ERP for Manufacturing Companies, Built Around Your Shop Floor
A manufacturing ERP connects purchase, raw-material stock, bills of materials, production orders, job work, finished goods, dispatch and GST billing in one system, so you always know what to buy, make and ship. Kode Studio in Hyderabad builds custom manufacturing ERPs phase by phase, typically ₹2–12 lakh, with no per-user fees.

Problems a manufacturing ERP solves
- Raw material shortages discovered only when a production order starts.
- Excess stock tied up because purchase is based on guesses, not consumption.
- No real cost per unit — material, labour and job-work charges are spread across spreadsheets.
- Job-work material sent to vendors that nobody can account for.
- Delayed dispatches because sales does not know production status.
- Month-end chaos reconciling stock, billing and Tally.

Why manufacturers choose a custom ERP
Every factory runs a little differently — how materials are weighed, how batches are numbered, which steps are outsourced, how rejections are handled. Ready-made ERPs either force the factory to change its process or need expensive customisation. A custom ERP is built around how your shop floor already works, with screens your supervisors understand in minutes.
Custom ERPs also avoid per-user licences, so you can give access to every supervisor, store keeper and salesperson without the bill growing. Read the full comparison in our ERP cost guide.

What go-live looks like
Going live is where ERP projects succeed or fail. Our approach: freeze item masters and opening stock on a fixed date, run the old and new systems side by side for one or two weeks on a few products, train each role on only the screens they use, then switch fully and make old spreadsheets read-only. A developer stays on call during the first month to fix issues the same day.
