Estate, labour and booking software for Kodagu coffee planters and homestays.
Kodagu has coffee estates with pepper and cardamom grown alongside, curing works at Kushalnagar and homestays that fill at weekends. GullySystem works on estate, labour and booking software for them from Nagarbhavi in Bengaluru. Muster rolls, picking records and room bookings are the three books involved, and only some of them are typed. Phone screens can work offline.
Estates around Madikeri, Somwarpet, Virajpet and Gonikoppal grow coffee under shade, with pepper on the trees and cardamom in patches. Labour is hired by day and task. A notebook holds the muster roll.
Picked coffee goes to pulping units on the estate, then to curing works at Kushalnagar, where it is graded and sold on to exporters. Some estate families also run homestays and resorts that fill through the season and empty in the monsoon.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Kodagu.
How Kodagu businesses pick and use software.
Planters who run an estate and a homestay from one office may want one place to see both rather than two apps. Many already keep a careful Excel sheet. It needs to stop breaking.
Mobile coverage is patchy on parts of the estates and inside the ghats. Software that needs a constant connection stops being used there, so offline entry is designed in from the start.
Where Kodagu businesses lose time and money.
Muster rolls are typed at month end
Attendance, task and advance for each worker sit in a notebook until wages are worked out. Entering attendance on a phone at the labour line lets the wage sheet build itself, and the notebook can stay if the writer prefers it.
Picking records and curing outturn do not match
Cherry sent to the curing works comes back as a grade and a weight, weeks later. Lot records show each block’s loss.
Homestay bookings clash with the owner’s own guests
Rooms are promised on WhatsApp, on a travel site and to relatives who ring the owner directly. One shared calendar prevents the clash.
Pepper and cardamom sales are not recorded
Small lots go to a trader when the rate looks right, and the year’s total is estimated. Recording sales by block gives a crop record.

Read the case studyQuestions Kodagu owners ask before they call.
Will attendance work where the estate has no mobile signal?
Yes. The app records attendance and advances on the phone and uploads them when it finds a signal. Nothing is lost offline.
Can one system handle both the estate and the homestay?
Yes. They stay separate in the books, with their own income, expenses and staff, and both appear on one screen. Moved workers are recorded where the work happened.
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.
