KPI cockpitSteel ERP, built around the customer order
Elite Tech does not make steel. We build the ERP and CRM that runs Salem steel and stainless steel manufacturers, one connected system carrying a customer order through knitting, casting and rolling to a checked, packed coil dispatch and the payment after it.
- Built for dispatchers and MSME units across knitting, casting, printing, hot rolling and cold rolling.
- Style-wise costing, grade QC and MTC & dispatch docs handled as native behaviour, not spreadsheets.
- Make-to-order and stock styles on the same rails, routed automatically at order confirmation.
- Configured Zoho + custom AWS where the floor needs it, you own your code and your data.
- Full lot-to-carton traceability, every customer order and style tied to scrap lot, dye lot, machine and coil dispatch for audits and claims.
- Implementation, training and rollout support from an Elite Tech team that knows the Salem steel and stainless steel dispatch cluster.
