Orders, trips and leaf records for Siliguri’s distributors, transporters and tea gardens.

Siliguri’s distributors on Sevoke Road and in the Regulated Market, corridor transporters, tea gardens and Hill Cart Road hotels keep orders, trips and bookings in Tally, notebooks and WhatsApp. GullySystem, based in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, builds distribution, fleet, tea garden and hotel software for them. Work is remote.

At a glance

Siliguri is where the roads and the railway to Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bhutan and the northeast meet. Distributors in the Regulated Market, Bidhan Market and along Sevoke Road supply shops across north Bengal and the hills, and transporters run goods through the corridor every day.

Tea gardens in the Terai and the Dooars sell through the Siliguri auction and to direct buyers. The region also trades timber and plywood. Hotels on Hill Cart Road and near New Jalpaiguri station serve travellers heading to the hills.

Around Siliguri

The areas, estates and markets that matter in Siliguri.

The Regulated Market and Sevoke Road

FMCG, grocery and hardware distributors supply north Bengal, Sikkim and the hills, and salesman orders, beat plans and retailer credit are handled by phone and WhatsApp. The office copies them into Tally afterwards.

Bidhan Market and Hong Kong Market

Clothing, electronics and imported goods are sold here, both retail and wholesale. Billing is fast. Stock and supplier dues are tracked less closely.

The transport and logistics yards

Transporters and clearing agents move goods to Sikkim, Bhutan and the northeast, and trip records, permits and delivery proof arrive on paper and often late. Billing waits for them.

The Terai and Dooars tea gardens

Tea gardens and bought-leaf factories sell through the auction and direct, and leaf intake, worker attendance and made tea stock are kept in registers. Entries are made by weight.

Hill Cart Road and NJP

Hotels, travel agencies and tour operators serve visitors bound for Darjeeling, Sikkim and the Dooars. Room rates change with the season, and bookings come from OTAs, agents and phone calls.

How software gets chosen

How Siliguri businesses pick and use software.

Siliguri’s business community includes Marwari, Bengali, Bihari and Nepali-speaking families, so software often needs to work in more than one language. Vendors are commonly found through trade associations or relatives in Kolkata.

Distributors are often the first to adopt new tools, because their salesmen already use smartphones and WhatsApp. The usual request is for those orders to reach Tally without being typed again. The first meeting rarely goes beyond that.

Where it breaks

Where Siliguri businesses lose time and money.

Hill salesmen send orders as voice notes

Salesmen covering Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim call the office or send a voice note from inside the shop, and the office types the order in. An item can be missed, and the retailer waits for the next trip.

Proof of delivery returns late

Trucks to the northeast and Bhutan deliver far from the office, and signed challans return late. Billing and collection wait for them.

Leaf intake and payment are in separate books

Bought-leaf factories take green leaf from many small growers each day, and weighments and payments are kept in two books. Payment day brings disagreements over the totals.

Common questions

Questions Siliguri owners ask before they call.

Can our salesmen in Sikkim and the hills take orders on an app that syncs later?

Yes. The app works offline in shops with no signal and sends orders when it reconnects. They appear on the dispatch screen and in Tally without being typed again.

Can a tea factory near Siliguri track green leaf from small growers?

Yes. Each weighment is recorded against the grower with the rate, and payment is calculated from that record. Growers can receive a WhatsApp slip for every delivery. Collection points are reviewed before setup begins.

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.
