ARUKZ ERP is a cloud ERP for small and mid-size Indian manufacturers: machine shops, auto component makers, fabricators, textile, plastics and food processing units, and anyone else who turns raw material into products. It keeps sales, purchase, stock, production, quality, GST, accounts and payroll in one database, so an order can be followed from the customer's enquiry to the payment without copying it between spreadsheets. It runs in the browser on a desktop, tablet or phone; there is nothing to install. ## One order, from enquiry to payment A day at a factory shows why one system matters. Each step below is a screen in ARUKZ ERP, and each one works on the same record as the step before it. **1. A customer asks for a price** A quotation goes out from **Sales**, with HSN codes and GST already on each line. When the customer accepts, the quotation becomes a sales order. See [Sales](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/sales.md). **2. There is not enough raw material** **Purchase** raises an RFQ and a purchase order, and the material is received into stock as a numbered lot. See [Purchases](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/purchases.md) and [Lots and batch expiry](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/lots-and-expiry.md). **3. The factory makes it** **Manufacturing** turns a bill of materials into a manufacturing order and work orders, and records which lots were used. See [Manufacturing](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/manufacturing.md). **4. Quality checks it** Inspections and rejections are recorded against the order and the lot, and a CAPA report follows a failure. See [Quality](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/quality.md). **5. It ships, is billed and is paid** The delivery leaves the warehouse, a GST tax invoice is posted, and the payment is recorded in the books. See [GST invoicing](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/gst/invoicing.md) and [Accounting](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/accounting.md). **6. People are paid** Employees, leave and salary structures feed a payroll run with PF and ESI worked out. See [Payroll](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/payroll.md). ## Built for Indian factories > [card] [GST from the first invoice](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/gst/invoicing.md) > > Both GSTINs, place of supply, HSN or SAC, and CGST and SGST or IGST chosen from the customer's state. > [card] [Familiar to Tally users](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/day-book-ledger-stock-summary.md) > > Day Book, Ledger and Stock Summary, with F4 to F9, Alt+5, Ctrl+A and Esc. > [card] [Job work on both sides](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/modules/job-work.md) > > Challans, return due dates, the job worker's side and ITC-04 files. > [card] [Lakhs and crores](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/gst/overview.md) > > Amounts read ₹1,25,000.00, the way your accountant writes them. ## How it is delivered ARUKZ ERP is a hosted service run by ARUKZ DIGITAL. Each customer company gets its own workspace and its own address, `erp.arukz.com//admin`, on one shared application where every record belongs to exactly one company (see [Security and data](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/security.md)). A new workspace opens with the core modules (sales, purchases, inventory, invoices, accounting and GST returns); ARUKZ staff switch on any other module you need, such as manufacturing or payroll, at no extra cost. Every plan includes every module; plans differ in users and storage ([Plans and pricing](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/billing/plans.md)). It is built on the open-source [AureusERP](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/developers/overview.md) by Webkul, with ARUKZ's own modules for Indian manufacturing, GST, job work, quality, payroll and the hosted service on top. ## Who it is not for yet > [!NOTE] > > ARUKZ ERP is honest about what it does not do. It does not send invoices to the IRP or generate e-way bills on the portal for you; it prepares the files and records. Module screens and printed documents are in English only. There is no mobile app beyond the browser. If your business needs any item on [Known limits](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/resources/known-limits.md) on day one, ask before you commit. > [card] [Start a free trial](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/get-started/sign-up-and-trial.md) > > 14 days, no card, set up in a minute. > [card] [Compare with Tally](https://docs.erp.arukz.com/resources/compare-tally.md) > > When TallyPrime is still the better choice, and when it is not.
