Bhavnagar’s ship-breaking, re-rolling and diamond trades all buy and sell by weight, and weight is where records slip.
From Alang’s ship-recycling plots and Sihor’s re-rolling mills to the city’s diamond units and salt works, Bhavnagar buys and sells by weight, tracked in Tally, weighbridge slips and notebooks. GullySystem builds lot, weighment and stock software for these trades from its Bengaluru office, starting with a free technology audit of the records you already keep.
At Alang, a whole ship is bought, beached and broken into steel plates, machinery, fittings and furniture. Plates go to re-rolling mills around Sihor and Bhavnagar, and everything else is sold through salvage shops along the Alang road.
The city also runs diamond cutting units, salt works along the Gulf of Khambhat coast, and engineering units in its GIDC estate. Nearly every deal is weighed, and every weighment is a chance for the books to drift.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Bhavnagar.
Alang
Ship-recycling plots where each ship is a lot bought at a price and sold off in pieces. Weighbridge slips, sale bills and cutting records decide whether a ship made money.
The salvage shops on the Alang road
Shops selling marine engines, furniture, kitchen equipment and fittings from broken ships. Item-wise stock and cash sales are kept in notebooks.
Sihor and the re-rolling mills
Mills rolling ship plate into bars and sections. Input weight, output weight and burning loss per batch are the numbers that matter.
Diamond units in the city
Cutting and polishing units working for Surat and Mumbai traders, tracking packets and weights by karigar.
Salt works along the coast
Salt pans selling to chemical plants and packers, with truck loads, weighments and payments tracked by hand.
How Bhavnagar businesses pick and use software.
Bhavnagar owners are used to cash, weight and trust, and they want software that is quick at the weighbridge. They are wary of anything that makes their books look different from what their CA expects.
Many firms here are run by the owner and one accountant. They pick software after seeing it work at a known party’s yard.
Where Bhavnagar businesses lose time and money.
We bought a whole ship and we don’t know what it made us
Sales from one ship are spread across many bills over months. Lot costing by ship shows the purchase price against every rupee of sales from it.
Weighbridge slips and invoices don’t match
The weight is written on a slip and typed into the bill later. Reading the weight from the weighbridge into the bill removes the gap.
Salvage items are sold before anyone enters them
Buyers pick items straight off the floor, and stock is never recorded. Tagging items as they arrive shows what is sold and what is still in the shop.

Can the weighbridge reading go straight into the software?
Usually, yes. Most electronic weighbridges send their reading to a computer, and we capture it directly into the weighment and bill. That removes the typing and the questions about it.
Can we see profit on each ship we buy?
Yes. Each ship is set up as a lot with its purchase cost, and every sale and expense is recorded against it. The ship-wise profit report updates as the plot is cleared.
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.
