Thirvu Soft helps Coimbatore manufacturers track each order from purchase through production to dispatch. See which parts are with subcontractors, which jobs are waiting for inspection and what each finished order costs. Book a demo in Tamil or English using a workflow from your industry.
Manufacturing ERP software only helps if it answers the questions your plant asks every day. Pick your industry to see the question, the workflow and the report we would show you. Every workflow below is an example; a consultant confirms it against your process before anything is set up.
“Which dealer orders can we dispatch this week, and what is holding the rest?”
Report: Dispatch readiness by order
Example workflowMotor makers also see copper issued, returned, scrap and actual consumption for every winding job.
“At ₹85 quoted per piece, what did we actually earn per accepted piece?”₹85 is an illustration, not a price.
Report: Quoted versus actual job cost
Example workflowJob cost is set against accepted pieces, so rejections and rework show up in the margin.
“Which other customers received castings from a rejected heat?”
Report: Invoice-to-heat trace
Example workflowFor ferrous and non-ferrous foundries: every invoice line points back to its heat, and every heat forward to its invoices.
Laser cutting, bending, welding, purchased parts, coating and installation on one job, such as a compressor enclosure or a custom commercial kitchen unit.
Report: Job margin including offcuts and rework Example
Traders and service centres track grade, thickness, length and weight, cut pieces and remnants. Plating, heat-treatment and coating shops track customer challans in and out.
Report: Material still owed to or by each customer or vendor Example
See this in a demo for Metal traders, service centres & finishing shops
Model-specific motor, stone set and drum, dealer dispatch, serial number and warranty, so a service call traces back to the unit and its parts.
Report: Repeat service calls by model and component Example
Cotton lot to yarn count, with waste and yield recorded at each stage.
Report: Yield and waste by cotton lot and count Example
Revised BOMs, machine serial numbers and spare-part compatibility for each machine in the field.
Report: Spare-part compatibility by machine serial Example
OEM delivery schedules, drawing revisions, outside operations, inspection release and order shortages.
Report: Promised versus cleared quantity by delivery date Example
See this in a demo for Automotive, gears, valves & compressors
Rotational moulders track mould ID, powder weight, resin grade, oven run, fuel allocation, finishing and inspection for each tank or hollow part. Tool makers track design, fabrication, trials and mould repair as separate jobs. Injection moulders track shots, cavities and rejects.
Report: Cost per saleable part by mould Example
Start a discovery discussion for Rotational moulding, tool makers & injection moulders
Coimbatore is one of the five nodes of Tamil Nadu's defence industrial corridor, and the city's small-industries association runs a defence innovation and incubation centre. Sources: CODISSIA Defence Innovation and Atal Incubation Centre, SIPCOT policy note 2023-24.
Illustration, using a fictional machined bracket: the history of each part is one chain of records.
Example workflowStandard ERPNext records batches and serial numbers, quality inspections against item templates, subcontracting with material sent and received, and file attachments such as certificates on each record. If your customer requires a control we have not yet implemented, we will say so and scope it with you in a discovery discussion.
Twenty pump casings went to a CNC vendor for machining. Each pump needs one casing, and every other part and operation is ready. Here is what the vendor balance and quality hold say.
| Casings | Qty |
|---|---|
| Sent to the CNC vendor | 20 |
| Returned from the vendor | 16 |
| of which accepted | 14 |
| of which on quality hold | 2 |
| Still at the vendor | 4 |
| Accepted + on hold + at vendor | 14 + 2 + 4 = 20 |
So the honest answer is 14 this week, not 20, unless the 2 on hold are cleared and the 4 at the vendor come back in time.
Coimbatore’s Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW) went live with the first phase of Oracle E-Business Suite in 2003. By July 2004, it was using the system across purchasing, manufacturing, sales and finance, with product lifecycle management completing the second phase. LMW reported 20% revenue growth over the previous year and credited better manufacturing efficiency and financial automation with helping it grow revenue and reduce costs.

For a growing Coimbatore factory, start with one customer order. Can sales see which parts are still at the machine shop, when the order can ship and what margin it will earn?
The city also makes pumps at Suguna Pumps, air compressors at ELGi Equipments, powertrain and aluminium parts at Craftsman Automation and gearboxes at Shanthi Gears. Public examples from each company’s website, not Thirvu Soft customers.
Thirvu Soft implements and customises ERPNext, an open-source ERP, for manufacturers in Coimbatore. A project moves through seven steps, and you see your own data working before go-live.
ERPNext has no licence fee or per-user fee. You pay for implementation, hosting and support, and the quote depends on:

Yes. ERPNext subcontracting records the material you send to a vendor, what comes back, what is still with them and what was consumed or rejected, so the vendor balance is always visible before you promise a delivery date.
Each work order or job collects material issued, operation time from job cards at your machine hour rates, subcontract charges and rework. Dividing by accepted quantity gives the actual cost per accepted piece, which you can compare with the quoted rate.
Yes. Many factories go live with purchase, stock, sales and GST invoicing first, then add BOMs, work orders and job cards once item data is clean. The same system grows; nothing is re-implemented.
Yes. Demos and training are given in Tamil or English, using a workflow from your industry. ERPNext screens are in English; print formats such as invoices and challans can carry Tamil text.
The number of production sites, the workflows to configure, integrations, the quality of your existing data, hosting and any custom development. ERPNext has no licence fee, so the quote covers implementation, hosting and support.
ERPNext has no per-user licence, so a ten-person job shop and a large plant both pay for implementation, not seats. Small units usually start with sales, purchase, stock and GST billing and add manufacturing later.
More than most owners expect. Your production head and accountant need to join discovery, check migrated data before go-live and attend their training. We fix these dates at the start so the plant can plan around them.
They stay with you. ERPNext is open source, the database is yours to export, and custom code is handed over so any Frappe developer can maintain it.
