Steel ERP Software in Surat for Coil, Plate and Section Traders

Surat's steel comes off the mills at Hazira, where AM/NS India rolls hot rolled coils, slits and plates from 0.8 mm to 20 mm beside its own captive port. SteelERP is a cloud ERP for the traders and stockists who buy that steel and sell it on by weight, piece or metre. Plans start at Rs 10,000/month.

What Surat's steel trade looks like

AM/NS India's Hazira works rolls hot rolled coils, slits and plates from 0.8 mm to 20 mm, on hot strip mills the company rates at 8.6 MTPA, and cold rolls coil on a 6-Hi Hitachi mill and a tandem mill rated 2 MTPA. A pickling line and tandem cold mill for automotive steel started up there in April 2026. Buying from a mill on that scale means part loads: several trucks against one order, each with its own weight.

Around the mill, Hazira runs on petrochemicals, fertilisers, heavy engineering, steel, energy and port work. L&T's complex there, about 16 km from the city, builds ultra-heavy equipment for process-plant and nuclear work in carbon steel, stainless steels and nickel and CrMoV alloys along a 1.6 km waterfront. In the city itself the trade is textiles, chemicals, dyeing and printing, diamonds, zari and the engineering shops that keep them running, spread across the GIDC estates at Sachin, Pandesara, Katargam, Khatodara and Ichhapore-Bhatpore-Kawas.

Freight follows the same road. Adani's Hazira port, about 25 km from the city, lists steel and project cargo among what it handles, and NH 6 starts at the port. The inland container depot at Sachin serves Surat and the belt from Vadodara to Vapi, and the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor passes at Kosad/Gothangam. Whether you sell plate to a fabricator at Hazira or sheet to a workshop in Sachin, the paperwork has to match the lorry rather than the order book.

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 coil, sheet, plate, pipe and structurals.

Coil ledger

Each coil is held on its own: its weight, the yard it sits in, its movement history and the order it is allocated to. Semi-coils and slit lots bought in are tracked the same way.

One order, several lorries

Split an order into delivery sub-orders by unit type — plate by kg, pipe by metre, sections by piece — each with its own loading, challan, lorry number and delivery 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 — Gujarat is GST state code 24 — 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 Surat — FAQs

Can SteelERP track HR coils and slit lots bought from Hazira?

Yes. Each coil sits in the coil ledger on its own, with its weight, the yard it is in, its movement history and the order it is allocated to, so a part-used coil is still accounted for. Semi-coils and slit lots bought in as their own items are held the same way.

How does SteelERP bill plate sold by weight to a Hazira fabricator?

Each line carries the ordered weight and the weight actually loaded, and the challan and the bill use the loaded figure. Plate and sheet convert to tonnes from the size's unit weight in the catalogue, and the GST on the line comes from its HSN code.

Does SteelERP work with Tally for a Surat 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 Surat 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.
