Melodies Distributors

Wholesale · Malaysia

Melodies Distributors serves customers across multiple regions—managing high SKU counts, warehouse transfers, and transport costs while staying compliant with Malaysian e-invoice requirements.

Before Mac Soft, hours were spent juggling spreadsheets and estimating stock requirements. Mac Soft implemented AutoCount with AI-driven forecasting so the team knows which SKUs are about to run low before stockouts occur.

Overview

Project summary

The engagement combined ERP implementation discipline with analytics: chart of accounts, multi-warehouse stock, LHDN e-invoice configuration, and forecasting models fed by historical AutoCount sales and movement.

Melodies gained advance reorder visibility, lower emergency freight, and audit-friendly reporting—without sacrificing day-to-day sales and warehouse speed.

The challenge

What they faced

  • Spreadsheet-dependent planning

    Stock requirements were guessed from fragmented files—leading to stockouts and excess inventory on the wrong lines.

  • Rising transport costs

    Emergency transfers and reactive deliveries inflated logistics spend.

  • E-invoice compliance pressure

    Needed ERP and processes aligned to LHDN requirements without disrupting trading.

Our approach

How Mac Soft delivered

  1. 1 Deployed AutoCount ERP with multi-warehouse and sales structures matched to Melodies’ routes.
  2. 2 Configured LHDN e-invoice and trained finance on compliant invoicing workflows.
  3. 3 Migrated opening balances and historical data for forecasting baseline.
  4. 4 Activated demand forecasting and inventory intelligence on live ERP transactions.
  5. 5 Supported go-live and hypercare from Mac Soft’s Johor team.

Outcomes for the business

“As a regional distributor, we used to spend hours juggling spreadsheets and guessing our stock requirements. After partnering with Mac Soft, everything changed. Their AutoCount implementation is enhanced with AI-driven forecasting, so we always know which SKUs are about to run low and can reorder in advance. We’ve eliminated stockouts, reduced transport costs, and improved customer satisfaction—all while staying fully compliant with LHDN e-invoice requirements.”
