Made for tooling, jigs & fixtures
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.
Tooling is a one-off business, so your ERP has to be too
Aircraft tooling is not repeat-batch manufacturing. Every drill jig, assembly fixture, holding fixture, checking gauge and piece of ground support equipment is engineered to order against a specific airframe datum, a specific customer drawing and a specific milestone. A spreadsheet that tracks tool steel and a separate one that tracks tool-room hours cannot hold a programme together when a HAL or Tier-1 line is waiting on your fixture to start assembly.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We do not sell a boxed tooling product. We configure Zoho and pair it with custom AWS services so your enquiry, tool design release, machining schedule, bench fitting, tryout and proving, dimensional inspection and calibration all live in one place, with the tool number as the thread that ties them together.
The result is a tool room where the designer, the CNC programmer, the fitter and the quality engineer see the same job card, the same engineering BOM and the same open non-conformances, so nothing is proven twice and no fixture ships without its calibration certificate and First Article Inspection record.
The modules that run a tooling and fixtures plant
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Tool Design & Engineering BOM
Capture each tool as a configured item with its design revision, datum scheme, sub-parts and bought-out components. Release a controlled engineering BOM for every jig, fixture, gauge or GSE assembly and lock changes behind revision control.
Tool Design &Tool-Room Job Cards
Issue digital job cards to milling, turning, grinding, EDM and bench stations. Machinists log setup, run and idle time against the tool number so you see real tool-room load and true cost per fixture, not a guess.
Tool-Room Job CardsJig & Fixture Configuration Control
Every locating pin, clamp and rest pad is tracked to its drawing revision. When the customer moves a hole, the ERP shows which built fixtures are affected and drives the rework or new-build decision.
Jig & FixtureTryout & Proving Records
Log tryout on the mating part, capture proving results, blue-match and fit checks, and attach photos and reports. A fixture is only released once its proving record is complete and signed.
Tryout & ProvingCalibration & Gauge Management
Schedule calibration for checking fixtures, gauges and CMM-verified tools. Track due dates, recall out-of-cal items and store certificates so every gauge that touches an airframe part is traceable.
Calibration & GaugeGSE Build & Kitting
Manage ground support equipment builds as project bills with kitting, assembly stages and functional checks, so trolleys, stands, slings and handling rigs ship complete with their test records.
GSE Build &AS9102 First Article Inspection
Generate FAI forms tied to the tool, its characteristics and its measured results. Balloon the drawing, record actuals and hold the tool until the FAI is accepted.
AS9102 First ArticleTool Life, Asset Tag & Refurbishment
Give every delivered tool a serial and asset tag, track usage, and run refurbishment and re-certification as AMC jobs when the customer returns a worn fixture.
Tool Life, AssetAircraft Tooling, Jigs & Fixtures, 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 OEM enquiry to a signed, calibrated fixture
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
The enquiry lands
An OEM or Tier-1 sends a fixture or GSE enquiry with drawings. It is logged as an opportunity with the airframe programme, target milestone and drawing set attached, so nothing sits in an inbox.
Step 1Estimation and DFM
The tool designer sizes the build, flags design-for-manufacture concerns on locating and clamping, and a costed quote is raised covering tool steel, bought-outs, tool-room hours and tryout time.
Step 2Order and engineering BOM release
On order, the tool is created as a configured item and its engineering BOM is released under revision control, feeding procurement and the tool room from one source.
Step 3Material and bought-out procurement
Tool steel, standard clamps, pins, bushes and pneumatics are purchased against the BOM, with goods receipt and inspection booked to the tool number.
Step 4Tool-room machining
Job cards drive milling, grinding, EDM and jig boring. Operators log time and completion so the programme control view shows exactly which fixtures are on the machines.
Step 5Bench fitting and assembly
Fitters assemble the jig or fixture, set locators and clamps, and record fit and function against the build sheet.
Step 6Tryout and proving
The fixture is proven on the mating part or a master. Blue-match, fit and repeatability results are captured, and any non-conformance drives rework before sign-off.
Step 7Dimensional inspection and FAI
Critical characteristics are measured, often on a CMM, and the AS9102 First Article Inspection is completed and accepted.
Step 8Handover, calibration and AMC
The tool ships with its proving report, FAI and calibration certificate, a GST-compliant e-invoice is raised, and the asset is enrolled for future re-certification and refurbishment.

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.
Zoho Advanced Partner plus AWS
We configure proven Zoho apps and add custom AWS services for the shop-floor logic a tool room needs, rather than forcing you into a rigid off-the-shelf product.
We speak tool-room
Datums, locators, blue-match, tryout, jig boring and gauge calibration are not jargon to us. Requirements workshops move fast because we know the domain.
AS9100 and AS9102 aware from day one
Revision control, First Article Inspection, calibration recall and traceability are designed in, so your quality system is supported, not bolted on later.
A Bangalore team beside you
Our consultants sit in Bengaluru, close to HAL, the Tier-1 base and the wider Karnataka A and D cluster, for on-site workshops and go-live support.
Phased, fixed-scope delivery
We start with the highest-pain area, often job cards and BOM control, prove value, then extend to calibration, GSE and AMC on a clear scope and budget.
Zoho ERP vs traditional ERP for aerospace & defence manufacturers
A side-by-side look at how a Zoho ERP delivered by Elite Tech compares with legacy and generic ERP software for a Bangalore aerospace & defence manufacturer.

Your questions answered
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We implement a configured Zoho plus custom AWS solution shaped around your tool room. You get proven software tailored to jigs, fixtures, gauges and GSE, not a rigid box.
Yes. Each tool is a configured item with its own engineering BOM, job cards and tryout record. The system is built for one-off and low-volume tooling rather than repeat batches.
You balloon the drawing, capture characteristics and measured actuals, and hold the tool until the FAI is accepted. The record is tied to the tool number and stored for audit.
Yes. Calibration schedules, recall of out-of-cal items and stored certificates are built in, so every checking fixture and gauge that touches an airframe part stays traceable.
Ground support equipment is handled as project bills with kitting, assembly stages and functional checks, so trolleys, stands and handling rigs are managed like the tooling programmes.
Zoho Books raises GST-compliant invoices, e-invoices and e-way bills for dispatched fixtures and GSE, with costing tracked against each tool number.
Measured results and inspection reports are captured against the tool and its FAI. We work with your inspection workflow so CMM results feed the release decision.
A phased first go-live, typically job cards and BOM control, is usually live in a matter of weeks. We then extend to calibration, tryout, GSE and AMC on an agreed roadmap.
