Case study · Textile
Shahzad Textile Mills was among the first to run on Wizmen, and remains one of our largest implementations — a partnership that helped shape the system itself.
Overview
Shahzad Textile Mills is one of the largest textile companies in Pakistan. It was also one of the earliest businesses to put its operations on Wizmen, at a time when our textile system was still being shaped by the mills that used it. Much of what Wizmen knows about running a large mill — the volumes, the departments, the controls a business of that size needs — was learned alongside Shahzad. It remains one of the largest Wizmen implementations to date.
01The challenge
A textile company of this size runs many departments, high volumes and tight margins at once. It needed a system built for the industry, not adapted to it.
Procurement, production, costing and sales had to work as one system across a very large operation.
Raw material arrives in large volumes with varying weight and quality, and each lot has to be valued correctly.
Production had to be planned and recorded against targets, with costing reaching down to each product.
Finance needed the same numbers as the mill floor, posted into one ledger.
02Our approach
As one of our earliest implementations, the deployment was shaped closely around the way Shahzad works — and much of it became the standard for the mills that followed.
Each department’s process was modelled as it actually runs, so the system recorded work the way the mill already did it.
Raw material receipt, weighing and valuation were connected to production planning, so every lot could be followed onto the floor.
Material, conversion and overhead were drawn into product costing, with variances against standard visible to management.
As the business grew, the system grew with it — adding volume, departments and controls without being replaced.
03The solution
The deployment is built on Wizmen’s Textile Industry Management System, running on the Wizmen Oracle ERP backbone.

Shahzad Textile Mills remains one of the largest implementations of Wizmen, and one of the longest-standing.
A very large textile operation runs procurement, production, costing and finance on one connected system.
Among the first businesses on Wizmen, Shahzad has stayed with the system as it and the company have grown.
Much of what was built for Shahzad became part of the textile system that other mills now run on.
Procurement, production and sales post into the same accounts, so the mill and the finance team never reconcile two versions.

Among our implementations
Some of our earliest lessons in textile were learned at Shahzad. They are in every mill we have implemented since.
