Manufacturing ERP

Manufacturing ERP Software for Small and Mid-Sized Factories

Most small and mid-sized manufacturers run on Tally for accounts, Excel for production and a notebook or WhatsApp group for everything in between. It works until orders grow. Then nobody is sure how much raw material is really in stock, which order is stuck at which machine, or whether a job was costed correctly until the month closes.

We build manufacturing ERP software that brings those pieces together: bills of materials, production planning, material issue and returns, job work with outside units, finished goods, quality checks and dispatch with GST invoices and e-way bills. Accounts can stay in Tally or Zoho Books, and the ERP posts sales, purchases and stock values to them.

We work with engineering and fabrication units, plastics and packaging, food processing, auto components, printing and similar businesses, usually with 20 to 500 people. If you make garments or knitwear, or run a knitting, dyeing or fabric processing unit looking for textile ERP software, our garment ERP is already shaped for styles, sizes, lots and process tracking, so start there.

Who it's for

Who Manufacturing ERP is for

Manufacturers outgrowing Tally and Excel

Factories whose accounts are in order but whose production, stock and costing live in spreadsheets that only one or two people fully understand.

Make-to-order and job shops

Units that make to customer drawings or specs, where each order has its own BOM, routing and delivery date, and quoting depends on knowing real costs.

Units using outside job workers

Manufacturers who send material out for machining, plating, painting, printing or other processes and need to track what went out, what came back and what is still with each job worker.

Firms unhappy with a packaged ERP

Businesses that bought a big ERP licence, spent months on setup and still work outside it because it never matched their shop floor.

What you get

Features we build

Bills of materials and routings

Multi-level BOMs with raw materials, sub-assemblies, scrap allowance and alternate items, plus routings that list the operations, machines and standard times for each product.

Production planning

Turn sales orders into work orders, check material availability against the BOM, raise purchase requests for shortages, and plan work by machine or line with a simple visual schedule.

Shop floor tracking

Supervisors record output, rejections, downtime and operator per shift on a tablet or phone. Barcode or QR labels on batches make material issue and movement quick and accurate.

Job work management

Job work challans for material sent out, receipts and balances by job worker, process charges and loss allowance, with the records you need for GST ITC-04 returns.

Inventory and stores

Raw material, work in progress and finished goods by location, with batch or heat numbers, reorder levels, GRN against purchase orders and stock ageing reports.

Quality checks

Incoming inspection, in-process checks and final inspection with parameters per product, test certificates and rejection reasons, so repeat problems show up in the data.

Costing

Estimated versus actual cost per order or batch, covering material, labour, machine time, job work charges and overheads, so you can see which products and customers really make money.

GST billing and Tally sync

Sales invoices, delivery challans, e-invoice IRN and e-way bills through the GST portal APIs, with sales, purchases and stock journals posted to Tally or Zoho Books.

How we work

From first call to launch

  1. 01

    Factory walk-through

    We visit or video-call the shop floor, follow an order from enquiry to dispatch, and collect the formats, registers and reports you use today.

  2. 02

    Scope and phases

    We agree which modules go live first, usually stores, BOM and production, and write down the reports each role needs, with a fixed price for each phase.

  3. 03

    Build and pilot

    We build on a staging system and run a pilot with one product line or department using real orders, fixing gaps before the whole factory switches over.

  4. 04

    Data migration and training

    We load item masters, BOMs, opening stock and pending orders, and train stores, production, quality and accounts staff on their own screens.

  5. 05

    Go-live and support

    We stay close during the first month-end close, then move to a support plan for fixes, new reports and the next phase of modules.

Cost & timeline

What Manufacturing ERP costs

A core stores and production system usually goes live in 6–10 weeks. A full factory ERP takes 3–5 months, and multi-plant projects 5–8 months, released module by module so the factory is never left without a working system.

Why RED SAG

Why teams choose us

We start on the shop floor

We design around how material actually moves in your factory, not around a textbook ERP. That is why people keep using the system after go-live.

Phased, fixed-price delivery

Each phase has its own scope and fixed price. You see value from the first module before committing to the next one.

Tally stays where it is

Your accountant does not have to change tools. The ERP handles operations and sends clean entries to Tally or Zoho Books.

Manufacturing experience close to home

We are based in Tiruppur, an industrial town full of manufacturers and job-work units, so job work, piece rates and GST paperwork are familiar ground for us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does manufacturing ERP software cost?

With us, a core stores and production system costs ₹90,000–2.5 lakh, a full factory ERP ₹2.5–6 lakh, and a multi-plant or complex system ₹6–15 lakh. This is a one-time build cost with no per-user licence. Hosting and support are separate and usually a small monthly amount.

Should we buy a packaged ERP or get one built?

Packaged ERPs work well when your process is close to their standard model and you are willing to adapt to it. A custom ERP makes sense when your processes are specific, such as job work heavy or make-to-order with unusual costing, or when licence and consultant fees for a large ERP are hard to justify. We will tell you if a packaged product would serve you better.

Can it work with Tally?

Yes. Most small Indian manufacturers keep Tally for accounts, and there is no need to change that. The ERP sends sales and purchase vouchers, and stock journals if needed, to Tally through its XML interface, and can pull ledger masters from it. Zoho Books is supported through its API.

Does it handle GST e-invoicing, e-way bills and job work returns?

Yes. Invoices can generate an IRN and QR code through the e-invoice system if your turnover requires it, and e-way bills can be created from invoices or delivery challans. Job work challans and receipts are recorded so the data for ITC-04 is ready when your accountant files it.

We make garments. Is this the right page?

For garments and knitwear, our garment ERP software is a better starting point. It already covers styles, colour and size breakdowns, fabric and process tracking, TNA calendars and piece-rate wages. This manufacturing ERP is for other industries such as engineering, plastics, packaging and food processing.

Can the ERP run on our local server instead of the cloud?

Yes. Some factories prefer a local server because of patchy internet. We can install it on-premise with automatic backups to the cloud, or host it in the cloud with an offline-friendly entry screen for the shop floor. We help you weigh up cost, access from outside and backup needs.

How long does it take to go live?

The first module usually goes live in 6–10 weeks. A full ERP rolls out over 3–5 months in phases. The biggest factor is how quickly item masters and BOMs can be cleaned up, so we start that work early with your team.
