01 — Local economy
Spices first brought traders to Kochi, and the port still anchors its economy: the Vallarpadam container terminal, Cochin Shipyard and an oil refinery all sit within the city region. Seafood exporters, spice processors and the Spices Board's headquarters keep agri-exports central, while Infopark and the Cochin SEZ at Kakkanad house IT and export units. Tourism and wholesale trade in Ernakulam's markets complete the picture.
Also known as Cochin and Ernakulam.

Yes. Invoices raised in Kerala carry GST state code 32, 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.
Yes. Current language models handle Malayalam, English and Hindi 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.
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For logistics & ports that is often job & shipment costing and warehouse management (bins, put-away, picking). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
