Engineering ERP Software for Make-to-Order Manufacturers
Built for Indian engineer-to-order and make-to-order shops — machine builders, special-purpose machinery, capital equipment and custom assemblies. Revision-controlled multi-level BOM, project costing, procurement-to-project, job-work with ITC-04 and GST e-invoicing, in one cloud platform.
Why engineering manufacturers outgrow Tally and spreadsheets
Engineer-to-order and make-to-order manufacturing is a different game from mass production. Every order can have a different design, a different bill of materials and a different cost. Accounting tools like Tally can invoice the job, but they can’t hold a revision-controlled BOM, cost a project before you quote it, or tie purchasing to a specific job — and that is exactly where engineering shops lose money:
Revision-controlled BOM
Designs change by revision. A single-level parts list in Excel can’t hold sub-assemblies, alternates or the change history.
OEMup: versioned multi-level BOM with engineering changes. See the BOM model →Project & job costing
Without true cost per project — material, operations, outsourcing — you quote blind and discover margin only after delivery.
OEMup: roll-up costing across BOM and routing before you quote. Cost-per-unit calculator →Procurement to project
Long-lead bought-outs and fabricated parts must be planned against each project, not a single stock pool.
OEMup: MRP and purchasing tied to work orders and projects. How MRP works →Outsourced job-work
Machining, plating, heat-treat and fabrication go outside. Tracking that for ITC-04 by hand fails GST audits.
OEMup: Rule-55 challans, e-way bills, ITC-04 reconciliation. Job-work software →One engineering ERP, enquiry to dispatch
OEMup covers the full engineer-to-order workflow — one product, India-first GST defaults, no per-machine installs:
- Multi-level, revision-controlled BOM
- Engineering change & drawing revisions
- Project / job costing against budget
- Quotation → SO → Work Order → Dispatch
- Procurement & MRP tied to projects
- Multi-operation routing with WIP
- Machining / plating / heat-treat job-work + ITC-04
- Material & batch traceability
- GST: e-invoice, e-way bill, GSTR-1/3B/9
- HRMS, attendance & shop-floor payroll
- Multi-warehouse & sub-assembly stock
- Cloud access on mobile, desk and shop floor

Engineering ERP software — FAQ
What is engineering ERP software?
Engineering ERP software is an ERP built for manufacturers who design and build to order rather than mass-produce a fixed catalogue. It links the engineering BOM and drawing revisions to procurement, production, project costing and GST accounting, so a one-off or low-volume engineered product can be quoted, built and invoiced accurately.
How is engineering ERP different from standard manufacturing ERP?
Standard manufacturing ERP assumes repeat production of stable products. Engineering ERP adds revision-controlled multi-level BOMs, project costing against a budget, engineering-change handling, and procurement tied to specific projects — because in engineer-to-order work the product, BOM and cost differ on almost every order.
Does OEMup handle design revisions and engineering changes?
Yes — BOMs are versioned trees, so a revision creates a new BOM version while in-progress work orders keep their original. Changing a child component propagates to every parent assembly, and the correct revision flows to the floor and into costing.
Is OEMup engineering ERP suitable for small Indian manufacturers?
Yes — it is purpose-built for Indian SME manufacturers under 200 people, with India-first GST defaults, job-work and ITC-04 built in, and setup in about a day. Starter pricing begins at a launch price of ₹199 per user per month (minimum 2 users).
