The industrial belt around Gurugram, including IMT Manesar and the Bawal industrial area, is home to a large number of manufacturing units, many of them supplying the automotive and engineering sectors. ITELLIC is based in Gurugram, and many of the challenges these units face are common across the region.
Typical Operational Needs
Supplying Large OEMs and Tier-1 Companies
Many units supply components to larger manufacturers. This often means:
- Delivery schedules issued by customers.
- Strict quality and traceability requirements.
- Part numbers and drawing revisions to manage.
- Packaging and labelling requirements.
Job Work
Processes such as machining, heat treatment, plating and painting are frequently done by job workers. Material sent out and returned must be tracked, along with the related GST documentation.
Inventory Across Locations
Raw material, work-in-progress and finished goods may be spread across the plant, job workers and customer warehouses.
Labour and Shifts
Multiple shifts and contract labour make attendance and productivity tracking important.
Modules Worth Prioritising
- Inventory with batch and heat number traceability.
- Production planning against customer schedules.
- Job work tracking.
- Quality control with rejection analysis.
- Dispatch with e-invoices and e-way bills.
- Costing by part number.
Integration With Existing Systems
Many units already use Tally for accounting. ERP can handle operations while sending financial data to Tally, so the accounts team continues in familiar tools. Some customers also require suppliers to use their vendor portals; plan how schedules and invoices will flow.
"For suppliers, ERP is not just internal efficiency. It is how you prove reliability to your customers."
Shop Floor Practicality
- Barcode labels on bins and lots.
- Tablets at workstations for production entries.
- Mobile approvals for supervisors and owners.
A Phased Approach
- Phase 1: inventory, purchase and dispatch.
- Phase 2: production planning and job work.
- Phase 3: quality, maintenance and costing.
Common Questions
Can an ERP handle customer delivery schedules? Yes. Customer schedules can be entered or imported, and production and purchase plans are generated against them, showing what needs to be made and bought for each delivery.
How do we track material at job workers? Each issue and receipt is recorded against the job worker with quantities, so the ERP shows pending material at every vendor and supports the related GST documentation.
Can operators use the system on the shop floor? Simple screens on tablets, barcode scanning and minimal typing make shop floor entries practical. Supervisors can approve entries from their phones.
How long does implementation take for a mid-sized unit? It depends on modules and data readiness. A phased approach, starting with inventory, purchase and dispatch, can show results in a few months, with production and quality modules added after.
