Zoho for Hubballi-Dharwad and Belagavi manufacturers and foundries
By Hari, Flowpeak ·
North Karnataka has a strong base of foundries, machine shops and component suppliers. Many run on separate stock registers and billing software, so costing and delivery tracking suffer.
From enquiry to dispatch
Record RFQs and drawings in Zoho CRM, convert accepted quotes to sales orders, and plan production using Zoho Inventory and Creator. Track material issue against each job so cost per job is visible.
Costing and billing
Capture scrap, rework and machine hours where meaningful. Invoice with GST through Zoho Books and reconcile customer payments. Reports show profit by customer, part and month.
Practical tips
- Start with one product line
- Keep your item master clean
- Track scrap as its own reason code
- Review job cost weekly with the plant head
Frequently asked questions
Does Zoho support batch and heat numbers?
Zoho Inventory supports batch and serial tracking. For metallurgy-specific data we add fields in Creator.
Can I connect weighing scales?
Direct hardware integration depends on the device. We usually capture weights through a simple entry screen or an import.
