Solutions · By industry

Manufacturing software, configured for your industry.

Facto is manufacturing ERP software for Indian SME factories. One platform for production, inventory, purchase, quality, despatch and payroll, configured to the way your sector actually works rather than the way a template says it should.

Every industry · Every owner

Configured for your sector —
whatever you make.

Facto adapts to every manufacturing sector, from process industries to discrete production. Standard or completely unique, we build the configuration around you.

What every factory gets, whatever it makes

Underneath the sector differences, the spine is the same. These six run off one shared set of records, which is the whole point: a job card, the material it consumes and the invoice it becomes are the same data seen from three angles.

Production and job tracking

Every order becomes a work order with its stages underneath it, so status is a lookup rather than a walk across the floor. Operators record against the job in Hindi on the phone they already carry.

Inventory and stores

Material is recorded at issue against the job that consumes it, which is what makes a stock report match the racks. Reorder levels and consumption come off the same records.

Purchase and vendors

Indents raised from real shortfalls, rate comparison across vendors, and receipts booked against the order they belong to.

Quality and traceability

Checks and test certificates hang off the batch they belong to instead of living in a separate register, which is what a customer audit twelve months later actually needs.

Despatch, GST and e-way bill

Invoice, IRN and e-way bill generated from one set of data, so the three documents cannot disagree with each other.

People and payroll

Biometric attendance wired to payroll, with overtime approved against real clock data rather than a register.

Where the industries genuinely differ

Most of what a vendor calls industry specialisation is a renamed field. The real differences are narrower than that, and they sit in what a floor has to record and how often the plan moves.

Wire, cable and electrical equipment

A cable is a stack of decisions before it is a product: conductor, cores, insulation, armouring, sheath, voltage grade. That multiplies into thousands of made-to-order variants, and the material cost moves with the copper rate. The system has to hold the current rate in one place and cost every quotation off it.

Machinery, metal fabrication and job shops

Make-to-order work lives or dies on bought-out items and sub-assemblies. Hundreds of motors, gearboxes and panel components arrive against one specific machine, and when that machine gets reconfigured they sit on the rack unclaimed. Booking cutting against jobs is also the only way plate utilisation stops being a guess. Read what a first stock take found at Karm Machine Tools.

Textiles, garments and packaging

Lots and shades have to stay together from greige through to despatch, and a rejected batch needs to be traceable back to the roll it came off. Work is measured in pieces per operation, so the job card has to be quick enough that a floor supervisor keeps using it in week five.

Chemicals, pharma and food

Batch numbers, expiry and test results are the record. Quality data belongs against the batch, not in a parallel register, and the despatch document has to carry the same batch the QC report refers to.

Automotive components and fasteners

Schedules from OEM customers change more often than the plan does. What matters is knowing today's committed quantity per part, what is in process against it, and which delay is going to be visible to the customer before they call.

Stone processing, ceramics and building materials

Heavy, slow-moving work in progress where a single order occupies a machine for weeks. Progress has to be visible as a specific pending step rather than a percentage somebody estimated on a Friday.

How a rollout actually runs

Facto's own engineers run the deployment, on site and remotely. There is no third-party implementation partner between you and the software, and no separate consultancy contract. A focused first phase takes about 6 to 12 weeks; a wider multi-module rollout runs closer to 6 months.

Both of those are real numbers from named plants. Our case studies publish the figures the customers confirmed, including the parts that went slowly.

Still deciding

If you're earlier in the process and still working out what a factory system should cover, our guide to manufacturing software in India walks through the modules, real costs, rollout timelines and the questions worth asking any vendor.

If there are already product names on your shortlist, we compare ourselves head to head with SAP Business One, Odoo, ERPNext and Tally, including the situations where each of them is the better buy.
