An embroidery unit in Surat runs on stitch counts. A party sends fabric with a design, the design goes on a machine, and the bill depends on how many stitches went into how many pieces. When job cards are on paper and challans sit in a register, it is easy to lose track of which lot is on which machine, whose goods are still lying in the unit, and what each operator produced last week. Embroidery job work software follows every job from the fabric coming in to the bill going out.

Made for job-work units and in-house machines

It suits units running multi-head computerised embroidery machines on job work for traders and manufacturers, and textile firms that run their own machines alongside outside job workers. If your machines also do sequins or cording work, those can be set up as separate job types with their own rates.

What it tracks

  • Inward challans: fabric received from each party with their challan number, design, colour, pieces or metres, and any shortage noted at receipt.
  • Job cards per design: design number, stitch count, number of heads, thread colours, a photo of the approved sample and the design file (for example a DST file), so operators run the right version.
  • Machine-wise production: pieces and stitches completed per machine per shift, with downtime, so you can see which machines are earning and which are standing idle.
  • Outward challans: finished pieces returned to the party against their inward challan, with balance pieces, rejections and damages shown clearly.
  • Job-work bills: bills at your rate per thousand stitches, per piece or per metre, whichever you quote that party, with GST, made from the outward challans so nothing delivered goes unbilled.
  • Worker wages: operator and helper wages by shift, by production or as a fixed salary, with advances deducted and a weekly or monthly wage sheet.
  • Thread and consumables: thread cones, backing and sequins issued to machines, so consumption per job is visible.

Fewer "is my lot ready?" calls

Parties ring through the day to ask about their goods. A party login, or an automatic WhatsApp message when a lot is dispatched, answers that without a call. Parties can also see their pending pieces and unpaid bills. If you pass some work on to other units, the same challan flow tracks your own outside job workers.

When a ready tool is enough

If you run two or three machines for a handful of regular parties, a register and an accounting tool such as Tally or Vyapar may be all you need. Custom software earns its cost once you run several machines and many parties, and the paperwork starts to delay billing and wages.

How we build it, and what it costs

We start at your unit: how you price a design, how the job card moves, how shifts and wages are recorded. The first version usually covers challans, job cards and billing, and goes live in 4–8 weeks with weekly demos on a live preview link. Machine-wise production and wages come next, entered by the supervisor on a phone screen, or through a mobile app if your team prefers one. Our listed plans start at ₹1.5 lakh for custom builds; you get a fixed quote for your scope. You own the code and the data, and every launch has a 30-day warranty.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can it bill per thousand stitches?
Yes. Each party can have its own rate per thousand stitches, per piece or per metre, and the bill takes the stitch count from the job card and the pieces from the outward challan.
Can it read the stitch count from the design file?
Often, yes. Common machine formats such as DST store the stitch count, which can be read when the file is uploaded to the job card. For other formats the count is entered once on the job card.
Can it connect directly to our embroidery machines?
It depends on the machine model and controller. Most units start with the supervisor entering production per machine per shift on a phone, which takes a minute, and we look at a direct connection later if your machines support it.
Can it calculate operator wages?
Yes. Wages can be calculated by shift, by production or as a fixed salary, with advances and deductions, and printed or shared as a wage sheet.
Can the screens be in Gujarati?
Yes. Supervisors and staff can use Gujarati or Hindi screens while bills and party statements stay in English, or any mix you choose.
How long does it take to get started?
A first version with challans, job cards and billing usually goes live in 4–8 weeks. Production and wages are added after your team is comfortable with the first part.
