Most schools and small businesses in India already have an ERP. It is spread across four Excel sheets, a Tally file, a fee register and a dozen WhatsApp groups. It works until the accountant leaves, the principal needs a defaulters list on a Saturday, or the auditor asks for stock valuation by godown. AICLEX Technologies builds ERP software that brings those pieces into one system with roles, reports and audit trails.

ERP Software Solutions for Hubli-Dharwad's key industries
Automobile dealers, auto parts & EV
Automobile dealerships need ERP covering vehicle sales, workshop, parts and finance. We implement dealer management systems with enquiry to delivery tracking, vehicle stock with chassis and engine numbers, RTO and insurance documentation, workshop job cards with labour and parts billing, parts inventory with OEM codes and reorder levels, warranty claim tracking and GST accounting with cess handling for vehicles. A dealer with a showroom and two service centres can reconcile parts consumption against job cards. A common gap is not recording free service and warranty jobs properly, which delays OEM reimbursements. After launch, vehicle margins are known per unit, service retention is measured, and parts stock holding falls.
Manufacturing & MSME industrial units
For manufacturing MSMEs, ERP is the difference between knowing the cost of a product and guessing it. We implement ERP with bill of materials, production planning, work orders and job-work management, raw material and finished goods inventory with batch traceability, machine-wise costing, quality inspection at receipt and dispatch, GST e-invoicing and e-way bills, and Tally integration. An auto component supplier can respond to OEM audits with traceability from raw material lot to shipment. Units often skip routing and standard costing during implementation, so the ERP records transactions but never reveals margins. After launch, purchase is planned from actual requirements, inventory holding drops, and quotations are based on true costs.
Textile, garments & apparel
Textile and garment ERP must handle the messy reality of job work, fabric shrinkage, size-colour matrices and piece-rate wages. We implement systems with style and BOM masters, fabric inventory by lot and shade, cutting reports, job-worker challans with GST job-work returns, size-wise finished goods stock, packing lists, export documentation and costing per style. A garment unit sending fabric to outside stitching units can reconcile every metre issued against garments received. Units frequently ignore shade and lot tracking, which later causes rejected shipments. After launch, style-wise margins become visible, buyer queries about order status are answered from the system, and GST job-work compliance stops being a quarterly scramble.
Campus ERP: what it covers for schools and colleges
Admissions: online enquiry forms, follow-up tracking, application forms with document upload, merit lists and confirmation. Fees: structures per class and category, concessions, instalments, online payment through Razorpay or Cashfree with automatic receipts, defaulter reports and WhatsApp reminders before due dates. Attendance: period-wise marking on a phone with an automatic WhatsApp alert to parents when a student is absent. Exams: marks entry, grading schemes and report cards in your format.
Beyond the core, Campus ERP handles timetable, homework and circulars, transport with fee linkage, library, hostel, basic payroll and a parent portal. Everything important reaches parents on WhatsApp through WhatsPilot, because parents in India read WhatsApp and ignore app notifications and emails.
- Admissions and enquiry follow-up with conversion reports
- Fee collection online and at counter, with receipts and defaulter tracking
- Attendance with instant WhatsApp alerts to parents
- Exams, marks, report cards and consolidated results
- Role-based access for management, accounts, teachers and parents
Migrating from Excel, Tally and paper registers
Migration is where ERP projects succeed or fail, so it is its own workstream. We collect every sheet, register and Tally export, map each column to a field, and clean the data with you: duplicate student records, inconsistent item names, missing GST rates. We import into a staging system where your staff verify counts, balances and sample records, then cut over at a natural boundary such as a new session, quarter or financial year.
For the first month both systems run in parallel for critical functions such as fee collection or invoicing, so nothing is lost if a field was mapped wrongly. Tally integration can be two-way: invoices post from the ERP to Tally, and ledger balances are visible in the ERP.
- Data collection and field mapping: 1 to 2 weeks
- Cleaning and staging import with staff verification: 2 to 3 weeks
- Cutover at session or quarter start, parallel run for 4 weeks
