ERP for Aerospace Surface Treatment and Plating Shops
From the incoming aircraft part and its process routing, to bath titration, current density and the hydrogen embrittlement relief bake, to the salt spray result and the NADCAP-ready certificate that ships with each serial, Elite Tech runs your whole chemical-processing line on configured Zoho plus custom AWS.

Made for surface treatment & plating
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.
Special processes that pass audit, not paperwork that slows the line
An aerospace surface treatment shop lives or dies on process control. A hard anodise on a 7075 airframe fitting, a cadmium plate on a landing gear pin, a passivation on a titanium bracket for an ISRO subsystem, each one carries a specification, a set of bath parameters and a certificate that a prime contractor or DGAQA inspector can pull years later. When those records sit in tank-side logbooks and loose Excel sheets, every NADCAP re-audit becomes a scramble and every rejection is expensive to trace.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We do not sell a boxed plating ERP. We configure Zoho and build custom AWS services so your line control, bath chemistry, embrittlement relief, testing and certification live in one connected system that mirrors how anodising and electroplating actually run on the Karnataka shop floor.
The result is a single source of truth. A part arrives against a job-work challan, moves through racking, cleaning, activation, plating and bake, gets its coating thickness and salt spray verified, and leaves with a traceable certificate of conformance. Bath additions, titration results and rectifier amp-hours are captured as the work happens, so your NADCAP evidence is a report, not a reconstruction.
Everything a chemical-processing line needs, modelled in
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Process routing and spec control
Each part carries its approved process spec, sequence and acceptance limits: pre-clean, etch, desmut, anodise or plate, seal, rinse and bake. Operators cannot skip a step or run to a superseded revision.
Process routing andBath and tank chemistry
Live tank register with concentration, temperature, pH and additive dosing. Titration results are logged per shift and out-of-range baths are held before a single part is loaded.
Bath and tankRectifier and process parameters
Capture current density, voltage, amp-hours, immersion time and rack count per load. Type II and Type III hard anodise recipes are enforced by the routing, not by memory.
Rectifier and processHydrogen embrittlement relief
High-strength steel plating triggers a mandatory relief bake within the specified window. The system schedules the oven cycle and blocks release until the bake and its time-temperature record are complete.
Hydrogen embrittlement reliefTesting and quality results
Coating thickness, adhesion, salt spray to ASTM B117, hydrogen embrittlement lot testing and NADCAP special-process checks recorded against the batch, with pass and fail dispositioned.
Testing and qualityCertificates of conformance
A traceable CoC per lot or serial links the spec, bath data, bake record and test results into one document the prime contractor or DGAQA can accept without a follow-up call.
Certificates of conformanceEffluent, hazardous and hex-chrome control
Track effluent treatment plant logs, hex-chrome and REACH substance usage, and hazardous consumable stock so environmental compliance sits inside the same records, not a separate binder.
Effluent, hazardous andJob-work, GST and ITC-04
Most plating is inbound job work. Manage inward and outward challans, quantity reconciliation and ITC-04 filing for goods received from principal manufacturers across Karnataka.
Job-work, GST andAnodising · Plating · Passivation · Chem-Film, 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.

How a batch moves through the shop
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Inward and identification
Parts arrive against a customer job-work challan, are counted, matched to the purchase order and tagged to a batch. Any part number without an approved process spec is held at the gate.
Step 1Incoming inspection
Base material, prior condition and masking requirements are verified. Damaged or contaminated parts are quarantined before they touch a tank.
Step 2Masking and racking
Areas to be protected are masked to the drawing, parts are racked or loaded to barrels, and rack count is recorded to drive amp-hour calculation.
Step 3Surface preparation
Degrease, alkaline clean, etch and desmut steps run to the routing with bath parameters confirmed in range at each station.
Step 4Anodise or plate
The controlling operation runs against the enforced recipe: current density, voltage, amp-hours and time captured live for anodise, cadmium, nickel, chrome or passivation.
Step 5Seal, rinse and dry
Sealing, chromate conversion or post-treatment and controlled rinsing are logged, with water quality and temperature recorded where the spec demands it.
Step 6Embrittlement relief bake
For plated high-strength steel, the mandatory relief bake is scheduled, run and time-temperature stamped before the batch can progress.
Step 7Test and disposition
Coating thickness, adhesion and salt spray results are entered against the batch. Conforming work is released, non-conforming work is routed to a documented MRB decision.
Step 8Certify and dispatch
The certificate of conformance is generated, the outward job-work challan is raised with ITC-04 reconciliation, and traceability closes back to the originating serial.

Why Elite Tech Corporation
A complete Zoho and AWS partner that builds the custom apps generic ERPs cannot, purpose fitted to how your team actually sells and builds.
We configure, we do not resell a box
As a Zoho Advanced Partner we tailor Zoho and build custom AWS around your process specs, so the ERP fits your line rather than forcing your line to fit software.
We speak special-process language
Amp-hours, desmut, chromate conversion, relief bakes and salt spray are not jargon to us. We design workflows that map to AC7108-style chemical processing controls.
NADCAP evidence by design
Traceability, in-range enforcement and complete records are captured as work happens, so re-accreditation is a report you export, not weeks of gathering paper.
Rooted in Bangalore
Our consultants are in Bengaluru, close to the HAL, ISRO and defence supplier ecosystem your shop already serves, available for on-site work when you need it.
One platform, no silos
Chemistry, testing, certification, job-work GST and analytics live in one connected system, ending the reconciliation between logbooks, spreadsheets and accounts.

Your questions answered
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We configure Zoho and build custom AWS services so the system matches your process specifications, tank layout and certification needs rather than shipping a rigid boxed product.
Yes. Each part carries its spec, sequence and acceptance limits. Operators cannot skip a mandatory step, run a superseded revision or release a batch before required parameters and tests are recorded in range.
Plating on high-strength steel automatically triggers a mandatory relief bake within the specified window. The oven cycle is scheduled and the batch is blocked from release until the bake and its time-temperature record are complete.
It is designed to. Bath titration, current density, amp-hours, bakes and test results are captured as work happens, giving you the traceable, in-range evidence that AC7108 and AC7004 audits expect.
Yes. A live tank register holds concentration, temperature, pH and additive dosing, with titration logged per shift. Out-of-range baths are held before any part is loaded.
It does. Inward and outward job-work challans, quantity reconciliation against principal manufacturers and ITC-04 filing support are built in, since most plating shops run largely on inbound job work.
Yes. Coating thickness, adhesion, salt spray to ASTM B117 and embrittlement lot testing are recorded against the batch, dispositioned as pass or fail, and linked into the certificate of conformance.
Yes. Our consultants work from Bengaluru and support surface treatment shops across Karnataka and India, including on-site sessions during implementation and audit preparation.
