Trace each batch from bulk and fragrance lot to the filled tube and distributor.
Makers of soaps, shampoos, creams, hair oils and face washes, under their own brand or for other brands, keep formulations, batch records and packaging stock in separate files. Bills of material, work orders and stage records for bulk and filled packs sit in the production management software. Batch-wise finished stock, returns by batch and a view for each brand owner are built on top during implementation.
You buy actives, bases, fragrance, tubes, bottles, pumps and printed cartons, make bulk in a batch and fill it into packs. You sell through distributors and marketplaces, and some brand owners hand you their formulas.
Tally covers invoices. The batch manufacturing record, the packing component count and the retention sample list are usually paper or separate sheets.
The store receives each ingredient and packing component against a purchase order, with the supplier’s lot noted. The plant draws a bulk batch from a formulation sheet, mixes it, and holds it for a quality check before it is released to the filling line.
Filling and packing run in stages: bulk transfer, filling, capping, labelling, mono carton and outer carton. Rejections occur at each stage, and the counts of filled packs, cartons and leftover components are written on a sheet at the end of the shift.
Finished goods leave by batch to distributors and marketplace warehouses. Returns come back with a complaint, a damage note or a near-expiry stock list, and somebody must find the batch behind each one. Brand owners who use you as a contract maker expect a record per job.

Can a bill of materials hold a formulation?
Yes, as quantities for a stated batch size, with levels for bulk and for the filled pack. How your chemist scales a formula to a new batch size is reviewed during set-up.
Will it keep our records ready for an inspection?
It keeps batch, lot, quality reading and dispatch data together. The records your licence or auditor asks for, and how they must be signed, are for your adviser to confirm.
Can it manage our marketplace orders?
Not on its own. Making and dispatching are handled by the production software; marketplace listings and orders live on each marketplace. A feed of stock figures to them is separate work.
Can we keep Tally?
Tally can stay for accounts and GST. There is no direct link, so figures are read inside GullySystem, and a file for your accountant is quoted as extra work.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
