Made for vendor & sub-contract control
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.
Your supply chain is your product, so govern it like one
In aerospace and defence, a non-conforming part from an unapproved source can cost a programme its airworthiness sign-off. AS9100 clause 8.4 makes control of externally provided processes and products a hard requirement, which means your approved-vendor list, your supplier qualification records and your sub-contract routing all have to be defensible, current and linked to the parts they touch. Spreadsheets and email threads cannot carry that burden.
Elite Tech Corporation, a Zoho Advanced Partner, configures Zoho into a single supplier-governance backbone and extends it with custom AWS applications for the aerospace-specific logic: approved-vendor-list status by process and commodity, special-process and NADCAP approvals, delegation of authority, and sub-contract purchase orders that carry free-issue material out and reconcile finished work back in.
The outcome is a supply chain you can see and steer. Buyers raise sub-contract POs only against approved vendors, quality sees live vendor ratings and non-conformance history, and finance settles against reconciled free-issue consumption, all without leaving the platform.
What the vendor and subcontractor module covers
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Approved-vendor list control
A living AVL where each supplier is approved by commodity, special process and scope, with status, expiry and conditional-approval flags enforced at PO creation.
Approved-vendor list controlSupplier onboarding workflow
Structured qualification of new vendors: self-assessment questionnaires, document collection, site-audit records and quality-system evidence gathered before first-part approval.
Supplier onboarding workflowVendor rating and scorecards
Automatic delivery, quality and responsiveness scoring from actual receipt and non-conformance data, producing periodic scorecards and improvement actions.
Vendor rating andSub-contract purchase orders
Dedicated sub-contract POs for outsourced machining, treatment and special processes, carrying the routing, drawing revision and quality clauses the vendor must meet.
Sub-contract purchase ordersFree-issue material tracking
Material issued to subcontractors is tracked as your stock at their site, reconciled against finished quantities, scrap and returns so nothing is lost off-book.
Free-issue material trackingSpecial-process and NADCAP register
A register of vendor special-process approvals, NADCAP accreditations and delegation records with expiry alerts so lapsed approvals block further orders.
Special-process and NADCAPVendor document and CoC portal
A shared space for purchase-order acknowledgement, material certificates, Certificates of Conformance and inspection reports tied to each sub-contract shipment.
Vendor document andSupplier corrective actions
Supplier corrective-action requests raised from receiving non-conformances, tracked to closure and reflected back in the vendor rating and AVL status.

From vendor request to reconciled sub-contract
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Vendor identification
A commodity or special-process need triggers a vendor request, capturing scope, capacity and the approvals the source will have to hold.
Step 1Qualification and onboarding
The candidate completes a self-assessment, submits quality-system and process evidence, and undergoes a site audit recorded against the vendor file.
Step 2Approval and AVL entry
On passing qualification the vendor is added to the approved-vendor list with a defined scope, approval class and review date visible to every buyer.
Step 3Sub-contract PO release
Buyers raise sub-contract purchase orders only against approved vendors, attaching drawing revision, routing, special-process and quality clauses automatically.
Step 4Free-issue dispatch
Raw material or semi-finished parts are issued to the subcontractor as tracked free-issue stock with a challan and e-way bill, remaining on your books at their site.
Step 5Progress and quality follow-up
Work-in-progress at the vendor is monitored against promise dates, with quality clauses and in-process checks recorded before the parts return.
Step 6Receipt and reconciliation
Finished parts are received against the sub-contract PO, the free-issue quantity is reconciled against yield and scrap, and Certificates of Conformance are logged.
Step 7Rating update
Delivery timing and any receiving non-conformance feed the vendor scorecard automatically, updating the rating that governs future order eligibility.
Step 8Payment and periodic review
Settlement is released against reconciled receipts, and periodic AVL reviews confirm, condition or suspend the vendor based on their live performance record.

Zoho ERP vs traditional ERP for aerospace & defence manufacturers
A side-by-side look at how a Zoho ERP delivered by Elite Tech compares with legacy and generic ERP software for a Bangalore aerospace & defence manufacturer.
| Criteria | Zoho ERP + Elite Tech | Traditional / other ERP |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Low, subscription (OPEX), no heavy hardware | High, big licence + servers (CAPEX) |
| Go-live time | 15-60 days, phased rollout | 6-18 months |
| Aerospace & defence fit | Pre-built AS9100 workflows, BOM, routing & serial traceability | Generic, heavy customisation to fit |
| 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 |
| Cloud & mobile | Cloud-native, mobile-first | Often on-premise, desktop-bound |
| Export & compliance docs | ✓ Included | ✕ Rarely available |
| Local support | Team serving Bangalore, in your language | Remote / partner-dependent |
| Scale as you grow | Add users & modules à la carte | Expensive tier jumps |
| Data & lock-in | ✓ Own your data & code | ✕ Proprietary, hard to exit |
Your questions answered
Each supplier is approved by commodity, special process and scope with a status and review date. When a buyer raises a purchase or sub-contract order, the system checks that the vendor is approved for exactly that scope and blocks or flags orders against lapsed or out-of-scope suppliers, supporting AS9100 clause 8.4 control.
Yes. Material issued to a subcontractor is tracked as your stock held at their site, dispatched with a challan and e-way bill, and reconciled against finished quantities, scrap and returns when parts come back, so principal-supplied material never leaves your books unaccounted.
Delivery timing, receiving non-conformances and responsiveness are drawn from actual transaction data to build automatic scorecards, so ratings reflect real performance rather than manual opinion and feed directly into future order eligibility.
It does. A register holds each vendor's special-process approvals, NADCAP accreditations and delegation records with expiry alerts, so an approval lapse automatically blocks further orders for that process until it is renewed.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We configure Zoho CRM, Books, Inventory and Analytics and add custom vendor-portal and scorecard apps on AWS. We do not sell our own ERP, and the custom code and data are yours.
Yes. We build a vendor portal on your AWS where suppliers acknowledge purchase orders and upload material certificates and Certificates of Conformance, all integrated live with your Zoho records so buyers and quality see submissions immediately.
A receiving non-conformance can raise a supplier corrective-action request, which is tracked to closure with root-cause and containment evidence, and the outcome is reflected back into the vendor rating and, where warranted, the AVL status.
Standing up the AVL, onboarding your existing vendor base and configuring sub-contract flows typically runs a few weeks depending on supplier count and process complexity. We scope it precisely in a free demo and discovery session.
