Aerospace-grade manufacturing software for mid-market plants.
We build shop-floor digitization, MES customization, and ERP integration in 8–16 weeks. Built by engineers who started in aerospace MES at Solumina. A division of Brilworks Software LLP.
The mid-market manufacturing software gap
Most $50M–$300M manufacturers are stuck between two bad options: enterprise software priced for Fortune 500, or generic dev shops with no manufacturing context.
Paper and Excel on the shop floor
Work orders printed and walked. OEE in spreadsheets. Quality holds on clipboards. In 2026.
ERP that doesn't see the floor
Your ERP is the source of truth — but it has no idea what's actually happening on the line right now.
$1M quotes from Tier-1 SIs
Cognizant, TCS, and Capgemini quote $500K–$2M for projects that should cost $50K–$150K.
Five productized sprints. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Live in 4–14 weeks.
No 18-month projects. No $1M quotes. Just specific, scoped work with clear deliverables.

Built by engineers who started in aerospace MES.
In 2012, Vikas Singh joined a team building Manufacturing Execution Systems on the Solumina platform for aerospace and defense primes — the software that runs inside hangars at Boeing and Lockheed.
Three years of aerospace MES teaches you that audit trails are the product, edge cases are 80% of the work, and the software industry has built two parallel worlds: one for the Fortune 500, and one for everyone else.
The everyone-else world is bigger.
