Factory Operating System · Ahmedabad, India
Our story
Built on shop floors, not slide decks
Factory Operating System ERP (FOS) was founded in 2018 in Ahmedabad to solve a problem every plant manager knows: generic ERP was never designed for travellers, quality gates, subcontract flows, or Indian GST realities.
We help discrete manufacturers digitize from enquiry to dispatch without ripping out how they actually run production.
Our mission
One source of truth for the whole plant
FOS connects CRM, MRP, shop-floor execution, quality, stores, purchase, subcontracting, and accounts — so planners, operators, and finance always see the same numbers.
What we believe
Principles we ship by
Every implementation decision — from BOM depth to GST posting — follows these rules.
-
01
Factory-first workflows
Software should mirror BOMs, routings, batches, and quality gates — not retail or services ERP adapted for plants.
-
02
Speed to value
Plants cannot wait 18 months. Go-live in weeks, with hypercare until teams run confidently on their own.
-
03
Compliance from operations
GST, e-Invoice, e-Way Bill, and audit trails should post from dispatch and billing — not month-end spreadsheets.
Trust & compliance
Enterprise-grade from day one
FOS maintains independent assurance, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, and immutable audit logs on enterprise deployments. Read our security overview →

How many manufacturing plants use FOS ERP?
More than 140 manufacturing plants run on FOS ERP across India and the GCC. Customers span trailer and body building, steel fabrication, auto components, machine tools, sheet metal, and capital goods — sectors where BOMs, routings, and quality gates matter daily.

Which manufacturing industries does FOS serve?
FOS serves discrete and machine manufacturing: trailer and body building, steel fabrication, auto components, machine tools, sheet metal, and capital goods. Industry templates pre-configure BOMs, quality gates, subcontract flows, and workflows common to each sector.
What modules are included in the FOS platform?
FOS includes nine connected modules: CRM and sales, planning and MRP, production, subcontracting, quality, inventory, purchase, and accounts. Master data and transactions share one database from sales enquiry through dispatch, invoicing, and GST posting without re-entry.
