Software for manufacturers who have outgrown Tally and Excel.
Production, dispatch, receivables, and statutory deadlines usually live in paper files, shared spreadsheets, and WhatsApp threads. We document how your team works today, then build the one digital system that holds it all together.
A manufacturing business rarely fails on the shop floor. It fails in the gap between the shop floor and the office: a dispatch nobody invoiced, a cheque that bounced three weeks ago and is still sitting in a drawer, a price list two people maintain differently. Off-the-shelf ERP asks you to change how you work to suit the software. We build custom manufacturing software the other way round: we sit with your team, document the process you already run, and build the software around it.
We built the manufacturing ERP for Bollard (Complete Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.), a Section 138 cheque recovery engine with auto-computed statutory deadlines for a manufacturing distributor, and a sales pipeline CRM for Ceiling Impex that replaced a shared Excel register. Both case studies below are still running in production.
What usually breaks first.
- 01
Tally holds the truth and nobody can query it
Accounts is accurate and completely inaccessible. Sales asks for an outstanding figure and waits two days for a screenshot.
- 02
Receivables live in a physical drawer
Bounced cheques, legal notices, and the statutory windows under the Negotiable Instruments Act sit in a paper file. Miss the 30-day window once and the claim is gone.
- 03
Dispatch and invoicing drift apart
Material leaves the gate on Friday, the invoice is raised the following Wednesday, and the reconciliation happens at month end when nobody remembers the detail.
- 04
Every branch prices differently
Dealer and distributor slabs live in three spreadsheets. Rate exceptions get approved on WhatsApp, so there is no record when a customer disputes it.
- 05
Approvals happen verbally
Credit limits, purchase orders, and discount exceptions are cleared in a corridor conversation. When something goes wrong there is no trail to review.
What we build for manufacturing.
ERP modules that match your process
We start with the process that is costing you most, document it with the people who run it, build that module, then extend. No big-bang rollout.
See the service CRM developmentSales CRM with dealer and distributor pipelines
Stages named the way your team names them, weighted forecasts, and an audit log good enough for a board pack.
See the service Approval workflowsCredit, PO, and rate-exception approvals
Multi-step approvals on Power Automate with escalation, delegation, and a permanent record of who approved what.
See the service Integration layerTally and SAP B1 integration layer
Your book of record stays where it is. We build the layer that makes it readable and actionable everywhere else.
See the service Document automationDocument automation
Invoices, legal notices, dispatch paperwork, and rate letters generated from live data instead of retyped from a template.
See the service Mobile appsField apps for sales and dispatch
React Native apps that work on a patchy connection at a site visit and sync when they get signal.
See the serviceWhat custom manufacturing software usually covers.
Every factory runs differently, so the final module list comes out of the requirement study. These are the modules that come up most often, and each one reads from and writes to the others instead of living in its own spreadsheet. If you run one plant with standard BOMs and your accounts team is happy in Tally, a packaged ERP or TallyPrime with add-ons is often enough, and we will tell you so on the first call. Custom manufacturing software earns its cost when your routing, quality checks or dealer pricing are what the packaged template gets wrong.
- 01
Production planning
Plan runs against open orders, machine capacity and material on hand, and see which orders are at risk before the customer calls.
- 02
BOM and work orders
Multi-level bills of materials, work orders issued from them, and actual consumption posted back against the plan.
See the service - 03
Inventory and godowns
Stock by godown, batch and bin, with transfers, reservations against open orders, and reorder alerts.
- 04
Quality checks
Inspection checklists at goods receipt, in process and before dispatch. Failed lots are held, and every result stays on record.
- 05
Dispatch and e-way bills
Pick, pack and dispatch against the order, with invoice and e-way bill details prepared from the same record, so nothing leaves the gate uninvoiced.
- 06
Tally sync
Sales, purchase and stock vouchers posted into Tally with duplicate checks and a per-record sync log, so accounts stops re-keying.
See the service - 07
Purchase approvals
Indents and purchase orders routed for approval by value and category, with escalation and a permanent record of who approved what.

Straight answers.
- Will this replace our Tally?
- No. Tally stays your book of record. We build the layer on top so sales, dispatch, and management can read and act on that data without waiting for accounts, and we sync both ways where it makes sense.
- How long does a manufacturing project take?
- It depends on the requirements. We begin with a requirement study, sitting with your accounts, sales, and dispatch teams to document how the work is done today. From that we agree a written scope and timeline before development starts. Larger multi-module ERP work is split into phases, each with its own agreed scope.
- What happens after go-live?
- Before go-live we test the system with your team and train the people who will use it every day. After go-live we stay on for support, and you can keep us on a maintenance retainer for fixes, small changes, and new modules as the business grows.
- Can you handle statutory deadlines like Section 138?
- We have already built it. The system computes each statutory window from the date the cheque was returned, escalates before the window closes, and keeps an audit log that stands up in a board review. It has run for fourteen months with no missed deadline.
