The Fast Technology platform 8 min read

One platform. Twelve products.

Every Fast product is the same underlying system with a different set of modules switched on. They share one item and customer master and one database, so they work together the moment you turn them on — no middleware, one login, no re-keying.

What "one platform" actually means

Most manufacturers end up with a drawer full of software — one tool for sales, another for stores, a spreadsheet for the shop floor, a separate package for billing — and then spend years trying to make them talk to each other. Fast Technology takes the opposite approach. It is one platform, and each of the twelve Fast products is simply that same platform with a particular set of modules switched on.

So Fast CRM, Fast Inventory, Fast Production and Fast Billing are not four applications you have to integrate. They are four views of one system that already shares the same data. Turn on more, and nothing has to be connected — it was never apart.

A simple way to think about it
Buying five disconnected tools is like hiring five people who each keep their own notebook. Fast Technology is one team writing in one shared book — everyone sees the same page, updated as it happens.
The value isn't more features. It's that sales, stores, the shop floor, quality and accounts finally agree on the same numbers, because there is only one set of numbers.
The hard part of running a business on software was never the software. It was the gaps between the software. One platform removes the gaps.

Why twelve products, not one giant app

If it is all one platform, why sell twelve products at all? Because no two businesses need the same parts. A trading company needs stock and billing but not a shop floor; an automotive supplier needs quality and production but may not need project management. Packaging the platform as focused products means you buy — and learn — only the part you need, while keeping the freedom to switch on the rest later.

Same platform, different modules

Each product is a curated set of modules on the shared platform — focused enough to buy on its own, yet part of the same whole.

One codebase

One shared spine

Every product draws on the same masters and the same document engine, so adding one never means re-entering data you already hold.

Shared data

One vendor, one roadmap

Built and supported by one team in Pune, so there is a single line of accountability for the whole suite — not finger-pointing between suppliers.

Single vendor

One item and customer master

The clearest sign that this is one platform and not a bundle of separate tools is the master data. There is one item master and one customer and supplier master for the whole suite. The item you create in stores is the same item production consumes, quality inspects and billing invoices. Update a customer's GST number once, and every product sees the change instantly — because there is only one record.

Compare that with the usual set-up, where the same item exists five times in five systems and someone spends every month reconciling why the numbers disagree.

Documents that reference each other

Because it is one platform, the documents don't just live near each other — they reference each other directly. A single order can flow across the whole suite without anyone copying data from one screen into another. Here is what that looks like end to end:

One order, across the suite
1
An enquiry becomes an order
Fast CRM turns a lead into a quotation and a confirmed order — against the one customer master the whole suite uses.
2
The order becomes a plan and a work order
Fast Planning schedules it and Fast Production raises a work order — reading the same items, no re-entry.
3
The work order consumes stock
Material issue deducts from the same stock ledger Fast Inventory keeps — the shop floor and stores see one figure.
4
The invoice reads the same items
Fast Billing invoices the delivered goods straight from the shared item and customer records — nothing keyed twice.
5
A complaint can raise an 8D
If the customer reports an issue, Fast Complaint links it back to the very order and lot, and opens a corrective action.

Not one of those hand-offs is an integration. They are the same platform passing a document from one module to the next, so the history stays joined up from first enquiry to closed complaint.

No middleware, one login, no re-keying

When people connect separate systems, they add a layer in between — connectors, sync jobs, an integration platform — that has to be built, paid for and maintained forever, and that breaks quietly at the worst moment. Fast Technology has none of that, for the simple reason that there is nothing to connect: the products are already one system.

  • No integration middleware. No connectors to license, no nightly file transfers, nothing to break between systems.
  • One login. Your team signs in once and moves across whatever products you run, with permissions in one place.
  • No re-keying. Data entered once is seen everywhere, so the same order isn't typed into three systems — and typos can't creep in between them.
  • One audit trail. Because every document lives on one engine, you can trace a lot or an order across products without stitching logs together.

Cloud or on-premise, one vendor

The same platform runs whichever way suits your IT policy. Put it in the cloud and let us host it, or run it on-premise on your own server behind your own firewall — the platform, the masters and the documents are identical either way, and you can move between them as your needs change.

Either way you deal with one vendor: Fast Technology is built in Pune by Improsys and supported by one team. There is a single line of accountability for the whole suite, one support number, and one roadmap — no stitching together tools from different suppliers and hoping they keep working together.

Start with one, add more

You don't have to adopt the whole suite on day one. Almost every customer starts with the one product that solves their most painful problem, gets value from it, and switches on more as they are ready.

  • Chasing an IATF audit? Start with Fast Quality.
  • Messy GST billing? Start with Fast Billing.
  • Then add the rest — each one is a configuration change, not a project.

Because it is one platform, adding a product doesn't disturb what you already run. Your masters, documents and history carry straight over, and the new module simply starts using the data that is already there.

Proven across real deployments

This isn't a concept — it is how the platform is used every day. Manufacturers run several Fast products together as one connected system, from the shop floor through stores and quality to sales and billing.

Illustrative — a connected manufacturing deployment

Several products, one system, one source of truth

Picture a mid-sized manufacturer running Fast Production for the shop floor, Fast Inventory for stores, Fast Quality for inspection and Fast Billing for invoicing. A customer order flows from enquiry to plan to work order to dispatch to invoice without leaving the platform; a finished lot traces back to the exact material and operations that made it; and stock, quality and accounts never disagree because they read the same records. This is the profile behind real Improsys deployments such as Solidus, Nikhtish Engineering and Micro India, where multiple Fast products run together as one platform.

Frequently asked questions

What does "one platform, twelve products" mean?

It means every Fast Technology product — ERP, production, planning, quality, inventory, WMS, CRM, complaint, billing, maintenance, project management and audit — is the same underlying system with a different set of modules switched on. You are not buying twelve separate applications that have to be glued together; you are turning on parts of one platform that already share the same data and the same document engine.

Do the Fast products share the same data?

Yes. All twelve products run on one database with one item master and one customer and supplier master. An item you create for stores is the same item production consumes, quality inspects and billing invoices — there is no separate copy per product and no synchronising between systems. Change a customer's details once and every product sees it.

Is there any integration middleware between the products?

No. Because the products are one platform rather than separate tools, documents reference each other natively — a complaint can raise an 8D, a work order consumes stock, an invoice reads the same items. There is no connector to buy, no nightly sync file and no middleware to maintain, and no re-keying of the same data into a second system.

Can I start with one product and add others later?

Yes, and most customers do. Start with the product that solves your most painful problem and switch on more when you are ready. Because it is one platform, adding a product is a configuration change rather than a new integration project — your existing masters, documents and history carry straight over.

Is the platform cloud or on-premise?

Both. The same platform runs in the cloud or on your own on-premise server, whichever suits your IT policy, and you deal with one vendor — Improsys in Pune — for the whole suite. Manufacturers in India and worldwide run it either way.

Is the shared platform proven in real factories?

Yes. The platform is in day-to-day use across real manufacturing deployments — companies such as Solidus, Nikhtish Engineering and Micro India run several Fast products together as one connected system, from the shop floor through stores and quality to sales and billing.
