Bhuj’s craft, salt and construction-material businesses take orders on WhatsApp and record them in notebooks.

Bhuj has Kutchi handicrafts from Bhujodi, Ajrakhpur and the Banni villages, salt and mineral units, and a construction material trade. Artisan payments, exhibition sales and resort bookings are commonly kept in notebooks and chat threads. GullySystem provides order, stock and booking software built around the artisan ledger, delivered remotely from Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. Work goes out by the piece.

At a glance

Bhujodi weaves shawls and stoles, Ajrakhpur prints ajrakh, and the Banni villages do embroidery, lacquer work and copper bells. The work goes out through co-operatives, through exhibitions in other cities, and to buyers who order on WhatsApp. Most of it leaves Kutch.

Beyond the craft villages, the district works in salt, minerals, cement and construction material, with units around Anjar and Bhachau. Resorts and homestays on the road to Dhordo take bookings through the Rann season. Occupancy follows the calendar. Off-season is quiet.

Craft shops, building material dealers, clinics and professional practices serving the district from one small market area.

The Dhordo road and the Rann season

Resorts, tent stays and homestays taking bookings by phone and WhatsApp through the busy months of the year, when rooms, advances and arrival dates change often. Records are seasonal.

How software gets chosen

How Bhuj businesses pick and use software.

Craft businesses in Bhuj sell mostly outside Kutch. A catalogue, a price list and an order record therefore come before accounting. Many already sell on Instagram and want orders to move out of chat threads.

Owners often ask how a system will work when the artisan has no smartphone. The office records the work given out. The artisan receives a message.

Where it breaks

Where Bhuj businesses lose time and money.

Work given to weavers is tracked in a notebook

Yarn issued, pieces expected and payments made for each artisan are written across many pages. An artisan ledger showing what is out, what came back and what is owed replaces the book.

Exhibition sales in other cities come back as a bundle of slips

A stall in Delhi or Mumbai sells for a week, and stock and cash are reconciled after the return journey. Billing from a phone at the stall keeps stock and collection current.

Buyers order shawls by photo and the design name is not recorded

Orders arrive as pictures. The wrong design can be shipped. A catalogue with codes, sizes and prices makes the order clear.

Rann season bookings are taken on two phones

Tents and rooms are promised by the owner and by the manager separately. One booking calendar with advances shows a single record. Clashes are visible early.

Common questions

Questions Bhuj owners ask before they call.

Can the software track work given to weavers and printers in the villages?

Yes. Each artisan has a ledger of material issued, pieces received, rejections and payments, so pending work is visible by artisan. One artisan’s page is traced from the notebook first. Payments are recorded against the pieces and not as a lump sum.

Can Kutch craft be sold online while the shop billing continues?

Yes. The online store and the shop read the same stock, so a piece sold at Bhujodi stops showing as available online. Orders from both channels come into one list for packing and dispatch.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then 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. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with 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. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
