Defence offset management software that keeps every credit audit-ready
Indian primes and Tier-1 suppliers carry offset obligations worth crores against foreign OEM contracts. Elite Tech configures Zoho plus custom AWS to record every IOP, bank each offset credit, and prove IDDM indigenisation content the way DAP-2020 and the Defence Offset Management Wing expect.

Made for defence offset & indigenisation
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.
Turn offset obligations into a tracked, defensible asset
When a foreign OEM wins a defence contract in India, the offset clause hands work, technology and investment to Indian Offset Partners (IOPs). For a Bangalore supplier feeding HAL programmes or an ISRO-linked component maker, that obligation is an opportunity, but only if every discharged value is documented, valued and banked to the satisfaction of the Defence Offset Management Wing.
Most manufacturers track offsets in spreadsheets that drift out of sync with purchase orders, indigenisation milestones and DGQA acceptance. When the annual offset audit arrives, teams scramble to reconstruct which shipments counted, which multipliers applied, and how much credit was actually banked. Rejected claims mean penalties and lost future orders.
Elite Tech Corporation configures Zoho and builds custom AWS apps so offset banking, IOP relationships, IDDM content calculation and DAP-2020 evidence live in one connected system. We do not sell our own ERP. We implement a platform shaped around your programmes, with the audit trail baked in from the first transaction.
What the offset and indigenisation platform manages
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Offset obligation register
A living ledger of every offset commitment against each foreign OEM contract, with obligation value, discharge deadline, applicable multipliers and running balance so you always know exposure at a glance.
Offset obligation registerOffset credit banking
Capture, value and bank discharged credits as they accrue, carry forward unclaimed balances within the permitted window, and reconcile banked totals against the obligation before each annual submission.
Offset credit bankingIOP and vendor mapping
Link each Indian Offset Partner and eligible product to the discharge routes it supports, from direct purchase to technology transfer and investment, with eligibility flags per DAP-2020 avenues.
IOP and vendorIDDM content calculator
Compute indigenous content by value for every assembly using its BOM, so Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured thresholds are proven line by line rather than estimated.
IDDM content calculatorDGQA and airworthiness evidence
Attach inspection acceptance, certificates of conformance and material certs to each discharge event, giving DGQA-ready proof that the offset work was actually delivered and accepted.
DGQA and airworthinessMilestone and deadline alerts
Automated reminders for offset phasing milestones, LTA renewals and banking windows so no discharge value lapses unclaimed because a date was missed.
Milestone and deadlineClaim submission dossier
Assemble the annual offset claim as a structured dossier with supporting documents, valuation working and multiplier justification ready for the Defence Offset Management Wing.
Claim submission dossierProgramme cost and EVM view
Tie offset discharge into programme earned-value so leadership sees indigenisation progress and offset banking beside cost and schedule performance on one dashboard.

From offset clause to banked credit, end to end
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Capture the obligation
The offset value, currency, discharge period and eligible avenues from the foreign OEM contract are recorded in the obligation register with multipliers pre-set per DAP-2020.
Step 1Plan discharge routes
Map how the obligation will be met across direct purchase, sub-contracting to IOPs, technology transfer and investment, and assign target values to each route.
Step 2Onboard Indian Offset Partners
Register each IOP with eligibility documents, product scope and the discharge avenue it serves, ready to link against purchase orders.
Step 3Execute the work order
Production and procurement run in the configured Zoho manufacturing flow, so every eligible PO, sub-contract and shipment is captured against its offset route automatically.
Step 4Calculate indigenous content
The IDDM calculator reads each BOM to compute indigenous content by value, tagging assemblies that clear the programme threshold.
Step 5Record DGQA acceptance
Inspection results, certificates of conformance and DGQA acceptance are logged against the discharge event as delivery evidence.
Step 6Value and bank the credit
Discharged value is multiplied, valued and banked to the obligation ledger, with unclaimed balances carried forward within the allowed window.
Step 7Compile the annual claim
The system builds the offset claim dossier with valuation working, multiplier justification and supporting documents for submission.
Step 8Audit and reconcile
A full transaction trail lets internal audit and the Defence Offset Management Wing trace every banked rupee back to a PO, shipment and acceptance record.

Your questions answered
It is a system that records every offset obligation from foreign OEM defence contracts, tracks how each is discharged through Indian Offset Partners, values and banks the resulting credits, and keeps the evidence needed for DAP-2020 and Defence Offset Management Wing audits. Elite Tech delivers this on configured Zoho plus custom AWS.
Yes. Discharged value is valued with the applicable multiplier and banked against the obligation. Unclaimed balances are carried forward within the permitted window, and the ledger always shows banked total versus remaining obligation.
The system reads each assembly's BOM and computes indigenous content by value, so Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured thresholds are proven line by line rather than estimated. Assemblies that clear the programme threshold are tagged automatically.
Yes. Obligation avenues, multipliers and eligibility rules are configured to reflect the Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020, and the claim dossier is structured for the Defence Offset Management Wing submission format.
Yes. Inspection results, certificates of conformance, material certificates and DGQA acceptance are attached to each discharge event, giving a defensible link between the offset credit claimed and the work actually delivered.
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We configure Zoho products and build custom apps on AWS around your offset process. You own the custom code and your data, and there is no proprietary lock-in to an Elite Tech product.
Yes. The obligation register, IOP mapping and banking ledger scale from a single supplier discharging one obligation to a prime managing offsets across many programmes, so the platform grows with your portfolio.
A focused offset and indigenisation rollout typically goes live in a few weeks because we build on configured Zoho rather than coding from scratch. We start with your live obligations, map your discharge routes, and phase in IDDM and EVM once the register is running.
