Map Your Workflow
Process mapping. Dhumi's team reviews your enquiry-to-dispatch process: how quotes are made, how job cards are managed, how quality checks get approved, and where delays happen.
Best ERP & CRM Software
Built for Industrial Component Manufacturers
Industrial component manufacturers are being asked to do more with the same team. Dhumi builds a connected ERP for auto components manufacturing that ties enquiry, production, quality, and dispatch into one system, so growth stops meaning more chaos.

Why Spreadsheets Stop Working As Your Order Book Grows
Here’s the honest problem: 88% of Indian SMEs still run day-to-day work on Excel, Tally, and WhatsApp. For industrial component manufacturers, that gap gets expensive fast. OEM orders to component makers grew 16.3% last year alone.
The businesses that can’t scale their back office alongside their order book start losing ground to the ones who can.
If any of this sounds familiar, you already know the cost of staying as you are:
What Dhumi's ERP For Auto Components Manufacturing Software Actually Does?
For industrial component manufacturers, ERP and CRM aren’t two separate purchases.
They show a complete picture of the business. This spans from the first OEM inquiry to the invoice after shipping. ACMA represents over 830 organised-sector component manufacturers.
They see closer ties with OEMs and better technology as the industry’s next big focus. The numbers support this claim: the sector’s turnover has more than doubled in five years.
A well-built automotive ERP system for this business usually gives you:
Enquiry and Quote List
Logs, quotes, and tracks every OEM enquiry to a decision, instead of scattering it across inboxes and chats
Job Card and Production Tracking
Real-time status from raw material to finished part, visible to sales and the shop floor at the same time.
Quality and Compliance Paperwork
PPAP-style records and inspection data captured as work happens, not pulled together before an audit.
Stock Accuracy
One count, updated as material moves, not three spreadsheets that disagree.
GST Invoicing
Generated straight from the dispatch record, with no manual re-entry.
Dashboards
One view of open orders, pending quality checks, and dispatch dates for owners and production heads.
How Does A Custom ERP For Auto & Industrial Components Manufacturers Actually Get Built Without Taking Months?
Most software vendors sell you a license and move on to the next customer. Dhumi works differently.
Your system is built around your unit’s actual operations.
This creates a monthly partnership based on ongoing effort. It’s not just a one-time project that goes stale when your process changes.
Start by mapping your real workflow. Look at how an inquiry turns into a job card. Check how quality gets signed off.
Do this before designing any screens.
It’s also why the build itself moves fast: a working system in 2-3 weeks, not the 6-to-12-month rollouts common with older ERP vendors in this space.
| What You Get | Detail |
|---|---|
| Speed | 2-3 weeks to a working system your team is actually using |
| Right-sized plans | 3 clearly scoped plans, so you're not paying for more than you need |
| Ongoing partnership | A monthly partnership that grows as your OEM programs change |
So what does this mean for a factory owner looking at options? It means the first working screens reflect your job-card format and your dispatch process from day one, not a generic manufacturing template you have to adapt to.
How Does Dhumi's Automotive ERP System Rollout Work?
Build and Launch The Working MVP
System design. Your CRM list, production tracking, and quality tools get set up around your specific process, not a generic template.
Connect Finance And Quality
Data move-in. Existing customer records, open orders, and stock get moved in from Excel, Tally, or wherever they live now, and cleaned up along the way.
System Goes Live
Your system goes live. Your team starts using the real system for real orders, not a demo.
Keeps Improving & Changes
Monthly changes. The system evolves with new OEM programs, quality rules, or reporting needs each month in our partnership.
Every step is built to be checkable. The factory can see the system running in weeks 2 to 3, not just read about it in a project plan.
Why Manufacturers Pick Dhumi Over An Off-The-Shelf ERP System
Selecting software is about operational alignment, not just features. Unlike rigid, off-the-shelf systems, Dhumi provides flexibility and aligns with your actual processes to boost shop floor efficiency and support long-term growth.
Built Around Your Workflow
Not a generic manufacturing template. The mapping-first process means the first version already looks like your workflow.
One Connected Platform
Instead of separate tools for CRM, inventory, invoicing, and dashboards that never talk to each other.
AI Embedded in The Operational Layer
Inventory alerts, approval routing, and delay flags built into the workflow, not sold as a bolt-on module.
A Partnership That Grows With You
No license-and-disappear model. The subscription continues because the factory keeps getting value, not because of a lock-in contract.
India-Relevant, Enterprise-Grade Thinking Built for MSME Scale
With India's 8.7 crore-plus registered MSMEs now formalising operations, a system built for that scale, not a scaled-down enterprise license, is the more honest fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About
ERP & CRM For Component Manufacturers
Explore our most frequently asked questions to get started.
No. For most industrial component manufacturers, one combined system is better than using two separate tools. Enquiries, quotes, production, and quality all touch the same order, so tracking them in one place avoids the mismatches that happen when a CRM and ERP live apart.
Tally is good for accounting, but it doesn't track job cards, manage quality paperwork, or handle OEM inquiries. 88% of Indian SMEs still lean on Tally, Excel, and WhatsApp together for day-to-day work, a workaround that gets harder to keep up as OEM order volume grows.
With Dhumi, a working system is typically live in 2-3 weeks, covering the core workflow your team needs on day one. You'll work on every other module through the monthly partnership. This way, you won't have to wait long to use anything.
Cost depends on your plants, users, and the modules you need. Dhumi doesn't offer a fixed number. Instead, it maps your operation first. Then, it provides a clear plan for you to review.
Yes. Quality checks and inspection data are recorded during work. This way, PPAP-style paperwork is ready for OEM audits. It's better than compiling it manually later.
Choose CRM software for the automotive industry designed for B2B enquiry-to-order workflows, quote tracking, and technical reviews across multiple account decision-makers. Dealership CRMs built for consumer sales, test drives, and service reminders will not suit component manufacturers handling OEM inquiries and multi-step approvals.
Yes. Dhumi's AI-driven workflow tools use WhatsApp for updates and follow-ups. This cuts down on the manual chasing that often happens over chat.
