The ERP that runs a NADCAP special-process shop
A heat-treat, plating or NDT business is judged on qualified operators, controlled processes, valid certificates and clean customer job-work accounting. Elite Tech's ERP runs the special-process shop end to end, booking incoming jobs, enforcing operator and process qualification, capturing pyrometry and process data, issuing certificates and handling ITC-04, so every job ships certified and profitable.
One platform to run heat-treat, plating and NDT businesses, built on Zoho Advanced Partner + custom AWS development

| First-article & quality gates | ✓ Native FAI, NCR/CAPA & lot/serial capture | ✕ Custom development required |
| GST e-invoice & e-way bill | ✓ Built-in, India-native | ✕ Add-on / third-party bolt-on |
| Custom apps | Zoho Creator + custom AWS, you own the code | Costly change requests, vendor-controlled |

NADCAP shop ERP, questions answered
It is a full business system for a special-process shop. It books customer jobs, schedules loads, controls operators and processes, issues certificates and invoices, running the whole operation rather than just recording compliance.
Each process checks the operator's current certifications before it can start. Expired or missing qualifications block the run, so unqualified work never happens.
Yes, recipes, pyrometry and process readings are captured against the qualified specification for every load. That data forms the record behind each certificate.
Inbound and outbound movements are tracked as job-work with challans and ITC-04 support. Each completed job is billed at its contract rate.
Yes, furnace loads, tank batches and lots are traceable from receipt through processing to return. Any job can be reconstructed from its records on demand.
A core intake-to-certificate-to-invoice flow typically goes live in 15 to 45 days depending on scope. Additional processes are added as your shop grows.
