Benefits of N Computing for a MSME Business in India using Finsys ERP
| Reduce capital Cost by 70% | Reduce Hassles by 95% | Reduce Electricity Cost by 90% | Reduce E-waste by 95% |
Recommendations — March 2026
We have seen 100+ MSME Manufacturers adopt N Computing Thin Clients with Finsys ERP — on their Production Floors, Stores, Gate, and Quality Departments
Our Recommendation is to “Deploy N Computing Thin Clients for Shop Floor & Peripheral Departments“ :
This is our suggestion based on success stories from MSME manufacturing clients across India — in Flexible Packaging, Corrugation, Auto Components, Rubber Moulding, and similar industries.
Detailed reasons are as under
Background
What is N Computing?
N Computing is a Thin Client solution. Instead of placing a full PC at every workstation, you place a small, lightweight N Computing device (about the size of a small box, weighing under 400 grams). This device connects to a central server via the network and delivers the Finsys ERP screen directly to the user.
No hard disk.
No fan.
No maintenance headache.
The processing happens on the server, not on the thin client device. The thin client just shows the screen and passes keyboard/mouse inputs.
Popular N Computing models used with Finsys ERP:
-
N Computing RX300 / RX300+ — most popular for MSME shop floors (₹8,000–₹12,000 per device)
-
N Computing L300 / L400 — zero client, plug-and-play (₹9,000–₹12,000 per device)
-
N Computing EX500 — for higher performance needs
Compare this to a full desktop PC which costs ₹35,000–₹55,000 per seat — and you will immediately see the math.
Why is N Computing the RIGHT choice for MSME Manufacturing clients using Finsys ERP?
1. The Production Floor
The Problem:
The production floor is a harsh environment — dust, humidity, heat. A full PC here is overkill, expensive, prone to breakdown, and invites misuse (pen drives, internet browsing, games).
The N Computing Solution:
-
Small compact device — mounts behind the monitor or on the wall
-
No moving parts, no hard disk — almost zero breakdown
-
Workers get access ONLY to the Finsys ERP screens they need — nothing else
-
Gate entry for Production Orders, Job Cards, WIP tracking — all on a ₹9,000–₹10,000 device
-
If the device fails, swap it in 5 minutes — no data loss (data lives on the server)
Finsys ERP modules used on Production Floor via N Computing:
-
Production Order Entry & Tracking
-
Job Card Recording
-
Shift-wise Output Recording
-
Wastage / Rework Entry
-
Machine-wise Output Reports
2. The Stores / Warehouse
The Problem:
Stores is another area where full PCs are often misused. Also, stores staff may not be highly tech-savvy — you need a simple, reliable terminal.
The N Computing Solution:
-
Easy to use — just power on and log in to Finsys ERP
-
Works perfectly for GRN (Goods Receipt Note), Material Issue, Stock Transfer, and Inventory Reports
-
Multiple thin clients can run off one server — one server handles 10 to 30+ users simultaneously
Finsys ERP modules used in Stores via N Computing:
-
GRN Entry (Goods Receipt Note)
-
Material Issue to Production
-
Inter-Store Transfers
-
Stock Balance Reports
-
Barcode Scanning (USB barcode scanners supported)
3. The Gate / Security Cabin
The Problem:
Gate has typically been ignored in ERP implementations — a full PC feels expensive for “just a gate entry” usage.
The N Computing Solution:
-
At ₹9,000–₹10,000 per device, it is completely cost-justified even for the gate
-
Gate staff can do Inward / Outward Challan entries, Visitor Management, Vehicle tracking
-
Works even in a small gate cabin — compact size fits anywhere
Finsys ERP modules used at Gate via N Computing:
-
Inward Gate Entry
-
Outward Challan Verification
-
Delivery Challan / Vehicle Number Recording
-
e-Way Bill trigger from Finsys
4. The Quality Department
The Problem:
Quality (QC/QA) needs a terminal for inspection recording, rejection tracking, and certificate generation — but a full PC is again costlier than needed.
The N Computing Solution:
-
Clean, dedicated device with access only to Quality modules in Finsys ERP
-
Inspection Reports, Rejection Entry, Certificate of Analysis — all easily done
-
USB port available for connecting external instruments / label printers
Finsys ERP modules used in Quality via N Computing:
-
Incoming Quality Inspection (IQI / RMQI)
-
In-Process Quality Checks
-
Final Inspection Entry
-
Rejection & Rework Recording
-
Quality Certificates Printing
Summary of Key Benefits
Financial Impact for a Typical 20-User MSME
Let us take an example: A packaging manufacturer with 20 shop-floor / peripheral users (Production: 8, Stores: 4, Gate: 2, Quality: 3, Accounts/Admin: 3)
With Full PCs:
-
Hardware cost: 20 × ₹45,000 = ₹9,00,000
-
Electricity (continuous, 300 days): 20 nodes × 150 watts × 10 hrs × 300 days = ₹27,000 per year (approx.)
-
Total Year 1 cost: ~₹xxxxxx+
With N Computing:
-
Hardware cost: 20 × ₹10,000 = ₹2,00,000
-
Electricity: 20 nodes × 7 watts × 10 hrs × 300 days = ₹1,260 per year (approx.)
-
Server cost (one good server for 20 users): ₹1,50,000 … This can be lower at Rs 50000 only for light Finsys ERP users
-
Total Year 1 cost: ~₹xxxxxx
You save approximately ₹7,50,000 in Year 1 alone.
Common Questions
Q: Will Finsys ERP work smoothly on N Computing thin clients?
Yes. Finsys ERP’s Main EXE (VB-based) is highly suitable for thin client environments. The processing happens on the server and the screens are delivered to the thin client — this is exactly how Finsys ERP is designed to work in a networked environment.
Q: How many users can one server support?
Typically, one well-configured server (32 GB RAM, 8-core processor) can support 25 to 50 simultaneous Finsys ERP users on thin clients comfortably.
Q: What happens if the server goes down?
This is the same risk as any networked ERP. We recommend placing the server on Oracle Cloud or E2E Networks (as per our separate server recommendation page) to ensure 99.9% uptime. You can also keep a local on-premises server as backup.
Q: Can we use N Computing for remote / multi-location setups?
For same-location (LAN) usage — N Computing is ideal. For remote locations (WAN), Cloud-based access is more suitable. N Computing is best deployed within the same building / campus.
Q: What is the typical useful life of an N Computing device?
7 to 10 years — significantly higher than a full PC. Very low breakdown rate due to no moving parts.
Our Recommendation
For MSME Manufacturing Companies using Finsys ERP with 15 to 100 users:
Deploy N Computing Thin Clients for all shop floor, stores, gate, and quality department users.
Keep full PCs only for: Senior Management, Accounts Team, Sales Team, ERP Admin — where heavy usage of Excel, email, PDF, and other software is required.
Server setup: Keep the database on Oracle Cloud or a local high-spec server. The N Computing thin clients connect to this server via your LAN.
This combination gives you the best cost-performance balance for a MSME manufacturing business in India.
