Custom Built by JK Tech Hub

Manufacturing ERP Software - Custom Built by JK Tech Hub

Production planning, BOM, job work, inventory and GST billing for engineering, casting, forging and component units, built around how Gujarat factories run.

Quick Answer: JK Tech Hub builds manufacturing ERP software for small and mid-sized units: sales orders to production plans, multi-level bills of material, raw-material and work-in-progress tracking, job-work challans under GST, quality checks, dispatch with e-way bills, costing per part, and the reports an owner reads on the shop floor. Designed from the job cards and registers your unit already uses, delivered in stages, and owned by you. Rajkot is our home, and the casting, forging, bearing, pump and auto-component clusters of Saurashtra are where most of this work has been done.

The Problem

Challenges Businesses Face

These are the pain points our solution addresses.

Orders, production and dispatch live in three registers and a WhatsApp group; the owner learns about a delay from the customer.

Raw material is issued on paper. Consumption against the BOM is never compared, so yield loss and scrap are invisible until stock-taking.

Job work sent out for machining, plating or heat treatment is tracked by memory; challans, returns and GST compliance are reconstructed at month end.

Costing per part is a guess. Quotes are made on last year's rates and margins vanish in material and rework.

Generic ERP products are built for assembly lines and distributors, not for casting yields, forging sequences or job-work-heavy engineering shops.

What an ERP for a small manufacturing unit actually needs

Most ERP marketing is written for large assembly plants. A 40-person casting or machining unit in Metoda GIDC has different problems: yield that varies by heat, job work sent to three vendors, drawings that change mid-order, and an owner who runs the plant from the floor, not from a desk. The system has to be fast to update on a tablet at the machine, tolerant of the way work actually flows, and strict only where it matters: material issue, job-work returns, quality holds and GST documents.

The payoff is not a prettier report. It is knowing the real cost of each part, catching a late order a week early instead of the day after, and stopping the material and job-work leakage that quietly eats margin.

Packaged ERP, open-source ERP, or a custom build

Packaged ERP products bring broad functionality and a licence or subscription per user. They fit units that are willing to change their processes to match the product and have someone to administer it. Open-source ERP platforms remove the licence fee but not the implementation effort; the customisation, hosting, upgrades and support are still paid for, usually by the hour, and the result is often a heavily modified system that is hard to upgrade later.

A custom build starts from your registers and job cards, includes only what your unit uses, and is owned outright. It suits engineering shops with job-work-heavy flows, casting and forging units with yield tracking, and any unit where the owner wants the software shaped to the plant rather than the plant reshaped to the software. On the first visit we say which route fits; sometimes the honest answer is a packaged product.

How the build works and what it costs

We start on your shop floor: registers, job cards, the order book, one month of dispatches and a walk through each stage of production. For Rajkot and Saurashtra units this is a physical visit; elsewhere it is a video walk-through. The result is a staged plan with a fixed quote and dates.

Stage one is usually orders, inventory, dispatch and GST billing, live within six to eight weeks, because it removes the most paper immediately. Stage two adds production planning, BOM and job work. Stage three adds quality and costing. Each stage is used before the next is built, so the system is shaped by real use.

Stage one typically starts around ₹1,50,000 and complete systems for multi-shop units run to ₹8,00,000 and beyond. You own the code and the database, and hosting is on your server or in your name.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about manufacturing erp software.

How much does manufacturing ERP software cost in India?

A staged custom ERP from JK Tech Hub starts around ₹1,50,000 for orders, inventory, dispatch and GST billing. Adding production planning, BOM, job work, quality and costing takes complete systems to ₹4,00,000 to ₹8,00,000 depending on shops and users. Each stage is quoted fixed; hosting is the only running cost.

Can it handle job work and ITC-04?

Yes. Outward and inward job-work challans, pending-return tracking by job worker, and the ITC-04 statement are core modules, along with job-worker-wise cost and yield.

Does it work for casting and forging yields?

Yes. Heat and batch numbers, expected versus actual yield per heat, scrap and rejection tracking by reason, and costing that reflects actual recovery.

Can supervisors use it on the shop floor?

Yes. Progress, material issue and inspection results are captured on tablets or phones at the machine, with large buttons and minimal typing.

How long does implementation take?

Stage one, which covers orders, inventory, dispatch and billing, is usually live in six to eight weeks. Production planning and job work follow in six to ten weeks, and quality and costing after that. Most units are fully live within six months.

Do you connect to Tally and the GST portal?

Yes. Invoices, purchases and payments post to Tally Prime, and e-invoicing and e-way bills are generated from the dispatch record.

Is there an ERP company in Rajkot that visits the plant?

Yes. JK Tech Hub is based in Mavdi, Rajkot, and most of our manufacturing ERP work is for units in Aji GIDC, Metoda GIDC, Shapar-Veraval and across Saurashtra. We visit the plant for the walk-through, training and go-live.

Do you serve manufacturers outside Gujarat?

Yes. Units elsewhere in India get the same system with a video walk-through, remote implementation and screen-shared training, with site visits for go-live where needed.
