Configured for your process

Two examples of how FOS maps to an industry's real workflow.

01 Trailer & Body

No two orders alike — all under control.

Configure-to-order, build to dispatch.

Each order configures its own BOM and route. Track the build station by station and dispatch with complete documentation and serial history.

02 Steel & Fabrication

From heat number to weighbridge.

Traceability that never breaks.

Every plate carries its heat number from receipt through nesting to the finished part. Dispatch ties to the weighbridge and to costing automatically.

Frequently asked questions.

Top questions about manufacturing ERP by industry — answered for manufacturers in India.

Which manufacturing industries does FOS serve?

FOS serves discrete and machine manufacturing: trailer and body building, steel fabrication, auto components, machine tools, sheet metal, and capital goods. Each sector gets pre-configured BOM patterns, quality checks, and planning defaults.

Are industry templates included in FOS?

Yes. Industry templates accelerate go-live with typical routings, inspection stages, units of measure, and document formats common to your sector. Templates are starting points — implementation tailors them to your plant’s specifics.

Can FOS handle engineer-to-order and make-to-order?

FOS supports ETO, MTO, and batch manufacturing common across these industries. Configurable BOMs, revision control, and project-style order tracking link sales specifications to shop-floor execution and costing.

Does FOS work for heavy fabrication and welding shops?

Yes. Steel, trailer, and capital goods plants use FOS for nested BOMs, subcontract welding, plate and section inventory, and stage-wise quality. Weight and dimension attributes support fabrication-specific planning and dispatch.

Is FOS used in automotive component manufacturing?

Auto component suppliers use FOS for PPAP-related quality, batch traceability, rejection tracking, and tight delivery schedules. Integration of planning, production, and quality helps meet OEM audit and on-time delivery requirements.

How does FOS help sheet metal and machine tool shops?

Sheet metal and machine tool plants benefit from operation-level routing, nesting-aware material issues, in-process inspection, and subcontract for heat treatment or finishing. Live WIP visibility reduces bottlenecks at critical work centres.

Can one FOS instance cover multiple industries in a group?

Yes. Multi-company setups can run different industry templates per plant while consolidating group reporting. Each site keeps sector-specific workflows without separate ERP instances.

What if my industry is not listed?

If you run discrete or batch manufacturing with BOMs, routings, and shop-floor execution, FOS likely fits. Contact the team to review your product mix — many customers in adjacent sectors use the same core platform.

Do industry pages show real customer examples?

Industry pages describe typical workflows, pain points, and module combinations for each sector. Demos can use scenarios matched to your products — trailers, fabrications, castings, machined parts, or assemblies.

How do I find the right FOS setup for my industry?

Start with your industry page, then book a demo. Implementation consultants with sector experience map your BOM depth, quality regime, and subcontract patterns to the right module sequence and template configuration.
