ERP for Satellite Payload & Ground-System Makers
From EEE parts intake through clean-room assembly, integration and test to the delivered ground station, run your space hardware build with flight-grade traceability on one configured Zoho plus AWS system built in Bangalore.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for satellite & ground systems
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.
Flight hardware demands a traceability standard of its own
A satellite payload or a ground-segment system cannot be reworked once it is on orbit, so the discipline is absolute: every EEE part is screened and lot-controlled, every assembly step is done under clean-room and ESD control, and every unit progresses through assembly, integration and test, from engineering model to qualification and flight model, with a complete record. A ground station adds its own antenna, TT and C and box-build build standard. For the Bangalore space cluster feeding ISRO, NSIL and private constellations, the as-built record is a delivery condition.
Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We do not sell a satellite ERP product. We configure Zoho and add custom AWS services so your flight and ground hardware carries its EEE lot pedigree, its clean-room build records, its thermal-vacuum and vibration test evidence and its mass-properties data, from goods-in through to a delivered, accepted unit.
The result is a facility where clean-room contamination and ESD control are supported, where model configuration is unambiguous, and where an ISRO or prime review is answered with the full genealogy and test pedigree of the exact flight unit, not a reconstruction.
The modules that run a satellite and ground-systems plant
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Model & Configuration Control
Manage engineering, qualification and flight model builds under strict configuration and revision control, so each unit is built and recorded to an unambiguous, known standard.
Model & ConfigurationEEE Parts Screening & Lot Control
Track space-grade EEE parts by lot with screening, upscreening and PIND records, manage limited-life items, and tie every part to the flight unit it is installed in.
EEE Parts ScreeningClean-Room & ESD Build Records
Capture assembly steps done under clean-room class and ESD control, with contamination, glove and workmanship checks recorded against each build operation.
Clean-Room & ESDAssembly, Integration & Test (AIT)
Run the AIT flow as a sequenced campaign with harness, integration, alignment and functional checks captured against the payload or bus serial.
Assembly, Integration &Environmental Test Campaign
Manage thermal-vacuum, vibration, acoustic and EMC tests as gated operations, storing the full test evidence before a unit clears each milestone.
Environmental Test CampaignMass Properties & Metrology
Record mass, centre of gravity, moment of inertia and dimensional metrology against the unit, so mass-properties data is captured and controlled through build.
Mass Properties &Ground Station & Antenna Build
Manage ground-segment box-build, antenna, RF and TT and C assembly with their own build standards, calibration and site acceptance records.
Ground Station &As-Built Genealogy & Delivery Records
Give every unit its full as-built genealogy, non-conformance and waiver history, and generate the delivery data package for the customer review board.
As-Built Genealogy &Satellite Payload & Ground 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 EEE parts intake to a delivered flight or ground unit
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
The project order lands
A payload, bus or ground-system order from ISRO, NSIL, a prime or a constellation operator is logged with model, quantities and milestones, and its specification set attached.
Step 1EEE parts and material intake
Space-grade parts and materials are received by lot, screening and upscreening evidence recorded, limited-life items flagged, and stock booked to controlled stores.
Step 2Board and sub-assembly build
Boards and sub-assemblies are built under clean-room and ESD control, with workmanship and inspection recorded against each serial.
Step 3Unit assembly
Sub-assemblies are integrated into payload and bus units under configuration control, with harness and integration steps captured.
Step 4Assembly, integration and test
The AIT campaign runs functional, alignment and interface tests against the unit serial, holding any unit with an open non-conformance.
Step 5Environmental test campaign
Thermal-vacuum, vibration, acoustic and EMC tests are completed as gated milestones, with full evidence stored against the unit before it progresses.
Step 6Mass properties and final metrology
Mass, centre of gravity and dimensional data are measured and recorded, closing out the physical configuration of the flight unit.
Step 7Review board and delivery package
The as-built genealogy, test pedigree and non-conformance history are compiled into the delivery data package for the customer review board.
Step 8Dispatch and ground acceptance
Flight units and ground stations are dispatched with a GST-compliant e-invoice, and ground segments run site acceptance with their records maintained through service.
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.

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 AIT and flight-traceability logic a space facility needs, not a rigid off-the-shelf product.
We understand flight hardware
EEE parts screening, clean-room and ESD control, thermal-vacuum, AIT and model configuration are part of the conversation from the first workshop.
As-built genealogy designed in
EEE lot pedigree, clean-room records and test evidence build into a complete as-built genealogy, so an ISRO or prime review is answered with the full pedigree.
A Bangalore team beside you
Our consultants work from Bengaluru, at the heart of the ISRO and private space cluster, for on-site workshops and controlled go-live support.
Phased, fixed-scope delivery
We start with EEE lot control and AIT records, prove value, then extend to environmental test, mass properties and ground systems on a clear scope.

Your questions answered
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner. We implement a configured Zoho plus custom AWS solution shaped around your payload, bus and ground-system build, not a rigid boxed product.
EEE parts are tracked by lot with screening and upscreening evidence and limited-life flags, and each part is tied to the flight unit it is installed in for full pedigree.
Yes. Assembly steps under clean-room class and ESD control capture contamination, glove and workmanship checks against each build operation for a defensible record.
The assembly, integration and test flow runs as a sequenced campaign with functional, alignment and interface checks captured against the payload or bus serial.
Thermal-vacuum, vibration, acoustic and EMC tests are gated operations. A unit cannot clear a milestone until its full test evidence is stored against the serial.
Yes. As-built genealogy, test pedigree and non-conformance history compile into the delivery data package for the customer or ISRO review board.
Ground-station box-build, antenna, RF and TT and C assembly are managed with their own build standards, calibration and site acceptance records.
A phased first go-live, usually EEE lot control and AIT records, is typically live within weeks. We then extend to environmental test, mass properties and ground systems on an agreed roadmap.
