Ichalkaranji’s powerloom job work needs a ledger for every beam, yarn lot and metre of grey cloth.

Ichalkaranji’s powerloom owners, sizing units, yarn traders and grey-cloth merchants work on job work, tracked in notebooks, on WhatsApp and in Tally. Yarn goes out, beams come back, and cloth is paid by the metre. GullySystem supplies job-work, yarn and wage ledgers for this trade, set up remotely from Bengaluru.

At a glance

In Ichalkaranji, yarn bought from traders goes to a sizing unit and comes back as beams. The beams are woven on powerlooms and newer shuttleless looms, often on job work for a master weaver or trader. The grey cloth goes on elsewhere.

Each step has a quantity that should match the next, and the loom owner is paid by the metre or pick. With thousands of small sheds, most of this is recorded in notebooks and a Tally file.

Around Ichalkaranji

The areas, estates and markets that matter in Ichalkaranji.

The powerloom sheds

Small owners run a handful of looms each, weaving on job work. Beam received, cloth delivered and wages paid are written in one notebook per shed.

Sizing units

Sizing units size warp yarn and wind it on beams for loom owners. Yarn is weighed in kilos. Yarn in, beams out and the job-work charge are the main records.

The yarn and grey-cloth trade

Traders supply yarn on credit, buy back grey cloth by quality and length, and send it by truck to processors outside the town. Party ledgers and quality-wise stock decide their margins.

Yadrav and the shuttleless loom units

Larger units, many in the Parvati co-operative industrial estate at Yadrav, run rapier and air-jet looms and processing. Production per shift and loom efficiency matter here as much as the ledger. Looms run around the clock.

How software gets chosen

How Ichalkaranji businesses pick and use software.

Loom owners are cost-conscious. Software is reviewed when a clear loss shows up, such as yarn going missing or wage calculation taking the whole weekend.

Shed work runs in Marathi, and data may be entered by a family member rather than a trained clerk. The app has to work on a phone, because sheds may not have a computer.

Where it breaks

Where Ichalkaranji businesses lose time and money.

Yarn given for job work does not match the cloth that returns

Yarn goes to the weaver by weight and cloth returns by metre, so the gap is argued over. A job-work ledger with the agreed conversion shows the shortfall beam by beam.

Weaver wages take the weekend to calculate

Wages depend on metres, picks and quality, written in the shed book. The sheet is worked out by hand on Sunday. Entering production daily lets the phone work out the week’s wages.

Profit by quality of cloth is unclear

Traders sell many qualities to many buyers at different rates and credit terms, so a quality-wise sales and cost report is needed to show which qualities to push.

Old lots remain unpaid

Payments come in parts against old bills, and it is unclear which lot is still open. Old lots stay open. A lot-wise outstanding list settles that before the next delivery.

Common questions

Questions Ichalkaranji owners ask before they call.

Can it calculate weaver wages from metres and picks?

Yes. The rate is set by quality, pick count or metre, and the software works out each weaver’s wages from daily production. The rate card is recorded as it stands. The week’s wage sheet is then ready on the phone for payment.

Does it keep the job-work records our CA needs for GST?

Yes. Every job-work challan, with goods sent and received, is recorded, so the CA has the data for the ITC-04 return. The CA files the return. The data arrives organised.

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.
