Built for Tumakuru’s HAL supply belt
From Bengaluru’s HAL, ISRO, DRDO cluster to Hyderabad, Nashik and Kanpur, Elite Tech configures Zoho for the way Indian A&D manufacturers actually build.
ERP built for the Tumakuru helicopter and machine-tool cluster
Tumakuru has moved from a district town on the Bengaluru-Pune highway to one of Karnataka's most deliberate industrial builds. The HAL Helicopter Factory in the Gubbi taluk, set up to build the Light Utility Helicopter and later platforms, has anchored a fresh aerospace supply base around it. Alongside it, the Tumakuru Machine Tool Park and the Vasanthanarasapura Industrial Area, part of the national investment and manufacturing zone here, are drawing precision and machine-building firms into the region.
That combination of a helicopter prime and a machine-tool ecosystem creates a specific need. Suppliers feeding HAL and defence programmes must work to AS9100, produce First Article Inspection reports, hold serial and lot genealogy, run NADCAP special processes and pass DGAQA and CEMILAC airworthiness checks. Machine-tool and component builders scaling into this work rarely have a system that carries that discipline from enquiry to certified delivery.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Bengaluru-based Zoho Advanced Partner, a straight run up NH48 from Tumakuru. We do not sell a packaged ERP. We implement configured Zoho with custom apps on AWS so a Vasanthanarasapura or Machine Tool Park supplier gets programme-mode costing, airworthiness-ready traceability and GST e-invoicing, matched to how HAL-belt work actually flows.
What the Tumakuru aerospace ERP covers
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Programme & EVM mode
Run each HAL or defence contract as a programme with work-breakdown structure, earned-value tracking and milestone billing, so long helicopter-build schedules stay visible and on cost.
Programme & EVMConfiguration-controlled BOM
Multi-level bills with revision and effectivity control, keeping every assembly aligned to the exact platform standard as the prime releases changes.
Configuration-controlled BOMAS9100 quality & AS9102 FAI
Quality gates, First Article Inspection, non-conformance and CAPA against each part number, giving Tumakuru suppliers a clean audit trail on qualification.
AS9100 quality &Airworthiness & DGAQA checks
Capture DGAQA and CEMILAC sign-off points and inspection stages so airworthiness evidence is recorded alongside production, not chased afterward.
Airworthiness & DGAQASerial & lot genealogy
Full traceability from raw material through machining and assembly to the delivered part, with certificates linked for instant recall.
Serial & lotNADCAP special processes
Track heat treatment, plating, welding and NDT through approved processors, capturing certificates back against the serial before the next operation.
NADCAP special processesMachine-tool & capital-goods build
Support engineer-to-order machine and fixture builds common to the Machine Tool Park, with project routing, assembly and long-lead procurement.
Machine-tool & capital-goodsGST e-invoice & e-way bill
India-native GST tax invoice, IRN with QR and e-way bill generated in-system, with stock reserved against the order for controlled defence dispatch.
GST e-invoice &Tumakuru Aerospace & Defence ERP, one connected platform
Elite Tech Corporation does not build aircraft. We build the ERP and CRM software that runs aerospace and defence manufacturers, one connected system that carries an RFQ all the way to a certified, dispatched assembly and an MRO order years later.
- Built for A&D makers, airframe, engine, avionics, composites, precision components, ordnance and engineered-to-order.
- Replaces spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with one login for sales, production, quality and finance.
- Programme mode with EVM, WBS, earned-value and milestone billing beside routine make-to-stock work.
- Configured Zoho where it fits, custom AWS where it doesn’t, you own your code and your data.
- AS9100, First Article Inspection and full serial traceability built into the workflow, not bolted on.
- GST-native and DGAQA / CEMILAC-aware, tuned for Indian aerospace & defence compliance out of the box.
- MRO & Airworthiness Component life-limits, service bulletins, repair & overhaul orders, warranty and AMC contracts in one system.
- GST e-Invoice & e-Way IRN + QR to the IRP and auto-linked e-way bills, India-native compliance with no third-party GSP juggling.
- Export Control & Security Role-based access, controlled-item BOM flags and DGAQA/CEMILAC-aware records for defence programmes.

Your Tumakuru programme, end to end
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Enquiry & programme intake
A HAL or defence requirement lands in CRM with platform, quantity, quality clauses and schedule captured against the customer and programme.
Step 1Estimation & quotation
Cost from material, machining, assembly, special processes and airworthiness effort, then issue a controlled quotation reflecting true programme overhead.
Step 2Contract & WBS setup
On award, create the programme with work-breakdown structure, milestones and earned-value baseline so progress is measured, not guessed.
Step 3Engineering BOM & routing
Release configuration-controlled BOMs and routings, with effectivity so the shop always builds to the current platform standard.
Step 4Procurement & long-lead control
Raise purchase orders for forgings, castings and long-lead items with mill certificates captured and reserved against the programme.
Step 5Machining & assembly
Work orders drive machining, sub-assembly and integration, booking labour, machine hours and stage completion against each serial.
Step 6Special processes & inspection
Route parts to NADCAP processes, capture certificates, then run First Article and in-process inspection with NCR and CAPA where required.
Step 7Airworthiness & bonded dispatch
Complete DGAQA and CEMILAC sign-off, clear from bonded stores, and generate Certificate of Conformance, GST e-invoice and e-way bill.
Step 8MRO, spares & repeat build
Retain serial history so spares, service and any repair-and-overhaul order link back to the original manufacture record.
