01 — Local economy

Business in Bhilai

Rails for Indian Railways have long rolled out of the Bhilai Steel Plant, and the Soviet-assisted plant remains the town's economic core. Around it work maintenance and labour contractors, fabrication shops, foundries and rolling mills at Kumhari, cement works at Jamul and a power plant jointly run by NTPC and SAIL, while engineering colleges, IIT Bhilai and coaching institutes make education a second pillar alongside neighbouring Durg.

Where software helps: Contractors supplying manpower, maintenance and fabrication to the steel plant must handle work-order-wise billing, daily labour attendance, statutory wage and PF compliance, and material gate passes for each job.

ERP and AI for steel, engineering and construction businesses in Bhilai

What we would build first for the industries Bhilai is known for.

Steel & metals

ERP
Stock by grade, size, thickness and warehouse; weight-based pricing with cutting and loading charges; part-load dispatch; and credit limits checked before an order is confirmed. This is the problem our own SteelERP product was built to solve.
AI agent
A quoting agent that reads enquiries from WhatsApp or email (“20 tonnes TMT 12 mm, delivery Thursday”), checks free stock and the day's rate, and drafts the quotation for a salesperson to send.
Software for steel & metals

Engineering & machinery

ERP
Make-to-order and engineer-to-order projects tracked from enquiry to commissioning, with multi-level bills of materials, drawing revisions, subcontracted machining and spare-parts sales in one system.
AI agent
A spares assistant that identifies parts from a photo or serial number, checks stock and price, and answers dealer and customer queries on WhatsApp or email.
Software for engineering & machinery

Construction & building materials

ERP
Project-wise material budgets and consumption, site stores and subcontractor billing; and for material makers and traders, dealer networks, schemes and freight-inclusive pricing.

Same time zone, same tax system

Bhilai lies 850 km south-east of our Jaipur studio and shares Indian Standard Time, so calls, demos and support happen in normal working hours. Invoices raised in Chhattisgarh carry GST state code 22, and GST invoicing, e-invoicing and e-way bills are what our own SteelERP handles every day.

It has been an amazing experience — the skills and knowledge he brings is a game changer.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Bhilai: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Bhilai?

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 850 km away, and we work with Bhilai businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Chhattisgarh?

Yes. Invoices raised in Chhattisgarh carry GST state code 22, with CGST and SGST on sales within the state and IGST on sales to other states. A custom ERP generates e-invoices through the IRP and e-way bills, as our own SteelERP does.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in Hindi, Chhattisgarhi and English?

For Hindi and English, yes: current language models handle them well, including mixed-language messages. Support for Chhattisgarhi is more limited, so we test with real customer messages before committing to it, and route anything the agent is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a steel business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For steel & metals that is often grade, size and location-wise stock and weight-based rates & price lists. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
