01 — Local economy

Business in Jalna

Hybrid seed companies, led by Mahyco, gave Jalna its reputation as a seed-production centre, with cotton, vegetable and grain seed processed and packed here for farmers nationwide. The town is also a large cluster of induction-furnace and rolling mills making TMT bars and billets, and its markets trade sweet lime (mosambi), cotton and pulses from Marathwada.

Where software helps: Steel rolling mills here buy scrap and billets at daily-changing rates and sell TMT bars to dealers on credit, so they need heat-wise yield, power cost per tonne and close watch on dealer outstandings.

ERP and AI for steel, food and distribution businesses in Jalna

What we would build first for the industries Jalna 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

Agriculture & food processing

ERP
Procurement from many small suppliers, grading and lot tracking, shelf life and first-expiry-first-out dispatch, and processing yields from raw produce to packed product.
AI agent
A procurement assistant that collects daily prices and quantities from suppliers over WhatsApp, in their own language, and records them straight into the system.
Software for agriculture & food processing

Jalna lies 790 km south of our Jaipur studio and shares Indian Standard Time, so calls, demos and support happen in normal working hours. Invoices raised in Maharashtra carry GST state code 27, 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 Jalna: common questions

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

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 790 km away, and we work with Jalna businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Maharashtra?

Yes. Invoices raised in Maharashtra carry GST state code 27, 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 Marathi, Hindi and English?

Yes. Current language models handle Marathi, Hindi and English well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it 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.
