What Faridabad's steel trade looks like
The same profile lists what the rest of those units do — castings, forging, heat treatment, industrial fasteners, railway equipment, electroplating, plastics and textiles — which is why a merchant's catalogue here runs to sheet, coil, flats, rounds, angles and tube rather than one or two lines. The cluster sits about 25 km from Delhi, and most of it is small: the study puts well over a third of the units in the micro bracket and most of the rest in the small one.
Sheet metal work sets the pace. A pressing shop orders to a thickness and a grade, takes delivery in bundles, and comes back next week for more; the order is small, the delivery is often partial, and the bill is expected to the kilo. Haryana's own industry department counts Faridabad among the state's auto-component clusters, alongside Gurugram, Rohtak and Sonepat.
For a trading firm that means volume of orders rather than volume of tonnage: many customers, small quantities, frequent part deliveries, and a running account per buyer that has to stay readable. The weight on the bill has to be the weight that went on the lorry, not the weight that was booked.
Ordered vs actual weight
Every line carries the weight ordered and the weight actually loaded, and the challan and bill use the loaded figure. Tonnage conversions cover sheet, coil, flats, rounds, angles and tube.
Sheet and coil by weight
Sheet, coil and flats sit in the catalogue with their sizes and unit weights, so a line ordered in pieces or bundles still bills by the tonne on the challan.
One order, several lorries
Split an order into delivery sub-orders so a pressing shop can take part of it today and the rest next week, each delivery carrying its own challan, lorry number and status.
Part shipments from the mill
Raise one purchase order and receive it through several purchase advices as trucks arrive, each booked into the yard that took it in. An optional security truck-in step logs arrival before unloading.
GST, TCS & Tally
CGST/SGST or IGST computed on the order line from the HSN code — Haryana is GST state code 06 — plus TCS reports. Tally pulls printed challans through an authenticated API, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook you provide.
50+ reports
Sales and purchase trends, top products, customers and suppliers, GST summary, supervisor loading workload, and challans raised but not printed the same day. Excel and PDF export.
What to know before you switch
SteelERP runs the operations side — inquiries, orders, dispatch, stock, purchase and reports — while Tally stays your book of accounts. Yard and dispatch staff can use the interface in Hindi or English, and customer, catalogue and size lists come in from your existing spreadsheets.
Each customer carries a credit period in days, which prints as payment terms on inquiry PDFs and order emails. Credit-limit checks and outstanding-balance tracking are Upcoming, as is live GPS tracking of lorries; today you record the lorry number on each delivery sub-order.
Your data sits in its own database on AWS in Mumbai. The optional AI Planning Advisor runs on Anthropic's Claude under your own API key; the business summaries it sends to Anthropic include real customer names and are not anonymised.

Steel ERP in Faridabad — FAQs
Can SteelERP handle many small orders from pressing and fabrication shops?
Yes. Each order can be split into delivery sub-orders with their own challan and lorry number, customers carry their own price lists and credit period in days, and the reports show top customers and products so the small accounts stay visible.
Can a customer order in pieces while the bill goes by weight?
Yes. Every size carries its unit weight in the catalogue, so a line booked in pieces or bundles converts to tonnes on the challan, and the bill uses the weight actually loaded.
Does SteelERP work with Tally for a Faridabad trading firm?
Yes, in two directions. Tally pulls every printed delivery and purchase challan from SteelERP through an authenticated API, in the shape of the printed document, and SteelERP pushes to a webhook endpoint you provide. Your accounts stay in Tally.
How much does steel ERP software cost for a Faridabad stockist?
The Starter plan is Rs 10,000/month for up to 10 users and 1 stockyard. Growth and Enterprise plans, for more users and yards, are priced on a custom quote. GST (18%) and a one-time setup charge apply separately.
