Forward Deployed Engineering for Indian SMEs. Bangalore studio, Kochi on the ground, multi-lingual team. Privacy-conscious by default.
[ TL;DR ]
Bluematter Labs operates across India from a Bangalore studio with on-site sprints in Kochi and broader South India. We build custom CRMs (customer intelligence, lead scoring), ERP systems (extend Tally / Zoho / BUSY / SAP B1), and BI dashboards for CXOs. AI deployments are privacy-conscious by default, with audit logs and explicit operational boundaries.

Bangalore is our home studio and we travel across South India for discovery sprints and weekly on-site visits. Most active in Bangalore and Kochi; we also take engagements in Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi NCR depending on fit. Travel cost is folded into the engagement.
Yes, a big share of our India work. Family-run trading, distribution and manufacturing businesses where the patriarch or matriarch is still the de-facto CXO. We design for that decision-making rhythm: dashboards on the phone, quick approval workflows, audit trails that explain themselves to the next generation taking over.
ERP and accounting integrations handle GST invoice generation, e-invoicing (IRN / QR), and TDS / TCS line-item tagging. Statutory reporting cycles are surfaced in admin dashboards. We always recommend a CA firm signs off the actual submissions; we provide the data layer.
Regularly. The pattern is: keep the accounting backbone where your CA is comfortable (Tally / Zoho / BUSY / SAP B1) and build the custom layer on top for inventory, dispatch, quoting, customer intelligence, or whatever's specific to your operation. Data flows back into the backbone so the books stay clean.
Same as everywhere else: quoted in writing after a 30-minute brief, fixed-price, no surprises. We're transparent that engagements here typically price lower than UAE / AU / DE work because the on-site travel cost is near zero and the multi-lingual team is local. The quality bar is identical.
