Aerospace Supply Chain Management Software
From a demand plan and sales-and-operations consensus, to MRP that sizes long-lead forgings and castings, to supplier schedules and scorecards, to OTIF delivery and the AOG logistics call, Elite Tech runs your aerospace supply chain on configured Zoho plus custom AWS.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for the aerospace supply chain
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.
Long lead times punish supply chains that plan late
Aerospace supply chains fail slowly and then suddenly. A titanium forging or a precision casting can carry a lead time measured in many months, so a demand signal that arrives late, or an MRP run that misses a long-lead item, does not hurt this week. It hurts two quarters later when a build line stops for a part that should have been ordered before the order book was even confirmed. Managing that horizon on spreadsheets, with supplier promises living in email, leaves planners reacting instead of scheduling.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We do not sell a supply chain product of our own. We configure Zoho and build custom AWS services so demand planning, MRP, supplier scheduling, long-lead management, logistics and supplier performance run as one connected system built for how aerospace supply chains actually work in Karnataka.
The result is a supply chain planned to the horizon it lives on. A consensus demand plan drives MRP that sizes and phases every requirement, long-lead items are placed early against firm and forecast demand, suppliers are scheduled and measured on OTIF, and when an AOG call comes the expedite is managed on the same system. Planners see risk before it becomes a shortage, and leadership sees the plan before it becomes a surprise.
Everything an aerospace supply chain needs, built in
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Demand planning and S&OP
Build a consensus demand plan across sales, programmes and operations, reconciling firm orders and forecast so the whole business plans to one set of numbers.
Demand planning andMRP and requirement phasing
Run material requirements planning against multi-level BOMs and lead times, netting stock and open orders to phase every requirement to the date it is truly needed.
MRP and requirementLong-lead item management
Identify forgings, castings and other long-lead parts early and place them against firm and forecast demand, so months-long lead times never sit on the critical path unmanaged.
Long-lead item managementSupplier scheduling and releases
Turn planned requirements into supplier schedules and call-off releases, communicated through a portal so suppliers plan to the same horizon your line does.
Supplier scheduling andSupplier performance and scorecards
Measure OTIF, quality acceptance and responsiveness by supplier, so sourcing and dual-source decisions rest on evidence rather than the loudest complaint.
Supplier performance andCapacity and constraint planning
Balance the plan against internal and supplier capacity, surfacing constraints early so a bottleneck is a planning decision, not a shop-floor discovery.
Capacity and constraintLogistics, AOG and expedite
Manage inbound logistics, incoterms and freight, and handle aircraft-on-ground expedites with priority so a critical shortage gets moved, tracked and closed fast.
Logistics, AOG andRisk, dual-sourcing and continuity
Track single-source exposure, qualify alternates and hold continuity plans, so a supplier disruption is a managed scenario rather than a programme emergency.

How demand becomes delivered material
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Demand capture
Firm orders and forecast are gathered across programmes and consolidated into a single demand signal the whole supply chain can plan against.
Step 1S&OP consensus
Sales, operations and programme teams reconcile demand against capacity and priorities in a sales-and-operations cycle, agreeing one plan of record.
Step 2MRP run
Material requirements are exploded through multi-level BOMs, netted against stock and open orders, and phased to the date each part is needed.
Step 3Long-lead placement
Long-lead forgings, castings and critical items are identified and placed early against firm and forecast demand, ahead of the general order wave.
Step 4Purchase and schedule release
Requirements become purchase orders and scheduled call-offs, released to suppliers through the portal so they plan to the same delivery dates.
Step 5Supplier confirmation and follow-up
Suppliers confirm dates, planners track promise against need, and at-risk lines are flagged and chased before they slip into a shortage.
Step 6Inbound logistics
Shipments are booked with the right incoterms and freight, tracked in transit, and cleared and received against the schedule and purchase order.
Step 7Receipt and OTIF measurement
Goods are received, on-time-in-full performance is recorded against the supplier, and the scorecard updates to inform future sourcing decisions.
Step 8Exception and AOG response
Shortages and aircraft-on-ground events are escalated, expedites are managed with priority, and the plan is re-cut so the disruption is contained and closed.
Step 9Two workflows, one connected platform
The manufacturing heart and the sales journey, side by side. Click any stage to walk through exactly what happens at that step.
The manufacturing heart
Machining & special processes
Structural fittings, brackets, shafts and engine parts machined on 5-axis against per-part routings, with standard times, first-piece approval and NADCAP special-process control.

The Zoho and AWS stack behind your supply chain
Every Zoho product mapped to a real job on the floor, extended with custom AWS where the shop needs it.
Custom shop-floor apps
MRP logic, long-lead identification, supplier scheduling and OTIF scorecards are built as tailored apps and services around your BOMs, lead times and planning rules.
Zoho InventoryStock & bonded stores
Stock, open orders and goods receipt that feed the MRP net, so planning works from live balances rather than last week's spreadsheet.
Zoho BooksGST-ready finance
GST-compliant purchasing, supplier invoicing and landed-cost visibility, keeping the financial and material sides of the supply chain in step.
Dashboards & analytics
OTIF, shortage risk, long-lead exposure and supplier performance dashboards that give planners and leadership the forward view, not just history.
Programmes & scheduling
Programme milestones and long-lead timelines kept visible, so procurement is planned against the schedule that actually drives demand.
Service, MRO & warranty
Schedule releases, confirmations and query handling through a supplier portal, so communication is on the record rather than lost in email.
Sales & programme management
Order pipeline and customer demand signal linked into planning, so the forecast that drives MRP reflects the business the sales team is actually closing.
Integration & automation
Integration and automation across the stack, connecting demand, MRP, purchasing and logistics so hand-offs happen without manual re-keying.
