Sample data. ## What a shop runs on ZMOS 1. **Stock and material** Receipts, issues, transfers and counts post to an immutable ledger; balances are live per item and warehouse; a correction is a new movement, never an edit. Reorder points flag what is about to run out. 2. **Production and bills of materials** Each manufactured part has a BOM with components, quantity per unit, scrap and revisions. The editor shows every component's cost and the material cost per unit from current item costs. 3. **Work orders, job cards and job cost** Open a job, print its card or barcode, issue material to it, log labour at work centres, close it. Material at real cost plus labour at your rate gives the job's cost the day it closes, per job and per unit. 4. **Quality** Inspections, non-conformance reports and corrective actions (CAPA) with photos and signatures, linked to the items and jobs they concern. 5. **Purchasing, sales and accounting** Purchase orders and vendor bills, quotes, sales orders, deliveries and invoices, with journals, banking, expenses and financial reports in the same workspace. 6. **Your own forms and rules** Custom fields on every form, drag-and-drop layouts, lookup filters, validation rules and workflow rules that fire on status changes, stock postings and low stock. ## Zudo AI drafts, an owner approves Ask about stock, jobs, orders and costs in plain words; Zudo AI drafts the report, chart, form or rule change and waits for an owner to approve it. It fills order lines with current costs, proposes workflow rules, and adds fields to forms. Answers come from your own data, within your role, and nothing leaves the workspace. Each person has 1,000 requests. [Everything Zudo AI can do, and how approval works](https://zudoworks.com/zudo-ai/) ![Zudo AI proposing a chart inside the ZMOS workspace, with Approve and Discard buttons](https://zudoworks.com/Asset/img/zmos/ai-chart-proposal.webp) Zudo AI proposes a chart; an owner approves it before it is added. Sample data. ## How a shop gets started Seven set-up steps, each about a minute, guided inside the workspace. A sample workspace can be loaded so the first day is not spent on data entry. 1. **Create the workspace** Company name, currency and time zone; no card for the trial. 2. **Add items and warehouses** Type them in, or import items, customers and vendors from a file. 3. **Post opening stock** Balances go live the moment the first movement is posted. 4. **Open the first job** A BOM, a work order, a job card; invite the storekeeper and supervisor. ## Plans for every shop floor Pay per bundle of three seats, monthly or annually (annual saves 16 %). Prices in INR, exclusive of tax; USD is shown inside the app. ### Trial ₹0for six months, startups and registered partners - 3 users, 1 GB storage - 10,000 API calls a month - Community support - No card required [Start the free trial](https://app.zudoworks.com/signup) ### Standard ₹2,351per month, billed annually; ₹2,799 monthly - 3 users, 1 GB storage - 50,000 API calls a month - E-mail support, 2 business days - 30-day audit log [Choose Standard](https://app.zudoworks.com/pricing) ### Business ₹5,879per month, billed annually; ₹6,999 monthly - 10 users, 5 GB storage - 250,000 API calls a month - Priority e-mail, next business day - 90-day audit log [Choose Business](https://app.zudoworks.com/pricing) ### Enterprise Customannual contract - Unlimited users, custom limits - Named contact, 4 business hours - 1-year audit log - Storage overage included [Contact sales](https://zudoworks.com/contact/#contact-form) Every plan includes the ERP features, the low-code engine, API access and webhooks.

Before ZMOS, stock lives in spreadsheets or memory, jobs are tracked on paper, and nobody knows what a job really cost until month end. - Built in India by the engineers who implement systems for manufacturers - Founded by Arunkumar V, a former senior supervisor in manufacturing at Brakes India - Public, dated changelog of every release - [A user guide with 54 step-by-step tasks and real screenshots](https://zudoworks.com/guide/), free to read Watch it work ## See ZMOS in 20 minutes Recorded in the product itself, narrated in English, on sample data.

ZMOS tracks stock, bills of materials, work orders, material issue and job costing for small and mid-size manufacturing shops, with purchasing, quality, CRM and accounting in the same workspace. It runs in the browser; nothing is installed. Who is ZMOS for? Owners and the few people who run a 10 to 50 person sheet-metal fabrication, precision machining or general fabrication shop: owner or manager, storekeeper and production supervisor. How does ZMOS calculate job cost? Material issued to a job is costed at the item's current cost, labour hours are costed at the rate you set per work centre, and the job card shows material, labour and total cost, per job and per unit, the day the job closes. Is the six-month trial really free? Yes. Startups and registered partners get the full product for six months with 3 users, 1 GB of storage and 10,000 API calls a month. No card is required and nothing is charged when the trial ends; you choose a plan or the workspace pauses. Can ZMOS be customised without a developer? Yes. Every form takes custom fields, fields can be arranged by drag and drop, lookup filters and validation rules are set in the designer, and workflow rules run on every section. Zudo AI can draft these changes for an owner to approve. When a shop needs more, [the same engineers build it](https://zudoworks.com/custom-software-development/).
