For manufacturers
Know what's being made, what's stuck and what's been paid for — without walking the shop floor.
A typical ₹20–200 crore manufacturer runs accounts on Tally, production plans in Excel, purchase approvals on WhatsApp and dispatch on paper. Each works; together they leave the owner as the only person who knows the full picture. We connect them so the picture is on a screen instead.
Questions you'll answer in seconds
- “Which orders will miss their delivery date this week?”
- “What raw material will run short based on open orders?”
- “How much material is pending with job workers, and since when?”
- “Which customers are overdue and still placing orders?”
Typical: Auto components, engineering, chemicals, packaging, textiles, electronics, plastics
The day-to-day
Where manufacturers lose time and money
Order status lives in people's heads
A customer asks where their order is. Sales calls planning, planning calls the floor, and the answer takes an hour.
Raw material shortages are discovered late
Stock in Tally doesn't reflect material issued to production, so shortages surface when a machine is waiting.
Job work is hard to track
Material sent to job workers on challans is tracked in a register; reconciling returns and pending quantities is manual.
Plant attendance and overtime are compiled monthly
Biometric exports, supervisor registers and advances are combined in Excel before payroll.
Workflows
Before and after, workflow by workflow
Each workflow is connected and automated separately — your team keeps working while the next one is set up.
Customer order status
Today:Calls between sales, planning and the floor to answer “when will it ship?”
After:Order stage visible to sales — material ready, in production, QC, ready to dispatch — updated by supervisors on mobile.
Raw material planning
Today:Purchase decisions based on the store keeper's estimate.
After:Material requirement from open orders compared with stock, with shortages raised as purchase requests.
Job work challans
Today:Paper register of material sent and received from job workers.
After:Challan-wise pending quantities by job worker, with ageing — supporting the records you need for GST job-work compliance.
Dispatch and invoicing
Today:Dispatch informs accounts by phone; invoice raised the next day.
After:Dispatch confirmed on mobile; invoice draft created in Tally the same hour.

FAQ
Questions from manufacturers
Is this a full manufacturing ERP with MRP and routing?
Not as a starting point. We begin by connecting and automating the workflows you already run — orders, material, job work, dispatch, collections. Deeper production planning is scoped based on need, and we won't claim capabilities before they fit your process.
Can supervisors update production status without a computer?
Yes. Status updates are designed for phones, with a small number of taps per update.
We have two plants and one head office. Is that supported?
Multi-location businesses are a core use case. Data can be viewed per plant or combined, with access controlled by role.
