Ledgers, hospital and bakery records for Kolkata’s wholesalers, jewellers and lenders.
Kolkata’s businesses include Burrabazar and Posta wholesalers, EM Bypass hospitals, Bowbazar jewellers, bakeries and small lenders, and their records sit in khatas, Tally, Excel and WhatsApp. GullySystem, based in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, builds ERP, dealer, hospital, bakery and loan software for them. History is carried across. Work is remote.
Burrabazar, Posta and Canning Street move textiles, dry fruits, spices, hardware and general goods to shops across eastern India and the northeast. Chandni Chowk sells electronics and computer parts. Bowbazar makes and sells gold jewellery, and College Street trades in books.
The EM Bypass has many private hospitals that treat patients from across the east and from Bangladesh, and Salt Lake Sector V and New Town hold IT offices. Leather units at Bantala and the Taratala industrial area add manufacturing.
The areas, estates and markets that matter in Kolkata.
How Kolkata businesses pick and use software.
Decisions in Kolkata’s older trading houses often involve the owner, his son, the head accountant and the CA. They usually want to see the system running on their own data first. Firms that adopt one tend to keep it for many years.
The city also has a large microfinance, NBFC and co-operative lending sector, and a long tradition of bakeries and caterers. Many use old desktop software or spreadsheets. Moving across depends on the history being carried over intact.
Where Kolkata businesses lose time and money.
Northeast buyers pay on uneven schedules
Burrabazar wholesalers give credit to shops in Assam, Bihar and Odisha, often to families who have bought for generations, and the ledger shows the balance. Follow-up by age of dues is not routine.
Gold issued to karigars is hard to reconcile
Bowbazar jewellers issue gold to karigars for each order, and without a clear record of issue, return and wastage the balance depends on trust. A weight register per karigar closes that gap.
Loan collections are entered late
Small lenders and co-operatives collect EMIs in the field and enter them later on a desktop. A missed instalment may be noticed only weeks afterwards.
Bakery production and returns do not line up
Bakeries with several outlets often plan production from habit, and unsold stock returns each evening. Sales and returns by item are not compared.

Can the software show Burrabazar-style party ledgers with ageing?
Yes. Each party’s bills, receipts and bilty details come from Tally or your billing system, and the balance is shown by age. Payment reminders can be sent on WhatsApp in wording you choose.
Can a Kolkata bakery with several outlets plan production from sales data?
Yes. GullySystem’s bakery software builds each day’s plan from confirmed orders and regular counter quantities. A sales and wastage report shows leftovers by outlet and item, so production can be adjusted for items that keep coming back.
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.
