NADCAP control for the special processes you send outside
Most Indian aerospace shops do not run heat treat, NDT or plating in-house, they outsource them, and that is exactly where NADCAP risk lives. Elite Tech gives your QMS an approved-supplier gate, captures each process certificate, tracks job-work challans and ITC-04, and warns you before a supplier accreditation lapses, so no controlled operation leaves without a qualified source.
One special-process control layer, built on Zoho Advanced Partner + custom AWS development
Control the special process,
even when it leaves the shop
Approved suppliers, live process certificates and re-qualification alerts, so outsourced heat treat, NDT and plating stay inside NADCAP control.
Outsourced special processes, under real control
Approved-supplier control, process-certificate capture, re-qualification alerts and job-work reconciliation, so every outsourced special operation stays inside NADCAP discipline.

Two 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

NADCAP special-process control, questions answered
No, it is a control module for manufacturers who outsource special processes. It governs which suppliers may perform heat treat, NDT or plating and captures their certificates, rather than running a processing line itself.
The approved-supplier register carries each source's process scope and accreditation expiry. When a special-process operation is raised, the gate only allows a supplier approved for that scope.
The system sends re-qualification alerts ahead of the expiry date. Buyers and quality see the warning early, so requalification or a switch of source happens before work is affected.
Yes, goods sent for job-work and returned are tracked against each challan. The reconciliation gives you the movement data needed for ITC-04 filing without separate registers.
Yes, serial and lot genealogy records the approved supplier and certificate for every special operation, so traceability is complete per part.
Yes, it is built on Zoho plus AWS and layers onto your QMS, adding supplier control and process-cert capture without replacing your inspection workflow.
