Srikakulam shells cashew at Palasa and grows jute inland. Both still settle on paper.

Srikakulam’s cashew units at Palasa and Kasibugga shell, peel and grade kernels that sell by grade across India, while mesta and jute from Palakonda, Amadalavalasa and Rajam go to the mills. Pharma plants at Pydibhimavaram buy from local vendors. GullySystem builds grading, lot and vendor-billing software for them, starting with a free technology audit run from Bengaluru.

At a glance

A cashew unit buys raw nuts by the bag, and what it earns depends on the kernel outturn and the grades that come out. Both are written in a register, and the comparison between lots is rarely made.

The rest of the district farms paddy, coconut and jute, and fishes along the coast. Srikakulam town holds the hospitals and colleges, and pilgrims come to the Sun temple at Arasavalli.

How software gets chosen

How Srikakulam businesses pick and use software.

Cashew owners compare themselves with their neighbours in Palasa and with Kollam, not with anyone further away, and they ask what a nearby unit gained before they ask what anything costs. A number from their own last season is the argument that works.

Vendors to the pharma plants are the opposite. Their customer’s purchase and quality departments set the paperwork, so the owner asks first whether the software prints what those departments already demand.

Where it breaks

Where Srikakulam businesses lose time and money.

Outturn per lot is never compared

Raw nuts in, kernels out by grade and the brokens are all noted, but each lot is a separate page. Which supplier consistently gives a poor yield is not known.

Peeling and grading wages are counted by hand

Workers are paid by weight peeled or graded, recorded on slips at the end of the shift. Wage calculation takes a day, and disputes follow it.

Plant purchase orders and gate entries live apart

A vendor’s order, the material delivered at the gate and the bill submitted sit in three places. Payment is chased without knowing which step is stuck.

Jute is bought by a weight that changes with the weather

Fibre is weighed at purchase and again at the mill, and moisture makes the two differ. The deduction is accepted because nothing was recorded at the first weighing.

Common questions

Questions Srikakulam owners ask before they call.

Can we compare kernel outturn between suppliers and lots?

Yes. Each lot carries its supplier, raw weight, kernels by grade and the rejects, so outturn is worked out the moment grading ends. Suppliers are then ranked on what they actually delivered.

Can piece-rate wages come straight from the shift entries?

Yes. Weight peeled or graded is recorded per worker per shift, and wages, PF and ESI follow from those entries. A worker can be shown her own tally to settle a dispute on the spot.

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.
