About

Built for the business between the spreadsheet and the enterprise ERP.

Most SME manufacturers and processors run their operation on a mix of spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and a phone call to check what's actually happening on the floor. The enterprise ERPs built to fix that are priced, and configured, for companies ten times their size.

SkelBiz exists in that gap: a platform that covers purchase orders, multi-warehouse inventory, a configurable production workflow, and dispatch - priced and scoped for a business that doesn't need (or want) an enterprise rollout to get there.

Most of the manufacturers we talk to already have Tally Prime for accounting, and we're not trying to replace it - SkelBiz is the operations layer Tally was never built to be, syncing confirmed orders straight into the Tally you already trust instead of asking you to give it up.

How we build

Every module on this site is something you can actually click into and see running - not a roadmap slide. Where something isn't built yet, we say so directly (see the Tally Integration page for an example) instead of implying it works. We'd rather you trust what's on this site completely than be impressed by it briefly.

Where we are today

We're early. Babji Food Industries is our founding pilot partner, running purchase, inventory, and production workflows on SkelBiz today. We're building the platform alongside real operational feedback, not in isolation - which is also why a demo call starts with understanding your process, not a fixed script.
