Manufacturing ERP Software Built for the Shop Floor, Not the Back Office.
Dharte AI is an AI-powered manufacturing ERP that connects production, quality, inventory, procurement, maintenance, workforce and sales in a single system — so every department works from the same live data, at one plant or a hundred.
What is a manufacturing ERP?
A manufacturing ERP is a single system that plans, records and connects the operational processes of a factory — what you are making, what materials it consumes, who is running it, what quality it met, and what it cost in time and capacity. Instead of each department keeping its own spreadsheet or point tool, every transaction is entered once and becomes visible to everyone who depends on it.
Most ERP platforms began life as accounting systems and had manufacturing added later, which is why shop floor teams so often end up maintaining parallel records. Dharte AI is built the other way round: the production, quality and material workflows are the core of the system, and the reporting layer is assembled from them automatically.
What a manufacturing ERP system should manage
Dharte AI ships with more than twenty modules. These are the ones most manufacturers start with, and each one shares its data with the others by design rather than through an integration project.
Production planning and shop floor execution
Work orders, route cards, operator assignment, plan versus actual and per-shift throughput.
Quality planning and control
A full five-phase APQP workflow through to PPAP submission, with PFMEA, MSA, SPC and in-process inspection.
Inventory and material management
Raw material, work in progress and finished goods, with batch and lot traceability from GRN to consumption.
Procurement and vendor management
Requisition to purchase order, automated RFQs, side-by-side vendor comparison and approval chains.
Maintenance management
Machine health, preventive schedules, breakdown logging with MTTR, and spare parts linked to store inventory.
Workforce management
Attendance, shift rosters, leave, operator skill matrix and training records tied to work instructions.
Sales orders and dispatch
Customer schedules linked to production, dispatch planning, and promised-versus-actual delivery tracking.
AI intelligence
Meeting notes converted into owned action items, technical documents rewritten in plain language, and querying across modules.
Why disconnected systems cost more than they save
A quality management system, a production tracker, a maintenance log and a procurement sheet will each work. The cost appears in the gaps between them: four logins, four data models, and four reports that disagree about the same number. Because Dharte AI records a rejection, a shortage or a breakdown once, the downstream effect on the plan, the purchase order and the audit pack follows automatically.
One ERP across every manufacturing site
Multi-plant manufacturers carry the same problem again at group level: each site reports slightly differently, and leadership reconciles a picture that is already out of date. Dharte AI standardises workflows across sites, shows group inventory as one number so you can transfer before you order, and benchmarks plants against each other on rejection rate, adherence to plan and on-time delivery. There is no limit on the number of sites.
How this connects to the rest of the platform
Every Dharte AI module shares the same records, so the modules below act on the data this one produces — and vice versa.
Production Management
Work orders, route cards, plan versus actual and per-shift throughput on live data.

Manufacturing ERP software is a single system that manages a factory's operational processes — production planning, shop floor execution, quality, inventory, procurement, maintenance and workforce — so that data entered in one process is immediately available to every other. Dharte AI provides these as connected modules rather than separate tools that need integrating.
Traditional ERP platforms were designed around finance and accounting, with manufacturing capability layered on afterwards, and they rarely include quality planning such as APQP or PPAP. Dharte AI starts from the manufacturing process itself: quality planning, production, materials and maintenance are core modules, and most customers go live on their first module within four weeks rather than after a multi-year implementation.
No. Dharte AI is used by manufacturers of every size, from a single plant moving off spreadsheets to a group running dozens of sites. You start with the modules you need and add more as you grow.
Yes. Dharte AI provides open APIs so it can connect to the systems you already run. Many manufacturers keep their existing ERP for finance and use Dharte AI for the operational processes the shop floor actually touches.
Dharte AI covers operational and commercial documents such as purchase orders, sales orders, invoices and delivery challans generated from live transaction data. It is not a general ledger or financial accounting package — manufacturers typically keep a dedicated finance system and connect it to Dharte AI through the open APIs.
Most Dharte AI customers go live on their first module within four weeks. Week one maps your processes and configures sites, departments and roles; weeks two and three configure workflows and load master data; week four trains the team and goes live. Further modules are then rolled out in priority order.
