ask “what should I reorder this week?” and the assistant prepares the purchase order for you to confirm.
Sales and GST
8
Distributors, retailers and online sellers
The pain
Distributors buy on credit, retailers pay first, and every buyer has a different discount.
How Tathven solves it
Every buyer has its own credit days and limit, and an order is cleared for dispatch only when it is paid or the buyer is within credit terms. Discount schemes are set once and attached to the buyer.
9
GST across medicines and cosmetics
The pain
Ayurvedic medicines, hair oils, skin care and colour cosmetics carry different GST rates.
How Tathven solves it
An HSN catalogue for Ayurvedic and cosmetic products sets the rates by product type. GST returns are built from the tax ledger, and purchases are reconciled against GSTR-2B.
10
An assistant that knows every batch
The pain
Every question needs a report.
How Tathven solves it
Tathven’s AI assistant answers from your own data:
batches on hold;
near-expiry stock;
stock by batch;
cost drift.
It prepares purchase orders and moves documents through approval, each on a card you confirm. It never releases a batch on its own.
