What does Pinakexa Systems do?

We build web-app software that replaces registers and Excel sheets, starting with manufacturers such as textile and tea units. We also build custom software, mobile apps and websites for growing businesses.

Is Pinakexa right for a small business?

Yes. We focus on small and mid-size businesses. You can start with one or two modules, such as stock and billing, and add more only when you need them.

Do I need to install anything or buy servers?

No. Pinakexa runs in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. We host it securely in the cloud, so there is no server to buy or maintain.

Can it match the way my business works?

Yes. We start by understanding your process. Then we set up your items, parties, fields, approvals and print formats, so your team does not have to change how it works.

Will it handle GST invoices and reports?

Yes. You can create GST-ready tax invoices, delivery challans and the summaries your accountant needs. E-invoice and e-way bill integration depends on your setup. Your CA still files your returns.

How long does it take to go live, and who trains my team?

It depends on the modules you choose and the data we move from Excel. After the discovery call we give you a written plan and timeline. Training for your team is part of every rollout.

How much does it cost?

Price depends on the modules, the number of users and any custom work. After a free demo we send a clear written quote, with no hidden charges.

Is my data safe, and who owns it?

Your data belongs to you. It is sent over secure HTTPS, access is controlled by user roles, and backups are taken regularly. You can ask for a full export of your data at any time.

What is printing and packaging ERP software?

Printing and packaging ERP software manages artwork approvals, job cards, material planning, machine-wise output and job costing in one system. It is built for units that print labels, cartons, pouches and flexible packaging for FMCG brands.

Pinakexa is a cloud ERP configured for printing and packaging converters in India. Artwork approvals are tracked in one place, film, board and ink are planned against jobs, and you see the actual cost of each job soon after it is delivered.

Key features of printing ERP

Artwork and job cards: artwork versions and approval status linked to the job.
Material planning: film, board, ink and adhesive required per job, checked against stock.
Machine-wise output: output and waste by machine, shift and operator.
Job costing: estimated versus actual material, machine time and waste.
Orders and billing: customer-wise pending jobs, dispatch and GST invoices.

Benefits for owners

Approvals no longer lost across email and WhatsApp.
Fewer material shortages on running jobs.
Clear machine output and waste.
Profit known per job and per customer.

Who it is for

Label printers, mono carton makers, flexible packaging and pouch converters, offset and flexo printers, and packaging suppliers to FMCG and pharma brands. Corrugated units can see packaging ERP, and brand owners can see FMCG ERP.

How Pinakexa sets it up

We study your job flow and machines, configure job card stages, material norms and costing, import customers, items and stock from Excel, train planning, production and stores, then go live.

How to choose printing and packaging ERP

Use this checklist when you compare systems for a print or converting unit.

Artwork versions and approvals linked to the job card.
Material norms that calculate film, board and ink per job.
Output and waste captured by machine and shift.
Estimated versus actual job costing.
Repeat jobs created from saved specs.

Printing ERP vs Tally and Excel

Tally records the bill, not the job. It cannot tell you which artwork was approved, which job is short of film or what a job really cost. Pinakexa connects planning, the press floor and billing. Book a free demo to see a job card flow.
