Kollam cashew processors and harbour traders can keep worker, lot and export records in one place.
Kollam’s cashew factories run on people and paper, with piece-rate wages in registers and raw nut lots tracked by hand, while the Neendakara and Sakthikulangara harbours settle catches in notebooks. GullySystem builds processing, payroll and export software that connects to Tally, working with Kollam owners from Bengaluru.
A cashew factory in Kollam may employ a large workforce, most of them women, paid by the kilo for shelling, peeling and grading. The wage register, the PF and ESI records and the yield from each lot of raw nut have to agree, and every season someone spends nights making them agree.
On the coast, boat owners, auctioneers and seafood processors at Neendakara and Sakthikulangara trade every morning. Chinnakada and the town centre carry the retail, jewellery and hospital business.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Kollam.
Cashew factories around Kollam and Kundara
Processing units, many run for decades, that shell, peel, grade and pack kernels. Attendance, output per worker and lot yield are the records that decide profit.
Neendakara and Sakthikulangara harbours
Boat owners, auctioneers, ice plants and seafood buyers. Catch, advances to crews and buyer payments are settled in cash and notebooks.
Chavara
The mineral sands belt, with contractors, transporters and suppliers working for the plants there. Contract bills and trip records are the main paperwork.
Chinnakada and the town centre
Textile showrooms, jewellers, hospitals and professional offices around the clock tower. Billing and customer credit sit in Tally and paper.
Karunagappally
A trading town to the north, with wholesale grocery, building-material and hardware shops supplying the surrounding panchayats on credit.
How Kollam businesses pick and use software.
Cashew families have kept books the same way for decades, and several factories have changed hands. Buyers of software here want something the factory supervisor can use with very little training.
Labour records matter more here than almost anywhere in Kerala. Owners choose software that makes wage, PF and ESI registers easy to produce for an inspector, well before they think about sales dashboards.
Where Kollam businesses lose time and money.
Piece-rate wages take the whole of Saturday
Output is weighed per worker per day, and wages are worked out from the weighing book. With a large workforce, one wrong entry means a queue of complaints on payday.
We cannot say what yield we got from each lot of raw nut
Raw nut from different origins gives different kernel outturn and grades. When lots are mixed on the floor, the factory cannot tell which purchase made money.
The harbour auction runs on cash and a notebook
Boats land early, fish is sold in minutes, and advances to crews are adjusted later. The boat owner learns what the trip earned only after the auctioneer’s book is read out.

Can the software calculate piece-rate wages from daily output?
Yes. Output entered per worker per day, from a weighing scale or a supervisor’s tablet, produces the week’s wages with PF and ESI deductions. The wage register prints in the format an inspector expects.
Can it show kernel outturn for each lot of raw cashew?
Yes. Each raw nut lot keeps its origin, weight and cost, and the kernels, grades and shells from it are recorded as they come off the line. Outturn and cost per kilo of kernel show for every lot.
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.
