  13. Intex Consulting Group With the implementation of Intex, all the processes of B.K.S were mapped and integrated in a single software – Intex. The previous software did not cover the confection stage and hence, demands from confection orders were not visible. Now, the yarn-to-fabric and fabric-to-confection MRP was integrated leading to a reduction in excess processed fabric production and a much slimmer WIP position. “This had a cascading effect on the surplus stock figures and in 6 months, the surplus inventory reduced by 40 %. “The delayed sales order value reduced by about 50 % in 2 months.” Mr. M. Senthil Kumar, Managing Director
