While free trials work for basic SaaS tools, free ERP trials are a different story. For large-scale ERP implementations, offering a free trial is not only impractical — it’s potentially damaging. Here's why ERP systems require a more strategic and structured approach.

You buy something for 100 and sell it for 200. On paper you are delighted with a 100% profit. In reality, you may already be running into a loss, not just on this transaction but on the customer, the vendor or even the market segment as a whole.
The problem is simple. Businesses often look at selling price minus purchase price and call that profit. But in a real business environment, cost is far more complex. Let us look at where the illusion of profit disappears.

ERP vendors are not asleep on AI. Serious platforms have been weaving AI into planning, forecasting, control and user experience. AI will not replace a real ERP. It will replace small tools that masquerade as ERP, while making true ERPs faster, smarter and safer.

Exhibitions are noisy, time-boxed and expensive. The winner is the team that captures clean data quickly, qualifies early and follows up before interest fades. Tuhund’s Contact Forms module gives you a simple, reliable way to do exactly that, with one-click elevation to Enquiry or Service Request when needed.
What you set up before the event

In an indenting model you do the entire presales and the entire post-sales experience while the principal handles invoicing and dispatch. Tuhund manages this end-to-end flow in one system, keeps every conversation and document in context, and settles commissions cleanly for both claimable and payable sides.
What is indenting and why it is hard to manage
Indenting companies handle the heavy lifting before and after the sale:

Sick industries and distressed businesses are a reality across sectors. In regions like Jammu and Kashmir, units in textiles, handicrafts, food processing, agro-based industries and even small-scale manufacturing have struggled due to outdated processes, inefficient management and inability to adapt to modern markets. While government revival packages often provide short-term relief, the real cure lies in structural transformation.

Approval workflows are often treated as a checkbox in ERP systems. You may get a simple “approve” button or a single-stage authorisation. In practice, business processes are rarely that simple. Real-world approvals involve multiple roles, time limits, escalation rules and notifications across different channels. If these are not handled properly, the system creates more bottlenecks than it solves.

For decades the trial balance has been the cornerstone of accounting checks. In manual books and early accounting software, accountants relied on it to confirm that debit and credit totals matched.

There is a common but deeply flawed belief in business that the selling price of a stock item should be based on its cost price. While this may appear logical at first glance—after all, one must recover what was spent—it is often a dangerous approach that leads to lost opportunities and, in many cases, actual losses.

📦 The Scenario
After completing a job order, some material remains unused on the production floor. Users often ask:
"Why doesn't this leftover material automatically go back to the store it came from?"
This expectation, while common, indicates a misunderstanding of how materials are legally and operationally handled in Tuhund.

Leadership That's Missing in Action
Sometimes, the problem lies in a lack of leadership. Other times, it's simply a lack of interest. In some cases, the business owner or top executive is completely absent throughout the process. That does not work.

Inventory is often seen as one of the most complex and error-prone modules in any ERP system. But in mature platforms like Tuhund, the system itself is rarely the source of trouble. Over years of experience working with customers in industries dealing with machines and spare parts, one insight has become abundantly clear:
"99% of inventory issues are human mistakes — not software limitations."

We live in a data-driven world — but data alone is not the answer.
Too many businesses confuse raw data dumps with meaningful reports. A giant spreadsheet exported from the system is labeled a “report” and sent to decision-makers, with the expectation that insights will somehow emerge. This is not reporting. It’s delegation of thinking — and a silent growth killer.

At the onset let me clarify that there can be no stockless delivery of goods. If you are creating a commercial invoice or a delivery note for goods, then the goods have to pass through your inventory. Sometimes they do not physically pass through your stores, but in records they do. In the case of indent sales, you do not create an invoice for the sale amount, but only for your commission amount. There is also no possibility of negative stock physically. Negative stock, in practice, means ...more
