ERP software for small manufacturers — raw stock to GST invoice.

Alstar ERP gives job shops, fabricators and OEM suppliers one screen for quotations, orders, live stock and GST billing — without the consultant-heavy implementations big-brand ERPs are known for.

The problem

Running production on Excel, registers and memory.

✕ Stock drift

Registers disagree with the godown

Material comes in, jobs consume it, finished goods ship — and the stock register catches up whenever someone finds time. Purchase decisions run on stale numbers.

✕ Retyped documents

Quote, challan, invoice — thrice

The same line items get typed into a Word quotation, then a challan, then the GST invoice. Three chances to get a rate or HSN code wrong.

✕ Committed vs free

Sold stock still looks available

An order is confirmed but nothing reserves the material, so the next enquiry gets promised the same stock.

✕ Month-end scramble

GST data assembled by hand

Invoices live in three formats and two notebooks; every filing period starts with reconstruction work for your accountant.

Add up what this actually costs: an hour of daily reconciliation, a purchase made against phantom stock, one invoice with the wrong HSN in an audit year. Small factories rarely lose money in one big leak — they lose it in twenty small ones that a single system would have closed.

How it works

What Alstar ERP does for a manufacturing floor.

✓ Quotations

Quote once, invoice from it

Quotations convert to invoices in one click — line items, rates and taxes carry over. Nothing is retyped, so nothing drifts.

✓ Stock

Stock deducts as you bill

Every invoice moves stock automatically. What is in hand and what has shipped is one live view, not a register to reconcile.

✓ GST billing

Invoices your buyers accept

GST-ready invoices with HSN codes, tax breakup and your logo — built for B2B buyers and the audits they pass through.

✓ Receivables

Know who owes what

Party-wise outstanding at a glance, so follow-ups happen before dues age into bad debt.

Who it's for

Built for factories of 5 to 50 people.

Alstar ERP fits job-work machine shops, sheet-metal and fabrication units, packaging converters, food processors, panel builders, and OEM component suppliers — factories where the owner still signs every invoice but the registers stopped keeping up long ago. If a big-brand ERP quotation ever made your eyes water, this is deliberately the opposite: live in days, priced for SMEs, no army of implementation consultants. Beyond billing and stock, the same login carries quotations, purchase entries, party ledgers and a dashboard the owner can check from a phone — one system replacing the register shelf, priced like software rather than a project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do we need an IT person to run it?

No. Alstar ERP is cloud software that runs in the browser — nothing to install, nothing to back up, no server in the office. If your team can use WhatsApp, they can use this.

We do job work and partial deliveries — will it fit?

Bring your actual flow to the demo. Quotations, invoices and stock movements are flexible enough for most job-work patterns, and showing it on your own examples beats any feature list.

Does stock really update by itself?

Yes — invoicing deducts stock automatically, purchases add it. The quantity you see is live, not last week’s register total.

Will my CA get what they need for filing?

Yes. Your invoice and party data exports cleanly, so your CA’s existing GST filing workflow — Tally or otherwise — continues untouched.

How long does it take to go live?

Days, not months. Import your items and parties, set your invoice format, and start billing. There is no implementation project and no consultant fees.

What does it cost?

A simple subscription scoped to your team — a 15-minute demo call is enough to price it. No per-machine licences.
