01 — Local economy

Business in Sivakasi

Fireworks, safety matches and printing are the three industries the town is known for. Most of India's firecrackers are made in units around Sivakasi, much of the country's matchbox output comes from the same district, and offset presses print calendars, diaries, labels, notebooks and packaging for customers nationwide.

Where software helps: Fireworks makers here produce for most of the year ahead of a short Diwali selling window, so they need advance-order booking, licence-bound stock limits by category, dealer credit and carefully planned dispatches.

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

Manufacturing

ERP
Production orders driven by real demand, bills of materials with revisions, work-in-progress by stage, and costing that includes scrap and rework, so the price you quote reflects what the job actually costs.
AI agent

Software for manufacturing

Chemicals & plastics

ERP
Formula-based production with yield and loss tracking, batch and container-level stock, hazardous-goods documentation, and pricing that follows raw-material costs.
AI agent
An agent that answers customer questions on specifications, safety data sheets and order status, and routes anything technical to a chemist.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Sivakasi: common questions

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

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 1,950 km away, and we work with Sivakasi businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Tamil Nadu?

Yes. Invoices raised in Tamil Nadu carry GST state code 33, 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 Tamil and English?

Yes. Current language models handle Tamil 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 manufacturing business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For manufacturing that is often bill of materials & routing and production planning (MRP). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
