Most Indian businesses run on Tally, a stack of Excel sheets, and a few WhatsApp groups that never quite reconcile. Digiwah implements Zoho ERP end-to-end — books, GST & e-invoicing, inventory, the shop floor, and payroll — on a single source of truth.
Gate to dispatch, and the office above it. Here's what Zoho ERP takes over in a typical Indian plant — and what it replaces.
Every module here is something we configure end-to-end and map to your existing process then extend with custom apps where Zoho's defaults stop short.
Chart of accounts, banking, GST & TDS, e-invoicing (IRN), e-way bills, revenue recognition and fixed-asset tracking India's compliance layer, built in.
We extend with Plant-wise cost centres · Approval workflows · Statutory report packs
Procure-to-pay, multi-warehouse stock, batch & serial tracking, transfers and reorder rules one stock figure everyone can trust.
We extend with Vendor portals · Gate-entry & GRN apps · Bin-level operator UIs
BOMs, work orders, multi-stage routings, capacity planning and shop-floor reporting real-time WIP instead of clipboard guesses.
We extend with Operator tablets · WIP boards · QC checklists tied to FG release
Quote-to-cash, subscription billing and omni-channel commerce B2B and B2C in one ledger, billed and recognised correctly.
We extend with WhatsApp order capture · CRM sync · Dispatch SLA dashboards
Full HRMS, attendance and Indian-compliant payroll (PF, ESI, PT, IT) across distributed teams and multiple plants, with lifecycle workflows.
We extend with Biometric integrations · Shop-floor attendance · Statutory calendars
Procurement controls, approval matrices and real-time dashboards so the cash position, margin and what's stuck is one click, not three days.
We extend with Budget vs actual alerts · Cost-centre drilldowns · Exception notifications
Zoho ERP's finance core covers the full India stack — double-entry ledger, banking, receivables and payables, GST, TDS and statutory reporting. We configure it to your chart of accounts, your GSTINs and your approval matrix, so the books close from live operations, not from month-end catch-up.
Unlimited locations, zones and bins. Batch and serial tracking with FEFO. Transfers, cycle counts and adjustments that need approval before they touch the books. We migrate your item master with HSN validation, set your reorder levels and lay out your warehouses exactly as the floor is organised.
Multi-level BOMs with scrap and by-products. Work centres with capacity and timings. Manufacturing orders raised from sales orders or MRP, job cards on the floor, batch-wise consumption and output, and costing against standard. We map your routing, your work centres and your shop-floor roles — then extend with Creator apps where the floor still runs on paper.
MRP reads every sales order due in the window, explodes each item through its BOM, nets the requirement against on-hand and on-order stock, and hands you the list — purchase orders by vendor, manufacturing orders by line, transfers between units. Your planning rules (safety stock, lead times, MOQ, preferred vendor) are built in, and where the standard logic stops, we extend it with a custom planning widget. From there, procurement runs end-to-end: indent → approval → RFQ → PO → vendor portal → GRN → bill.
Native India payroll inside the ERP. Attendance and leave flow in from Zoho People, the pay run applies LOP, overtime, arrears and loans, and the month closes with payslips, a bank file and the payroll journal posted straight into your books.
We configureSalary structures & CTC templates · statutory rules per state and unit · pay schedule · People sync and biometric devices · payslip and bank-file templates · journal mapping.
Every business has processes that no standard ERP ships with — a label-approval round, a gate register, a sample-tracking log, a planning rule only your team uses. Zoho ERP is made to absorb them. Custom fields, modules, Blueprints, workflows and scripts cover most of it inside the ERP; widgets and Creator apps cover the rest, on the floor and at the gate. If a feature isn't there natively, we build it — and it lives in the same login, the same data, the same reports.
Build any register or process as its own module — with fields, tables, approvals, validation rules and a Blueprint that moves records stage by stage with checklists, SLAs and escalations.
e.g. label approval · R&D samples · compliance certificatesTrigger actions on create, edit or status change — alerts, field updates, webhooks, Deluge functions. Scheduled scripts run the hourly, daily and weekly jobs nobody should do by hand.
e.g. auto-create transfer orders when an MO is confirmedCustom screens embedded in ERP records or as full-page tabs in the left navigation. They read and write live ERP data with the user's own permissions — no separate login, no export.
e.g. purchase planner · MO stock checker · pendency dashboardsMobile forms with photos, signatures and barcode scans for the processes that happen away from a desk — and every entry writes back to the ERP against the right PO, invoice or batch.
e.g. gate entry · weighbridge · visitor & courier register · batch recordsREST API, OAuth and webhooks connect the ERP to what you already run — e-commerce, marketplaces, logistics, biometric devices, payment gateways and legacy systems.
e.g. Shopify orders in · Delhivery tracking back · biometric attendanceCustom reports with your filters and groupings, scheduled to the right inbox. Zoho Analytics for board-level BI. Role-based notifications with escalation to management on exceptions.
e.g. PO pendency to buyers every morning · rejections to QA headNative first, custom where it earns its place. Every process is mapped and signed off before build, so what we customise is your process — documented, role-based and reportable — not a workaround.

WhatsApp + CreatorAn Indian manufacturer is going live with end-to-end Zoho ERP + Creator automation across three plants. Targets: 40% cut in order-to-dispatch time, real-time OEE on the shop floor, and a 5-day month-end close. Full case study publishing soon.
Digiwah is a Zoho Authorized Partner based in Mohali, and among the first implementors in India to take Zoho ERP into production after its launch. We don't configure from a screenshot. We visit your site, map how work actually moves, build to that, and train your team with live sessions and recorded videos they can replay any time.

Anyone can sell you Zoho licences. A Zoho ERP implementation partner is responsible for the part that decides whether the system survives contact with your shop floor: mapping how you actually work, configuring the modules to match, moving your data across without losing balances, and staying on the ground after go-live.
You get logins, an invoice and a blank system. Configuration, data migration, training and everything Zoho does not do out of the box are yours to work out.
We map your processes first, configure Zoho ERP to match, migrate you off Tally or your existing system, train your team, and build on Zoho Creator wherever off-the-shelf ERP stops short — then stay on through go-live and after.
