Stone crusher ERP with weighbridge, royalty and vehicle tracking
One system for a crusher plant and its quarry: every vehicle weighed and photographed at the weighbridge, royalty passes and GST invoices issued from the same entry, production and diesel tracked per shift, and party ledgers the owner can read on a phone.

The situation
The problem this solves
At a crusher plant the money moves through the weighbridge. Trucks are weighed, a slip is written, and the sale is entered later in a separate billing system. Slips go missing, a vehicle's tare weight changes without anyone noticing, royalty passes run out mid-month, and the owner learns the day's dispatch from a phone call.
The plant sells 6 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm and 40 mm aggregate, crushed sand, GSB and dust to contractors and RMC plants, much of it on credit. The owner wants every tonne that leaves the gate to appear on an invoice and in a ledger, and wants to see production, dispatch, diesel and outstanding amounts without being at the plant.
The system
What it includes
Weighbridge integration
Gross and tare weights are read directly from the weighbridge indicator over the serial port, so weight cannot be typed. Camera snapshots of the vehicle are saved with each weighment.
Sales, challans and GST invoices
The weighment creates the delivery challan and GST invoice by material and rate, with e-way bill details. Cash, credit and advance sales are handled from the same screen.
Royalty and transit passes
Royalty pass numbers are recorded against each trip, the remaining quantity per lease is tracked, and the system warns before the permitted quantity or pass book runs out.
Quarry and production
Boulders received from the quarry by trip, crusher running hours, output by size per shift, and stock of each material calculated from production minus dispatch.
Vehicles, trips and diesel
Own and hired tippers with trips, freight, driver, diesel issued from the plant's pump or bought outside, and cost per tonne per vehicle.
Party ledgers and collections
Customer and supplier ledgers with credit limits, ageing, payment reminders on WhatsApp and a block on dispatch when a party crosses its limit.
Blasting, spares and maintenance
Explosives and blasting records, spares stock, jaw and cone liner changes, breakdowns and planned maintenance by running hours.
Staff, attendance and wages
Attendance, overtime, advances and wages for plant staff, drivers and operators.
Owner's dashboard
Today's dispatch in tonnes and rupees, cash collected, production against target, diesel, outstanding by party and suspicious entries such as a tare weight that has changed.
How it works
From input to outcome
- 01
Gate in
Vehicle number is entered or picked; tare weight is captured from the indicator with a photo.
- 02
Load and weigh
Gross weight is captured; net weight, material and rate give the amount.
- 03
Documents
Challan, GST invoice and royalty pass entry are produced from the same weighment.
- 04
Ledger
The sale posts to the party ledger; credit limits are checked before the gate pass prints.
- 05
Owner's view
Dispatch, collection and stock update on the mobile dashboard at once.
What the design is built to achieve
- Every weighment tied to an invoice or a recorded reason, so no tonne leaves unbilled.
- Weights taken from the indicator, not typed, with a photo of each vehicle.
- Billing continues when the internet is down at the plant and syncs when it returns.
- The owner sees dispatch, production, diesel and outstanding amounts from anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
What does stone crusher software do?
It connects the weighbridge to billing and accounts: each vehicle's gross and tare weight is captured from the indicator, a challan and GST invoice are created for the material, royalty passes are tracked, and the sale posts to the customer's ledger. Production, diesel, vehicles and wages are managed in the same system.
Can the software read weight directly from our weighbridge?
In most cases, yes. Digital weighbridge indicators send the weight over a serial (RS-232) or USB port, and the software reads it from there. We confirm the indicator model and its output format before quoting.
Does it work without internet at the plant?
This design is offline-first: the plant computer keeps weighing and printing without a connection and synchronises with the cloud when the internet returns.
What does a custom crusher ERP cost compared with ready-made software?
Ready-made crusher billing packages in India start from a few thousand rupees a year and suit a single plant with standard needs. A custom ERP for several plants, a quarry, a transport fleet and your own rate and royalty rules is typically ₹3 lakh to ₹7 lakh, with no per-user licence.
Is this a project you delivered for a client?
No. This page is a solution blueprint, shown with sample data. It is the design we would start from, adjusted to your plant after a site visit.
