ERP for Aerospace Gears & Transmission Makers
Blank to green-run gearbox, run your gear cutting, heat treatment, grinding, metrology and transmission test on one configured Zoho plus AWS system built for aerospace gear shops in Bangalore and Karnataka.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for gears & transmission production
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.
A gear is a stack of special processes, so traceability is everything
An aerospace gear or a helicopter transmission housing is defined less by the machining and more by the sequence of special processes behind it: hobbing or shaping, carburising and case-hardening, grinding to a tight DIN or AGMA class, shot peening, magnetic particle inspection and finally a gear metrology report on profile, lead and pitch. Lose the link between the heat-treat batch and the serial and you lose the ability to answer a HAL or DRDO airworthiness query.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We do not sell a gear ERP product. We configure Zoho and add custom AWS services so every gear blank carries its full routing, its heat-treat furnace charge, its metrology chart and its non-conformances from raw material through to the green-run test on the assembled gearbox.
That means when an auditor or a customer asks for the pedigree of gear serial number, your team pulls the material certificate, the NADCAP heat-treat record, the grinding parameters, the metrology result and the gearbox test report in one trace, not from six binders.
The modules that run a gear and transmission plant
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Gear Routing & Special-Process Control
Model each gear with its full route: soft machining, hobbing or shaping, heat treatment, hard grinding, peening and inspection. Enforce the sequence so no operation is skipped or booked out of order.
Gear Routing &Heat-Treat Batch & Furnace Charge
Track carburising and case-hardening by furnace charge, recipe and load, linking every gear serial to its heat-treat batch, case depth result and NADCAP-approved process.
Heat-Treat Batch &Gear Metrology & Class Records
Capture profile, lead, pitch and runout results against the drawing class. Hold gears that fall outside tolerance and drive the correction or concession.
Gear Metrology &Material & Forging Traceability
Link every blank and forging to its material certificate and heat number, so raw-material pedigree flows all the way to the finished gear and gearbox.
Material & ForgingGearbox Assembly & BOM
Manage transmission and gearbox assembly with multi-level BOMs, backlash and mesh settings, shim selection and torque records captured at the build station.
Gearbox Assembly &Green-Run & Transmission Test
Record gearbox test runs, load and endurance results, temperature and vibration checks, and release the unit only when the full test record is complete and signed.
Green-Run & TransmissionNADCAP & AS9100 Quality
Manage special-process approvals, First Article Inspection to AS9102, non-conformance and concession, and CAPA within the quality workflow gears demand.
NADCAP & AS9100Serial Traceability & Life Tracking
Give every gear and gearbox a serial, track its build pedigree, and support life-limited-part records for in-service transmissions and overhaul.
Serial Traceability &Aerospace Gears & Transmission Systems, 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 forging to a signed green-run report
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
The programme order arrives
A gearbox or gear-set order from an OEM, HAL division or DRDO lab is logged with quantities, class and delivery milestones, and its drawing and spec set attached.
Step 1Material and forging inward
Blanks and forgings are received against material certificates and heat numbers, inspected, and booked into bonded stock with full traceability.
Step 2Soft machining and gear cutting
Turning, hobbing or shaping is run under routed job cards, with operators logging setup and cutting time against the gear serial.
Step 3Heat treatment
Gears go to carburising and case-hardening by furnace charge. The recipe, load and case-depth result are linked to each serial under NADCAP-approved control.
Step 4Hard grinding
Post heat-treat distortion is removed by gear grinding to the target class, with wheel, dress and parameter data captured for the record.
Step 5Peening and NDT
Shot peening and magnetic particle inspection are recorded as special-process operations with their own accept and reject gates.
Step 6Gear metrology
Profile, lead, pitch and runout are measured and charted against the drawing class, and any deviation drives a concession or rework decision.
Step 7Gearbox assembly
Gears, shafts and housings are built into the transmission with backlash, shim and torque records captured at each station.
Step 8Green-run test and release
The gearbox is run under load, temperature and vibration are logged, the signed test report is stored, and a GST-compliant e-invoice is raised on dispatch.
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
Structural fittings, brackets, shafts and engine parts machined on 5-axis against per-part routings, with standard times, first-piece approval and NADCAP special-process control.
Stage 1 of 5Per-part routings
Standard times set for every operation.
First-piece approval
Sign-off before the batch runs.
Special processes
Heat-treat, plating, NDT tracked.
Sub-assembly
Wiring harnesses, avionics modules and composite lay-ups are built and checked before they feed the main integration line.
Stage 2 of 5Harness & composites
Sub-assemblies built to spec.
Pre-join inspection
Checked before joining the line.
Reserved to job

Case depth, DIN class, backlash, green-run and NADCAP are part of the conversation from the first workshop, so scoping is fast and accurate.
Traceability designed in
Material heat number to heat-treat charge to metrology to gearbox serial is one unbroken chain, ready for an airworthiness or customer audit.
A Bangalore team beside you
Our consultants work from Bengaluru, close to HAL, the transmission cluster and Karnataka defence labs, for on-site workshops and go-live support.
Phased, fixed-scope delivery
We begin with routing and heat-treat traceability, prove value, then extend to metrology, gearbox test and life tracking on a clear scope and budget.

Your questions answered
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We implement a configured Zoho plus custom AWS solution shaped around your gear and transmission processes, not a rigid boxed product.
Carburising and case-hardening are tracked by furnace charge, recipe and load, with case-depth results linked to each gear serial under NADCAP-approved control, giving unbroken pedigree.
Yes. Profile, lead, pitch and runout are recorded against the drawing class. Out-of-tolerance gears are held and routed to concession or rework before release.
Transmission assembly uses multi-level BOMs with backlash, shim and torque records, and green-run test results are captured and signed before the unit is released.
Every blank and forging is linked to its material certificate and heat number, and that pedigree flows through to the finished gear and gearbox serial.
Special-process approvals, AS9102 First Article Inspection, non-conformance, concession and CAPA are built into the quality workflow that aerospace gears require.
Yes. Serials carry their build pedigree and support life-limited-part records, which helps with in-service tracking and overhaul of transmissions.
A phased first go-live, usually routing and heat-treat traceability, is typically live within weeks. We then extend to metrology, gearbox test and analytics on an agreed roadmap.
