Prove every operator is qualified before the job starts
A skills matrix that shows who is certified for which special process, whose currency is about to lapse, and who can be scheduled on a job that AS9100 will stand behind. Elite Tech Corporation configures Zoho People and custom AWS to connect skills, certification, shop-floor attendance and payroll in one system.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for aerospace skills & workforce
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.
Skills, certification and workforce in one aerospace system
In aerospace and defence, who does the work is a quality control. An unqualified operator on a special process, or a certification that quietly expired, is a nonconformance and an audit finding waiting to be written. Yet most manufacturers still run skills on a spreadsheet, certification reminders in someone's calendar and attendance on a separate clocking device that never talks to payroll.
Elite Tech Corporation, a Zoho Advanced Partner, configures Zoho People and extends it with custom applications on AWS to bring the skills matrix, operator qualification, training records, shop-floor attendance and payroll into one connected workforce system. Scheduling can then check competency before a person is assigned, and quality can prove qualification for any serial in seconds.
We do not sell our own ERP. We implement configured Zoho tuned to your competency framework, your training and re-certification cycles and your shift and payroll rules, so a Bangalore aerospace supplier working for HAL, ISRO or DRDO can show a continuous chain from operator competency to the part that left the door.
What the workforce ERP manages
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Skills matrix and competency map
A live matrix maps every operator against every skill and special process, with proficiency levels, so planners see qualified coverage and single-point-of-failure gaps at a glance.
Skills matrix andOperator qualification records
Qualification for welding, NDT, composites, torque and other controlled operations is held with evidence, authorising signatory and scope, ready for source-inspector challenge.
Operator qualification recordsCertification currency and renewals
Certifications and licences carry expiry dates with tiered reminders, so re-certification is scheduled before currency lapses rather than discovered after the fact.
Certification currency andTraining and development
Training needs, courses, on-the-job assessments and sign-offs are tracked against each competency, closing the loop from a skills gap to a qualified operator.
Training and developmentShop-floor attendance and shifts
Biometric or badge clocking, shift patterns, overtime and leave feed live labour presence, so supervisors staff the line against who is actually on site.
Shop-floor attendance andLabour time and job booking
Time booked to work orders and operations captures real labour hours by skill, linking workforce cost to programme cost and earned value.
Labour time andPayroll and statutory compliance
Attendance, overtime and leave flow into payroll with PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS handled, so shop-floor time reconciles to pay without re-keying.
Payroll and statutoryAuthorisation and stamp control
Inspection stamps, sign-off authority and delegations are tied to current qualification, so authority is withdrawn the moment a certification lapses.

How workforce data flows from hire to payroll
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Onboard the employee
A new operator is created with role, department, documents and the competency profile their position requires, seeding the skills matrix from day one.
Step 1Baseline competency
Existing skills, qualifications and certifications are assessed and recorded with evidence, so the starting matrix reflects real, proven capability.
Step 2Plan training
Gaps between required and held competency generate a training plan, with courses, mentors and target dates assigned to close each one.
Step 3Qualify and certify
On successful assessment the operator is qualified for the process, the certificate is filed with expiry, and authority is granted within scope.
Step 4Schedule by skill
Planning assigns jobs only to operators currently qualified for the operation, so an unqualified assignment is blocked before it reaches the bench.
Step 5Clock and attend
Shop-floor clocking records presence, shift and overtime, giving supervisors a live picture of who is available to run the line each shift.
Step 6Book labour to jobs
Operators book time against work orders and operations, capturing actual labour hours by skill for costing and earned-value reporting.
Step 7Monitor currency
Tiered reminders flag certifications approaching expiry so renewals are scheduled early and authority is never carried on a lapsed qualification.
Step 8Run payroll
Attendance, overtime, leave and statutory rules feed payroll, reconciling shop-floor time to pay and to programme labour cost.
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.
