Manufacturing & Production
HMB Product SuiteManufacturing ERP Solution
HMB Forge is a purpose-built Manufacturing ERP for small and mid-size manufacturers who have outgrown spreadsheets but find enterprise ERPs like SAP too complex and costly. It covers production planning, inventory, quality control, maintenance, and finance in one connected platform, built for the shop floor, not just the boardroom.

The Problem We Solve
Most Indian manufacturers with ₹20–200 Cr in revenue are running production on a mix of Tally, Excel, WhatsApp, and tribal knowledge. There is no real-time view of shop floor progress. Inventory is counted by walking the warehouse. Quality rejections are tracked in notebooks. And when a machine breaks down, nobody knew it was coming.
Key Challenges
Production managers discover delays only at shift end, when it is too late to recover the day's output target. There is no live view of WIP, machine status, or operator productivity.
Raw material stock inaccuracies lead to production stoppages. Finished goods counts are always approximate. The true cost of carrying inventory is unknown.
Defects caught at final inspection rather than at source, increasing rework cost, delaying dispatch, and damaging client relationships.
No preventive maintenance schedule, no spare parts tracking, and no early warning when equipment performance degrades, resulting in expensive breakdowns.
Production costs, scrap, rework, and overhead are not captured in real time, meaning the P&L is always a lagging and inaccurate picture of actual performance.
Platform Features
HMB Forge is built specifically for manufacturing & production businesses. Every feature exists because a real customer needed it, not because a product manager thought it sounded good.
MRP-driven production plans, work order management, capacity scheduling, and real-time progress tracking against plan.
Raw material, WIP, and finished goods tracking with barcode support, location management, and automatic reorder triggers.
In-process inspection checkpoints, first article inspection, rejection tracking, root cause logging, and supplier quality scorecards.
Preventive maintenance schedules, work order management, spare parts inventory, and equipment downtime tracking.
Purchase requisitions, vendor comparison, PO management, GRN tracking, and supplier performance dashboards.
Tablet and touchscreen interfaces for operators to log production counts, quality checks, and downtime reasons, directly from the machine.
Job costing, overhead allocation, scrap valuation, and real-time cost of production, integrated with your accounting software.
Sales order tracking, delivery scheduling, dispatch planning, and customer-facing order status visibility.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Every HMB product is built with AI at its core, not as a bolt-on feature but as the intelligence layer that makes the platform proactive rather than reactive.
Analyses machine performance data to predict failure probability, triggering maintenance before breakdown, not after.
AI forecasts customer demand patterns and automatically proposes optimal production schedules that minimise inventory holding cost.
Identifies correlations between defect occurrence and production variables (shift, operator, machine, raw material batch), pointing to root causes automatically.
Analyses historical production data to identify the combination of parameters that consistently delivers the best yield and lowest scrap rate.
