Fastener manufacturing ERP for high-SKU aerospace lots
Aerospace fasteners mean thousands of SKUs, tight lot control, plating and heat-treat, and certs that must match every batch. Elite Tech's fastener manufacturing ERP handles high-SKU part masters, controls lots from wire to packed box, drives plating and special processes, and ties mill and test certificates to each lot, so every batch ships AS9100-compliant and fully traceable.

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
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

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
Components allocated to the order.
Integration

The RFQ-to-invoice journey
The RFQ lands
An RFQ or tender, for example a machined titanium bracket, qty 200 to drawing rev C, auto-creates a lead with source, part and programme tagged.

Step 2 of 6Click-to-call
Screen-pop with the record.
Requirement capture
Spec, material, tolerance, standard.
Recording & task
Auto follow-up scheduled.
Qualified & converted
Converted to a customer account and a contract in the Aerospace Sales pipeline; a Blueprint enforces the process.
Step 3 of 6Customer account
Contact and account created.
Price book
Part numbers pulled automatically.
Blueprint

| Data & lock-in | ✓ Own your data & code | ✕ Proprietary, hard to exit |
Fastener ERP, questions answered
A structured part master organises SKUs by size, thread, material and finish, so a catalogue of thousands stays clean and searchable. New variants are added as controlled records rather than duplicated part numbers, which keeps quoting and stock accurate.
Every lot is traced from its wire heat through forming, plating and packing, with quantity reconciled at each step. If a batch is ever questioned, you can isolate exactly which boxes came from which wire and process run.
Yes. They run as outsourced special-process job-work with NADCAP-qualified suppliers, challans, GST rules and ITC-04 tracking, so material at a plater is always accounted for and returns matched against what was sent.
Chemistry, mechanical and coating test certificates are tied to each lot and flow into the dispatch pack, so the paperwork that ships with a box of fasteners always matches the actual batch inside it.
Yes. Gauging, sampling plans and inspection records are captured per lot with disposition, giving the quality evidence AS9100 audits and customer source inspections expect.
The core SKU-and-lot-to-dispatch flow usually goes live in 15 to 45 days, with plating control, certificates and AS9100 inspection phased in as data is cleaned up.
