Engineered efficiency ERP for engineer-to-order firms

Engineering ERP that tracks every job from quote to final invoice

One system for estimating, BOM and design changes, procurement, shop-floor hours, job costing and milestone billing, built for fabricators, machine builders and project-based engineering companies.

  • Engineer-to-order
  • Multi-level BOM
  • Live job costing
  • GST-ready billing
Why engineering firms switch

From scattered spreadsheets to one source of truth

The problems we hear most from engineering companies, and how the ERP solves each one.

Before

Estimates built in Excel from memory

With Engineering ERP

Quotes built from past job costs and templates

Before

Design changes reach the shop floor late

With Engineering ERP

Every change approved and pushed to the live BOM

Before

Cost overruns found after delivery

With Engineering ERP

Live estimate-vs-actual alerts during the job

Before

Billing waits for month-end

With Engineering ERP

Milestone invoices raised the day work is signed off

Before

Nobody knows who is free next week

With Engineering ERP

Capacity view of machines and skilled people

The engineer-to-order lifecycle

Seven stages, one connected job

Every stage writes to the same job record, so cost, progress and documents are always in step. Tap a stage to see what happens there.

Live job costing

Know your margin before the job ends

A sample conveyor job worth ₹26.5 L. Move the slider to see how a steel price rise eats into margin, and how early the ERP warns you.

BOM and design control

Every revision tracked, every change approved

A multi-level BOM explodes into assemblies and parts. When engineering raises a change, it is approved once and flows to purchase and production automatically.

Progress billing

Get paid as the work moves

Milestone billing for the same sample job. Invoices are raised the moment a milestone is signed off, with advance and retention handled for you.

Connected to the tools you already use

Your designers keep their CAD, your accountant keeps their books. The ERP ties them together.

Implementation

Live in about 10 to 16 weeks

A typical plan for a mid-sized engineering company. We pilot on one live project before switching everyone over.

FAQ

Engineering ERP questions

Straight answers to what engineering companies ask us most.

What is an engineering ERP?

An engineering ERP manages the full life of engineer-to-order and project-based work: estimating and quoting, design and BOM control, procurement, production, job costing and milestone billing, so every job's cost, progress and cash are visible in one place.

How is it different from a standard manufacturing ERP?

Standard ERPs assume repeat products with fixed BOMs. Engineering firms build one-off or highly configured products, where designs change mid-job and profit is tracked per project. Our engineering ERP is built around jobs, revisions and milestones rather than stock items.

Can it import BOMs from our CAD software?

Yes. We import BOMs from AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor and similar tools via export files or direct integration, and keep revisions linked to the job.

How does job costing work?

Every purchase, material issue, timesheet and subcontract bill is booked against a job. You see estimate vs actual by cost head at any time, with alerts when a head goes over budget.

Do you support milestone and retention billing?

Yes. Invoices can be raised by milestone or percentage complete, with advance adjustment, retention and GST handled automatically.

How long does implementation take?

A typical engineering ERP rollout takes about 10 to 16 weeks, including data migration, integrations, training and a pilot project. Smaller firms can start in fewer weeks with core modules first.

Is it cloud-based?

Yes, it runs in the cloud with mobile access for site teams. We can also deploy on your own servers if required.

Which module should we start with?

Most firms start with job costing and BOM control, because they show profit leaks quickly. Take our free ERP audit to see which modules fit your business.
