01 — Local economy

Business in Visakhapatnam

Deep-water ports at Visakhapatnam and Gangavaram handle iron ore, coal, steel and containers, feeding an industrial base that includes the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam steel plant, an HPCL refinery and NTPC's Simhadri power station. Pharmaceutical makers cluster at Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City in Parawada, and Hindustan Shipyard and the Eastern Naval Command support ship-repair and defence engineering firms.

Also known as Vizag, Vishakhapatnam and Waltair.

Where software helps: Ship-repair contractors and port-service firms here quote, staff and bill each job separately, so they need job-wise costing of labour, spares and subcontracts, plus prompt billing when the scope changes mid-job.

ERP and AI for logistics, steel and pharma businesses in Visakhapatnam

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

Logistics & ports

ERP
Shipment and job costing, warehouse management with bin locations, customs and freight documentation, and billing that captures every accessorial charge.
AI agent
A document agent that reads bills of lading, commercial invoices and packing lists, extracts the data and pre-fills customs and booking forms for review.
Software for logistics & ports

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

Pharma & life sciences

ERP
Batch and expiry tracking from raw material to finished pack, formula management, QC release before dispatch, and audit trails that inspectors and customers can follow.
AI agent
A document agent that drafts batch records, certificates of analysis and customer responses from approved data, with every output reviewed by QA before it is used.

Visakhapatnam lies 1,280 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 Andhra Pradesh carry GST state code 37, 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 Visakhapatnam: common questions

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

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 1,280 km away, and we work with Visakhapatnam businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Andhra Pradesh?

Yes. Invoices raised in Andhra Pradesh carry GST state code 37, 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 Telugu, English and Hindi?

Yes. Current language models handle Telugu, 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.

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

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.
