Aerospace warehouse and bonded-stores software built for full serial traceability
Elite Tech Corporation configures Zoho Inventory and custom AWS apps so every rivet, forging and line-replaceable unit is received against its material certificate, put away to a barcoded bin, held in bonded customs segregation when needed, and picked into an AS9100-traceable kit before dispatch. Built for aerospace and defence manufacturers across Bangalore and Karnataka.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for bonded stores & warehousing
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.
Stores that know every part number, batch and bin by heart
In aerospace and defence manufacturing a warehouse is not a shelf, it is a controlled-access custody chain. A titanium billet, a bonded avionics module and a free-issue casting from a prime like HAL cannot sit in the same location under the same rules, and a lost material certificate can ground an entire lot. Elite Tech Corporation implements warehouse management on configured Zoho Inventory extended with custom AWS applications so location, batch, shelf-life and customs status travel with the part from goods receipt to dispatch.
As a Zoho Advanced Partner we do not sell a boxed ERP. We configure Zoho Inventory for multi-warehouse, multi-bin storage, then build the aerospace-specific layers your auditors expect: bonded and non-bonded segregation, lot and serial genealogy, shelf-life clocks for adhesives and sealants, and electrostatic-discharge zones for avionics, all on infrastructure you own on AWS.
The result is a single stores backbone where a storekeeper scans a barcode and instantly sees the bin, the batch, the remaining shelf-life, the linked Certificate of Conformance and whether the item is customs-bonded, so material moves to the shop floor as compliant, kitted work packages rather than loose parts.
What the aerospace stores module covers
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Bin and location control
Multi-warehouse, aisle-rack-bin addressing with directed putaway and pick-face rules so every part number has a defined home and mixed-batch bins are prevented at receipt.
Bin and locationBarcode and serial capture
1D and 2D barcode and QR scanning for goods receipt, putaway, transfer and pick, with lot and serial genealogy so a line-replaceable unit is traceable to its raw-material heat number.
Barcode and serialBonded customs stores
Segregated bonded warehouse zones for duty-suspended imports, with bond-register entries, re-warehousing and bill-of-entry linkage kept distinct from domestic free stock for customs audit.
Bonded customs storesKitting and de-kitting
Pick lists build kits against a work-order BOM, reserving exact batches and serials, with de-kit and re-issue handling when an engineering change swaps a part mid-build.
Kitting and de-kittingShelf-life and FEFO
Expiry clocks for sealants, adhesives, composites prepreg and consumables with first-expiry-first-out picking, freezer-log tracking and automatic quarantine of time-expired stock.
Shelf-life and FEFOCycle counting and audit
Perpetual cycle-count schedules by ABC class and bin, blind counts, variance approval and a full stock-movement ledger that stands up to AS9100 and customer surveillance audits.
Cycle counting andESD and controlled storage
Electrostatic-discharge zones, humidity-controlled and calibrated-condition stores for avionics and precision assemblies, with storage-condition flags enforced at putaway.
ESD and controlledPack, dispatch and e-way
Packing lists, serial-linked delivery challans, GST e-invoice with IRN and e-way bill generated from stock reserved against the sales or transfer order, with Certificate of Conformance attached.
Pack, dispatch andAerospace Warehouse & Bonded Stores, 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.

From goods receipt to certified dispatch
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Goods receipt against PO
Inbound material is scanned against the purchase order or free-issue advice, with quantity, batch, heat number and supplier material certificate captured before it can move.
Step 1Incoming inspection hold
Stock lands in a quarantine location and cannot be issued until incoming inspection and, where required, First Article checks pass and the certificate is validated.
Step 2Directed putaway to bin
The system proposes a compliant bin by part class, storage condition and shelf-life, and the storekeeper confirms by barcode scan, writing the location into the item genealogy.
Step 3Bonded or free segregation
Duty-suspended imports are routed to bonded zones with a bond-register entry, while domestic and free-issue stock is held separately so customs and ownership status never blur.
Step 4Shelf-life monitoring
Expiry clocks run in the background, flagging sealants and prepreg approaching end of life and auto-quarantining anything time-expired before it can be kitted.
Step 5Kitting against work order
When a work order releases, a pick list reserves the exact batches and serials from their bins and assembles a traceable kit for the shop floor.
Step 6Free-issue reconciliation
Customer-owned and free-issue material is tracked against consumption and scrap so principal-supplied stock is reconciled back to the prime contractor accurately.
Step 7Pack and generate e-way
Finished assemblies are packed, a serial-linked challan and Certificate of Conformance are produced, and GST e-invoice with IRN and e-way bill are raised in one step.
Step 8Stock ledger and audit trail
Every movement writes to an immutable ledger feeding cycle counts, valuation and the audit evidence your customers and DGAQA reviewers request.
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

Your questions answered
Yes. We configure segregated bonded warehouse zones for duty-suspended imports with a bond register, bill-of-entry linkage and re-warehousing entries kept fully distinct from domestic and free-issue stock, so customs status is never ambiguous during an audit.
It does. Every part carries lot and serial genealogy from goods receipt, so a line-replaceable unit can be traced back to its raw-material heat number, supplier certificate and the bin it was stored in, which is essential for AS9100 and airworthiness evidence.
Customer-owned and free-issue material is flagged and tracked against consumption, scrap and return so principal-supplied stock is reconciled back to the prime contractor accurately, with clear separation from your own inventory valuation.
Yes. Expiry clocks run against each batch with first-expiry-first-out picking, freezer and cold-store logging, and automatic quarantine of time-expired stock so nothing past its life reaches a build kit.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We configure Zoho Inventory, Books, Creator and Analytics and add custom barcode and bonded-register apps on AWS. We do not sell our own ERP, and you own the custom code and your data.
It can. When finished goods are packed against a sales or transfer order, GST tax invoice, e-invoice with IRN and QR, and the e-way bill are generated from reserved stock in one step, with the Certificate of Conformance attached.
Barcode and QR scanning drives receipt, putaway, transfer and picking. Our Bangalore team advises on and helps fit out scanners and label printers, and the custom AWS capture app runs on standard rugged devices you own.
A focused warehouse and bonded-stores rollout typically runs a few weeks depending on part-master complexity, number of locations and integration scope. We scope this precisely in a free demo and discovery session with your team.
