Project, budget and billing software for Andheri West’s production and creative firms.
Andheri West works in shoots and deliveries, from the production houses around Veera Desai Road to the agencies and boutiques at Lokhandwala. Budgets and crew payments are often held in spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. GullySystem provides project, budget and billing software for this work, built in Bengaluru and supported remotely.
Andheri West is home to many film and television production businesses. Production offices, post-production rooms, sound studios, casting agents and equipment rental firms sit within a few lanes of each other.
A project runs on a budget sheet, an advance handed to a line producer and bills that arrive after the shoot. Accounts often close after the team has started the next job, so costs are reconstructed from paper and memory. The next shoot starts anyway.
Where the businesses are in Andheri West, and what they run on.
How Andheri West businesses pick and use software.
Production and studio owners want a system working before the next project starts, and they judge it by whether the coordinator uses it. Long implementations do not fit that calendar.
Most already pay for a scheduling tool and a cloud drive. What is missing is budgets, crew payments and client approvals tied to the same project, in one place that the production team will actually open. Another app to ignore is not the aim.
GullySystem works from Bengaluru, which suits an industry used to working across cities. Shared screens, video calls and WhatsApp cover the build, and a visit for the changeover or a session with the production team can be arranged.
Where Andheri West businesses lose time and money.
Budget overruns appear at the wrap
Budget lines sit in a spreadsheet updated by hand, while advances go out every day. The gap widens unseen. Recording each advance and bill against the project shows the position while the shoot is still running, not after it.
Crew payments take weeks to settle
Day rates, overtime and conveyance are agreed verbally on set with many freelancers at once. Memory becomes the record. A crew sheet per shoot day, confirmed on a phone, becomes the payment list at the end and settles most queries before they start.
Studio suites are double-booked
A suite is held on one call and released on another, so the diary and the phone disagree. Nobody sees the idle hours either. One booking screen covering every suite and machine prevents the clash, and it shows which hours went unused so that they can be offered.
Client feedback is spread across WhatsApp groups
Notes on a cut arrive from different people at different times, and the editor works from the last message seen. The wrong cut can go out. Comments held against a version, in one place, keep every note tied to the cut it refers to.

Can freelancers use it without paid logins?
Yes. Crew and vendors receive a link on WhatsApp to confirm their day, their rate and their bill, with no login to remember. Only your own team works inside the system, so crew size does not change the number of logins.
How does an outside CA fit in?
It depends on how the CA prefers to work. Advances, bills and payments recorded against a project can pass to Tally in the form the CA expects, which cuts down voucher chasing. We include a conversation with the CA before this is decided, and the project view producers want stays in GullySystem.
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.
