ERP software for manufacturing, from purchase to dispatch
Plan production, buy the right materials, track work orders on the shop floor, check quality and dispatch on time, with stock and costs updated at every step.
Many small and mid-sized manufacturers run on accounting software plus a stack of spreadsheets for production, stock and quality. ZedBlu's ERP software for manufacturing replaces that patchwork with one system covering sales orders, BOMs, production planning, purchase, inventory, quality control, dispatch and costing.
As an ERP for small manufacturers and growing mid-sized plants, it fits discrete production such as engineering components, auto parts, electrical goods and furniture, as well as process industries like food, chemicals, plastics and packaging. Make-to-order, make-to-stock and job work models are all supported.
Start on a monthly subscription, buy the platform outright with its source code, or ask for a custom build shaped around complex plants. We implement in phases, starting with the modules that remove your biggest bottleneck.
Everything you need to run it
ERP web application
The central system for sales, planning, purchase, stores, production, quality, dispatch and accounts integration, with role-based dashboards for owners, planners, storekeepers, supervisors and quality engineers.
Shop floor app
The shop floor management software side runs on tablets and phones: operators view work orders, record start and stop times, output, scrap and downtime reasons, and scan barcodes to issue material or move WIP between stages.
Management dashboard
Order backlog, production versus plan, stock value, purchase commitments, rejection rates and on-time dispatch, updated live through the shift for plant heads, owners and finance teams.
Features that do the heavy lifting
Bills of materials and routings
BOM management software with multi-level BOMs, versions, alternates and scrap factors, plus routings that define operations, work centers and standard times for each product.
Production planning and MRP
Production planning software built in: turn sales orders and forecasts into plans, while MRP software logic nets requirements against stock and open orders and suggests purchase and work orders.
Work orders and WIP tracking
Release work orders, issue materials, record output and scrap by operation, and see live WIP status for each work center, from cutting to packing.
Purchase management
Purchase requisitions, approvals, RFQs and vendor comparisons, purchase orders, goods receipt with inspection, and vendor ratings on price, quality and delivery.
Inventory and warehouse
Raw material, WIP and finished goods stock across stores and plants, with bin locations, batch and serial tracking, barcode labels and reorder levels.
Quality control
Incoming, in-process and final inspection plans with parameters and tolerances, quality holds, rejection and rework tracking, and certificates of analysis for customers.
Job work and subcontracting
Send material to job workers, see what sits at each vendor, receive processed goods and reconcile quantities and charges, with delivery challans built to support GST rules in India.
Sales orders and dispatch
Quotations, sales orders, delivery schedules, packing lists, invoices and dispatch documents, with e-way bill and e-invoice integrations for India and VAT invoicing for other markets.
Machine maintenance
Preventive maintenance schedules per machine, breakdown logging, spare parts stock and downtime analysis, so planners work with real available capacity.
Costing and reports
Standard versus actual cost per order and product, covering material, labor, machine time and overheads, with profitability, stock aging and production reports plus Power BI dashboards.
Business benefits
One version of the truth
Sales, planning, stores and production work from the same live data, so the promise made to a customer matches what the plant can actually build and ship.
Buy what you need, when you need it
MRP compares requirements with stock and open orders, so purchasing follows real demand instead of habit, and planners spot shortages before they stop a line.
Know your real costs
Actual material, labor, scrap and machine time are recorded against each order, showing clearly which products and customers make money and which ones quietly lose it.
Traceability on demand
Batch and serial tracking from supplier lot to customer shipment makes recalls, complaints and quality audits faster to answer, with records ready when an inspector or customer asks.

ERP for Manufacturing: FAQ
How much does ERP software for manufacturing cost?
Plants, users, modules, integrations and your buying option set the price. Smaller manufacturers can spread the cost through a monthly subscription, while companies that want ownership can license the ERP once with its code. Custom ERP development for manufacturing is an enterprise-scale build, priced above the typical $8,000 to $60,000+ range for a custom web app, depending on scope. A free consultation and a walkthrough of your processes come first, and then we prepare a fixed quote.
How long does a manufacturing ERP implementation take?
For a single plant on our ready ERP, a phased rollout typically takes eight to sixteen weeks, depending on product complexity, data quality and the modules you start with. Multi-plant rollouts and custom planning logic take longer. We schedule go-live dates around your production calendar so month-end dispatches stay on track.
Can it handle GST, e-invoicing and e-way bills?
Yes. Invoices, delivery challans and job work documents are built to support GST rules in India, and we can integrate e-invoice and e-way bill generation through authorized API providers. For exports and other markets, invoices support VAT, multiple currencies and the document formats your customers require.
Can we start with a few modules and add more later?
Yes, and we usually recommend it. A common path is to begin with inventory, purchase and sales, then add production planning, shop floor tracking, quality and maintenance once the basics are stable. Every module shares one database, so adding one later needs no re-entry of data or separate integration.
Can the ERP connect to machines and IoT sensors?
Yes. Our IoT development team can connect machine counters, PLCs and sensors so output, downtime and energy data flow into the ERP instead of being written down by hand. Where machines lack connectivity, operators record the same data on the shop floor app. We assess your machines before proposing an approach.
Will it integrate with our accounting software?
Yes. The ERP can post sales, purchases, stock valuation and payments to your accounting software through its API or scheduled exports, or use built-in accounts if you prefer a single system. We map ledgers and tax codes during setup so your accountant keeps working with familiar reports.
