Alappuzha coir makers, houseboat operators and seafood processors can move orders and bookings off the notebook.
Alappuzha earns from coir, the backwaters and the sea, and most of its order books still live in notebooks and phone calendars. GullySystem builds order, booking and processing software for Cherthala coir units, Punnamada houseboats and Aroor exporters, linked to Tally and set up from Bengaluru over calls and planned visits.
A coir unit in Cherthala or Kalavoor takes orders by design, size and colour, often from export agents who want samples first. Each order then moves through spinning, weaving and finishing done partly by outside workers. The order book and the job-work register rarely agree.
At Punnamada and the boat jetties, houseboat owners take bookings from travel agents, online sites and walk-ins for the same boat on the same night. Aroor and Chandiroor, at the northern edge of the district, peel and pack shrimp for buyers abroad.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Alappuzha.
Cherthala and Kalavoor
Coir spinning, mat and matting units, both co-operative and private. Orders move through yarn issue, weaving and finishing, much of it done outside the main shed.
Punnamada and the houseboat jetties
Houseboat owners, crews and booking agents. Availability is tracked on a phone calendar, and each agent gets a different rate.
Aroor and Chandiroor
Seafood peeling sheds and processing plants packing for export. Raw material receipts, grading, freezing and shipment lots each need a record.
Kuttanad
Paddy farmed below sea level, with agri-input dealers, boat services and farm stays. Credit to farmers runs from sowing to harvest.
Mullakkal and the town centre
Textile shops, jewellers, clinics and professional offices in the old town. Counter billing and festival stock are kept in Tally and paper.
How Alappuzha businesses pick and use software.
Alappuzha’s coir trade runs through co-operative societies and small private units, and some owners first used software on an export agent’s portal. They are practical and want to see their own order on screen before believing anything.
Houseboat owners are the opposite: they already use several booking sites and channel apps, and the question is how to stop them contradicting each other.
Where Alappuzha businesses lose time and money.
The same houseboat was sold twice for Saturday
One booking came through an agent by phone and another through a travel site. On the lake there is no spare boat to move a family to at the last minute.
Weavers take the yarn and we lose count
Coir yarn goes out by weight to outside weavers and comes back as mats by piece. Without a job-work ledger, the difference between yarn issued and product returned is never settled.
Every export lot needs its own file for the buyer
Seafood and coir buyers abroad ask for packing lists, grade details and certificates per shipment. Building each file from scattered sheets holds up the shipment.

Can one calendar hold bookings from agents, websites and walk-ins?
Yes. Every booking, whatever its source, lands on one calendar per boat, and a boat that is taken stops showing as free on the other channels that allow it. Agent rates and commissions sit alongside each booking.
Can you track coir yarn sent to outside weavers?
Yes. Yarn issued by weight and mats returned by piece are recorded against each weaver, with the expected conversion. Anyone with a shortfall shows up before the payment is made.
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.
