What Ghaziabad's steel trade looks like
The district administration names Sahibabad Industrial Area and the Meerut Road Industrial Area as the main industrial zones, and the major units it lists show how wide the local demand runs: Tata Steel BSL and Bharat Electronics at Site IV in Sahibabad, Shriram Pistons and Rings on Meerut Road, and older mills and works at Dasna, Modi Nagar and Mohan Nagar.
That mix matters more to a steel merchant than it looks. An electronics plant buys sheet, an auto-parts maker buys strip and bar, a fabricator buys angle and tube, and each of them orders in the unit it works in — kilos, metres or pieces. One yard ends up holding several trades at once, and a bill that suits one customer reads wrongly to another.
Freight is changing around the city. The eastern freight corridor's single-track section runs Ludhiana–Khurja–Dadri, with junctions at Dadri and Khurja to the south-east, and the corridor operator lists finished steel among the goods it carries; Uttar Pradesh holds 1,078 km of the 1,856 km route. Steel that arrives in bulk still leaves in part loads, which is where a trading firm's paperwork is won or lost.
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, strip, bar, angle and tube.
The unit the customer works in
Kilos for sheet, metres for tube, pieces for bar: each size carries its unit weight in the catalogue, so the same stock can be sold in whichever unit the buyer orders.
One order, several lorries
Split an order into delivery sub-orders by unit type, each with its own loading, challan, lorry number and delivery status, so one order can serve several buyers' schedules.
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 — Uttar Pradesh is GST state code 09 — 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 Ghaziabad — FAQs
Can one Ghaziabad order be billed in kilos, metres and pieces?
Yes. Each size in the catalogue carries its unit weight, so lines can be booked in the unit the customer works in and still convert to tonnes on the challan, with the bill using the weight actually loaded.
Can stock be split between a Sahibabad godown and a Meerut Road yard?
Yes. Stock is held per warehouse, transfers between them are recorded, and each user is scoped to the yards they work in, so the two never merge into a single figure.
Does SteelERP work with Tally for a Ghaziabad 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 Ghaziabad 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.
