The problem

Excel, registers and WhatsApp. Nothing talks to each other.

PROBLEM / 01

Foreign ERPs are built for MNCs. SAP-style rollouts cost crores, take years, and make your factory bend to them.

PROBLEM / 02

Ready-made software fits only half your work. The rest lives in WhatsApp and registers.

PROBLEM / 03

The owner becomes the system. Orders, payments, stock — all in one person's head. It doesn't scale.

The product

See it for every part of your business

From CRM and sales to production, stock and accounts — one system, many screens, each built around how that team works.

Why Karkhana

Built for how Indian factories really run

Small, medium or large — not a foreign ERP forced to fit India.

GST & Tally, sorted

E-invoice-ready GST bills, HSN codes and challans that reconcile with Tally.

Job-work & contractors

Track material sent out, what returns, and contractor or daily-wage payments.

👍

Easy for any worker

Big buttons, simple steps, dropdowns instead of typing. Anyone picks it up in minutes.

🌐

In your team's language

Worker screens in Hindi, Marathi or your local language — office stays in English.

📱

Runs on the phones you have

Update the floor from the same phone your team already uses. No costly hardware.

🏢

Right-sized for any factory

From a single unit to multi-plant operations — it fits your scale, not a crore budget.

A partner, not a vendor

We don't deliver and disappear.

We stay until your team runs on it — and keep improving it as your factory grows.

1

Built with you

We map how your factory works and build around it — tested with your real team and data.

2

2 months hand-holding

We train your team, sit with them, and add any function they need — until everyone is comfortable.

3

Your team runs on it

Every order, entry and update flows through one system. It becomes how your factory works.

4

It grows with you

New process, product or plant? We extend the same system — year after year, never stale.

The payoff

Less time managing. More time growing.

When the busywork runs itself, you stop firefighting and start scaling.

Save hours every day

No more retyping the same data into Excel, Tally and WhatsApp. Enter it once — it flows everywhere.

Operations run themselves

Follow-ups, alerts and status updates happen automatically, so nothing waits on someone remembering.

Scale without the chaos

Take on more orders, more staff, more plants — the system grows with you instead of breaking.

See everything at a glance

Live numbers on orders, stock, production and dues — decisions backed by facts, not guesswork.

Zoho? Odoo? Here's the difference

READY-MADE VS BUILT-FOR-YOU
Ready-made ERPs (Zoho, Odoo & co.)
Karkhana ERP
Built for every business in every country. You get settings and modules — and you adapt to them.
Built only for manufacturers, and only for you. Your process is the specification.
Subscription fees, usually per user, every month, forever. 30 users over 5 years quietly adds up to many lakhs.
One-time build with unlimited users, plus a small annual support plan. Put your whole factory on it from day one.
Real customisation means hiring an implementation partner, billed by the hour — and every future change is another ticket.
Customisation isn't an add-on here. It is the product. Refinements during the build are part of the deal.
Their modules cover maybe 60–70% of how your factory runs. The rest drifts back to Excel, registers and WhatsApp.
100% of your workflow lives in the system — including the odd, factory-specific steps no template has.
Support means tickets, forums and chatbots. You're one of a million accounts.
A direct line — phone and WhatsApp — to the team that built your system and knows your factory by name.
Generic screens, foreign jargon, accounting-first design. Shop-floor teams quietly stop using it.
Your item names, your stages, your language — simple enough that supervisors actually update it from the floor.

To be fair: ready-made tools are good products — if your business fits their template, use one. Karkhana ERP exists for factories whose process doesn't fit anyone's template. ALL TRADEMARKS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
