    Made for you

    Built around the way you work, not a ready-made product you have to fit.

Trusted by businesses across industries

Questions businesses ask us first.

What does Helmsman do?

Helmsman Consultancy builds software for businesses: the systems that run your operations (ERP, CRM, HRMS), automation that connects your tools, and the apps, websites and SaaS products your customers use. It is based in Ahmedabad, India.

Custom software or a ready-made product?

Usually custom. Helmsman builds around the way you already work, so you do not have to change your business to fit the software. Where a ready-made product fits, we say so.

How does a project start?

With your business, not with code. We sit with your teams, map how work actually moves, and agree a requirement document before anything is built.

What are the stages of a project?

Seven: Understand, Analyse, Architect, Design, Develop, Implement and Evolve. The first two decide whether the other five are worth anything.

Can you connect the software we already use?

Usually yes, if the other system has a way in, such as an API or a data export. We make your existing tools talk to each other, so an order typed once updates billing, stock and reports on its own.

Which industries do you work with?

Manufacturing, trading, retail, services, healthcare, education, jewellery, finance and consumer brands, in India and overseas.

Where is Helmsman based?

In Ahmedabad, India, at A-603 Shapath Hexa. We work with clients in India and overseas. Call +91 94086 64922 or email contact@helmsman.in.

Is our information kept confidential?

Yes. We sign an NDA on every project, which is why most of our case studies don't name the client.

What happens after the system goes live?

We stay on: supporting, extending and adapting the system as your business changes.

How can we work with you?

As a full custom build, a modernisation of old software, a product we design and build, a dedicated team, or consulting. Every engagement starts with response times and check-ins agreed in writing.
