Surat sells sarees on credit and diamonds on trust, and both trades lose hours reconciling what went where.
Surat’s textile traders on Ring Road, processing houses in Sachin and Pandesara, and diamond units in Varachha and Katargam track goods through many hands, mostly in Tally, notebooks and WhatsApp. GullySystem builds job-work, lot-tracking and agent-order software for these trades from its Bengaluru office, beginning with a free technology audit of the records you keep today.
A Surat saree can pass through weaving, processing, embroidery and lace work before a Ring Road shop sells it through agents to retailers across India. At every step it moves on a challan, and at the end it is sold on credit with returns expected.
Diamonds follow a similar path in a smaller packet. Rough is sorted, planned, cut and polished by karigars in Katargam and Varachha, and traded in Mahidharpura and at the Diamond Bourse in Khajod.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Surat.
Ring Road textile markets
Wholesale sarees, dress materials and fabrics sold through agents to retailers in other states. Agent-wise orders, goods returns and long credit are the daily work.
Sachin, Pandesara and Udhna
Weaving, dyeing, printing and processing units working on job work for traders. Lot-wise grey receipts, process stages and finished metres are their records.
Varachha, Katargam and Mahidharpura
Diamond cutting and polishing units and traders. Packets issued to karigars, weight before and after, and trade on memo all need exact records.
Hazira
Steel, port and heavy industry, with a large base of contractors, fabricators and transporters serving them.
Adajan, Vesu and Piplod
Newer residential Surat with clinics, coaching classes, interior designers and showrooms.
How Surat businesses pick and use software.
A Surat textile trader picks software his agents can use on a phone, because agents take the orders. If an agent in Kolkata or Jaipur can’t see the catalogue and rate, the system is useless to him.
Diamond firms are private and careful. They ask where the data sits and who can see it before they ask what the software does.
Where Surat businesses lose time and money.
Agents book orders across India and we see them on WhatsApp
Orders arrive as photos and voice notes, and some are missed. An agent order app with the catalogue and rate list puts every order in one queue.
Goods returns and discounts eat our margin and we can’t see it
Returned pieces and after-sale discounts are adjusted in Tally without a link to the original sale. Tracking returns against each bill and agent shows which parties really make money.
Grey fabric goes to the mill and comes back short
Metres sent and metres received are written on different challans. A job-work ledger matches them lot by lot and flags the shortage while it can still be claimed.
Diamond packets move between karigars and we reconcile weight by hand
Each stage changes the weight, and the manager checks it in a register each evening. Packet-wise records with weight at each stage show loss per karigar.

Can our agents across India take orders from a catalogue on their phone?
Yes. We build an agent app with your designs, rates and stock, and orders land directly in your office queue. Each agent sees only their own parties and commission.
Our diamond data is sensitive. Where will it be stored?
Wherever you decide. We can host it on a private Indian cloud server or on a machine in your office, with access limited by role. Our security review during the free technology audit covers this before anything is built.
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.
