Built for Pune’s land-systems base
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 Pune's defence and land-systems ecosystem
Few Indian cities carry Pune's defence depth. The DRDO cluster here, from the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) and the Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) to the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, has seeded a manufacturing base that turns research into hardware. Around it sit Bharat Forge and the wider Kalyani group's strategic-systems work, a deep automotive base in Pimpri-Chinchwad, and the MIDC estates at Chakan, Talegaon and Bhosari that supply artillery, land-systems and armoured-vehicle components.
Defence land-systems work brings its own discipline. Development and production orders demand configuration control, First Article Inspection, proof and acceptance records, serial and lot genealogy on ordnance and structural parts, NADCAP special processes and inspectorate sign-off, all traceable for the life of the platform. Auto-heritage shops in the PCMC and Chakan belt scaling into defence often find their existing systems cannot hold that chain of evidence.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Bengaluru-based Zoho Advanced Partner working with defence manufacturers across India, Pune included. We do not sell a boxed ERP. We implement configured Zoho with custom apps on AWS so a Chakan forging or land-systems supplier gets programme-mode costing with earned value, inspectorate-ready traceability and GST e-invoicing, shaped to how Pune defence contracts run.
What the Pune defence 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 DRDO or defence PSU contract as a programme with work-breakdown structure, earned-value tracking and milestone billing, so development and production stay on cost.
Programme & EVMConfiguration & change control
Multi-level BOMs with revision and effectivity control, so design changes on land-systems assemblies flow cleanly and no superseded part is built.
Configuration & changeAS9100 quality & FAI
Quality gates, First Article Inspection, non-conformance and CAPA against every part, giving Pune suppliers the evidence primes and inspectorates require.
AS9100 quality &Proof, acceptance & inspectorate
Capture proof and acceptance test results and inspectorate sign-off stages, so ordnance and land-systems acceptance is recorded against the serial as it happens.
Proof, acceptance &Serial & lot genealogy
Full traceability from forged billet or plate through machining and assembly to delivered hardware, with certificates linked for life-of-platform recall.
Serial & lotNADCAP special processes
Track heat treatment, forging, plating, welding and NDT through approved processors, capturing certificates against the serial before the next stage.
NADCAP special processesSubcontract & vendor control
Manage the extensive outside machining, forging and finishing the Pune belt relies on, with free-issue material tracked and reconciled per order.
Subcontract & vendorGST e-invoice & e-way bill
India-native GST tax invoice, IRN with QR and e-way bill generated in-system, with stock reserved for controlled, auditable defence dispatch.
GST e-invoice &Pune Defence Manufacturing 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 Pune defence order, end to end
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Requirement & tender intake
A DRDO, PSU or prime requirement lands in CRM with the specification, quantity, quality and proof clauses and schedule captured against the programme.
Step 1Estimation & quotation
Cost from material, forging, machining, special processes, proof testing and inspectorate effort, then issue a controlled quotation reflecting true defence overhead.
Step 2Contract & WBS setup
On award, create the programme with work-breakdown structure, milestones and earned-value baseline so progress is measured against plan.
Step 3Engineering BOM & routing
Release configuration-controlled BOMs and routings with effectivity, so the shop always builds to the approved land-systems standard.
Step 4Procurement & material control
Raise purchase orders for forgings, plate and long-lead items, capturing mill and material certificates and reserving stock against the programme.
Step 5Forging, machining & assembly
Work orders drive forging, machining, fabrication and assembly, 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 7Proof, acceptance & dispatch
Record proof and acceptance results and inspectorate sign-off, clear from bonded stores, and generate Certificate of Conformance, GST e-invoice and e-way bill.
Step 8Spares, MRO & repeat orders
Retain serial history so spares, overhaul and repeat production orders link straight back to the original manufacture and acceptance records.
