Ambattur estate units work to customer schedules and still write their job cards by hand.
Ambattur Industrial Estate runs on machining, sheet metal, plastics and assembly work for the larger plants around Chennai, with call-off schedules, inspection reports and job-work challans as the daily paperwork. Most of it is written by hand and typed into Tally later. GullySystem builds job-card, stock and dispatch software that sits beside Tally, working from its Bengaluru office.
Ambattur is one of the oldest and largest industrial estates in the south, and most of the units inside it are small. They machine, press, mould and assemble to somebody else’s drawing and somebody else’s delivery date.
The customer sends a schedule and expects traceability back. The unit keeps a job card on paper, a challan book for job work and a Tally company that the shop floor never opens.
Where the businesses are in Ambattur, and what they run on.
The machining and sheet-metal units
Job shops turning, cutting, pressing and welding to a customer’s drawing. The job card travels with the part and is read by whoever is standing at the machine.
Plastic moulding and rubber units
Moulding shops running several cavities and colours for appliance and vehicle makers. Cycle time, rejection and material use are noted per shift on a shop-floor sheet.
Electrical and electronics assembly
Panel, wiring harness and electronics assembly units supplying plants and contractors. Bills of material change with each customer revision and the store is told last.
MTH Road and the supplier trade
Steel, fastener, tool and consumable dealers supplying the estate on credit, delivering by tempo through the day.
Process and transport units
Powder coating, plating, packing and transport firms working between the units. Goods sent out for process work travel on a challan that often never comes back.
How Ambattur businesses pick and use software.
An Ambattur owner buys when a customer audit or a rejection turns paperwork into a real problem. He wants to see the job card screen working on the floor before he discusses anything else.
His accountant works in Tally and is not going to change. Anything new has to hand over invoices and stock movements cleanly and leave the books exactly where they are.
Supervisors read Tamil more comfortably than English, so floor screens and printed job cards carry Tamil labels. We agree those words with your supervisor during the build, on a screen-share from our Nagarbhavi office in Bengaluru.
Where Ambattur businesses lose time and money.
The schedule changes and the floor hears it late
Customers revise call-offs on a portal in the middle of the month and marketing passes it on a week later. A plan showing the revised quantity against what is already made stops the extra production.
Job work goes out and the challan balance is unknown
Parts leave for plating, heat treatment or coating and come back in lots. A challan-wise balance shows what is lying outside the unit and for how long.
Rejections are argued without evidence
When a lot comes back, the machine, operator and inspection behind it cannot be shown. Recording the inspection against the job card settles most of those visits.
Material shortage is discovered at the machine
Bar stock, sheet and bought-out items are checked when the job starts. Linking the bill of material to stock at order acceptance moves that discovery weeks earlier.
Dispatch and invoice are a day apart
Goods go out on a challan and the invoice is made later in Tally. Passing each dispatch straight into Tally sends the invoice out with the vehicle.

Can operators update a job card on the shop floor?
Yes, on a shared tablet or a phone kept at the machine. The screen is a few large buttons for start, stop, quantity and rejection, with Tamil labels wherever your supervisor wants them.
Will it give our customer’s audit what it asks for?
It keeps the records those audits are based on: job cards, inspections, material batches and dispatch details, traceable backwards from the invoice. We claim no certification on your behalf; the system holds what you have to show.
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.
