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.

Foundry ERP Software for Castings in India

Built for

Grey & SG iron foundries
Steel foundries
Aluminium & non-ferrous
Machined castings

The everyday struggle

Sound familiar?

These are the problems we hear most from foundry business owners.

Melting loss and cost per heat are guessesScrap, pig iron and ferro-alloys added to each heat are written in registers, so real melting loss and cost stay unknown.
Rejections are found after the cost is spentBlowholes, shrinkage and cracks are noted on paper and rarely analysed by pattern, heat or cause.
Heat-wise traceability takes daysWhen a customer asks about a casting, matching it to its heat, chemistry and inspection report means searching files.
Pattern status is unclearNobody can quickly see which patterns are in use, under repair or lying at a customer site.
Job-work goes out of sightCastings sent outside for fettling, machining or heat treatment are hard to reconcile by weight and count.

How Pinakexa solves it

One system. Total clarity.

Replace registers, calls and spreadsheets with one live view of your business.

Heat-wise melting recordsCharge mix, tap weight, chemistry and melting loss recorded for every heat, from the furnace area.
Rejection analysis by causeRejections logged by defect, pattern and heat, so you see trends before they eat your margin.
Casting-to-heat traceabilityEvery casting linked to its heat number, spectro result and inspection report.
Pattern registerLocation, condition, owner and usage count of every pattern, with repair history.
Job-work by weight and countOutward and inward challans for fettling, machining and heat treatment, reconciled automatically.

Foundry ERP software: from charge mix to dispatch

Foundry ERP software records each heat, mould, casting, rejection and dispatch in one system, with traceability from casting back to heat number. Most foundries still keep charge mix, melting and rejection data in registers, which makes true cost per casting hard to know. Pinakexa is an industry-ready cloud ERP that we configure for grey iron, SG iron, steel and non-ferrous foundries.

Foundry margins depend on melting loss, yield and rejections. If those numbers come late, the cost is already spent. This guide explains what a foundry ERP should do, how Pinakexa sets it up and what to check before you choose one.

Key features of foundry ERP software

These are the areas we configure for foundries during setup.

Heat records: charge mix, tap weight, timings and melting loss for every heat.
Chemistry results: spectro results recorded against the heat.
Moulding and pouring: boxes poured and castings made per heat and pattern.
Rejection analysis: defects logged by cause, pattern and heat.
Pattern register: location, condition, owner and usage of every pattern.
Job-work: fettling, machining and heat treatment challans by weight and count.
Cost per casting: costing from charge mix, yield and job-work charges.

Who it is for

Grey and SG iron foundries.
Steel and alloy steel foundries.
Aluminium and non-ferrous foundries.
Foundries that supply machined castings to OEMs.

Benefits for foundry owners

Know melting loss and cost per heat, not just per month.
Reduce rejections by seeing which pattern and cause repeat.
Answer customer traceability questions in minutes.
Keep job-work weight and count reconciled.
Quote new castings with confidence, based on real yield and cost data.

How Pinakexa sets it up

We study your melting, moulding and finishing flow, configure items, patterns, heat sheets and defect codes, import masters from Excel, train furnace and quality staff and go live with heat records first. Book a free demo to see how it would fit your business.

How to choose foundry ERP software

Does it record heats with charge mix and chemistry?
Can every casting be linked to its heat number?
Does it analyse rejections by defect, pattern and heat?
Can it handle weight-based job-work and billing?
Foundries that supply machining shops can also see our engineering ERP.

What a heat-wise record looks like

The heat number is the backbone of foundry ERP software. In Pinakexa, each heat record can hold the details your foundry already writes on paper, in one place and linked to the castings it produced:

Furnace, date, shift and melter.
Charge mix of scrap, pig iron, returns and ferro-alloys, with weights.
Tap weight, pouring time and melting loss.
Spectro results and any corrections made.
Boxes poured, castings made and castings rejected, by pattern.

FAQ

Foundry software: common questions

Yes. Heat numbers, chemistry results and inspection records can be linked to castings, so you can answer customer and audit queries quickly. We configure the exact traceability your customers ask for.

Yes. Charge mix, tap weight and timings can be entered from a phone or tablet browser near the furnace. No computer is needed on the shop floor.

Costing based on charge mix, melting loss, yield and job-work charges can be set up for your foundry during configuration.

Yes. Customer-supplied material, job-work rates and weight-based billing can be configured for job-work foundries.

Yes. Poured weight and good casting weight can be compared per pattern, so you can see which patterns waste the most metal.

Customer returns can be logged against the original dispatch and heat, with the defect reason, so they feed into your rejection analysis.

Yes. Billing by kg or by piece can be configured per customer and item.

Furnace lining changes and maintenance records can be set up as part of your plant records during configuration.

Yes. Each furnace can be set up separately, with its own heats, melting records and reports, plus a combined view for the owner.

Yes. Runners, risers and rejected castings can be returned to stock as foundry returns and used in the next charge mix, so material balance stays accurate.
