In a Surat dyeing or printing mill, most lots belong to someone else. A party sends grey takas, expects them back dyed or printed to an approved shade, and pays a process charge per metre. Between those two points the cloth passes through several stages, uses up dyes and chemicals, and loses some length. Textile processing mill software follows each lot through the mill, so you can tell a party where their goods are, what they will be billed, and what the lot really cost you to process.

For process houses in Pandesara, Sachin and beyond

It is built for dyeing, printing and finishing mills doing job work for traders, and for groups that also process their own cloth. Whether you run jet dyeing, jiggers, rotary or digital printing, the stages are set up to match your mill, in your order and with your names for them.

From grey receipt to dispatch

  • Grey receipt: takas received from each party with their challan number, quality, taka numbers and metres, checked against what the party says it sent.
  • Lot and batch programme: takas grouped into lots by party, quality and shade, batches planned per machine, and a programme card printed to travel with the lot.
  • Shade cards and approvals: lab dips, the shade the party approved and the recipe used, so a repeat order can be matched without guesswork.
  • Process stages: each lot's movement through the stages you run, for example scouring, dyeing or printing, washing, stenter and finishing, with who handled it and when, so delays show up early.
  • Dyes and chemicals: recipe-wise issue to each batch, stock in the chemical store, and consumption per lot and per metre.
  • Folding and packing: finished metres per taka after folding, shortage against grey metres, and bale or packing details for dispatch.
  • Job-work billing per metre: process charges by party and quality, extra charges for special finishes, and GST bills made from the delivery challan.

The numbers a mill owner asks for

Once lots, stages and consumption are recorded, the reports come with them: pending grey by party, lots stuck at a stage, shrinkage by quality, dye and chemical cost per metre against the rate you charge, and output per machine per day. These are the figures that tell you whether a party's rate is still worth taking.

Tally, phones and the mill floor

Accounts stay in Tally: bills and receipts export to it. On the floor, supervisors update stages and folding from a phone or a shared tablet, in Gujarati if the team prefers. Parties can get a login, or a WhatsApp message, showing their pending lots and dispatches.

Project, cost and timeline

We start by walking the mill with your production manager and accounts team, from the grey godown to the folding department. The first module, usually grey receipt, lot programme and delivery challans, typically goes live in 4–8 weeks, with weekly demos on a live preview link. Recipes, chemical stock and costing follow in phases. 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 launch includes a 30-day warranty.

The grey your parties send usually comes from looms; see weaving and powerloom software for that side. For value addition after processing, see embroidery job-work software. The textile software development in Surat hub covers orders and job work across the whole chain, and ERP software development in Surat covers ERP builds for other industries.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can it track shrinkage between grey and finished metres?
Yes. Grey metres are recorded at receipt and finished metres at folding, taka by taka, so shortage is shown per lot, per quality and per party.
Can we store dye recipes for each shade?
Yes. Each approved shade can carry its recipe, and when a repeat order comes in the recipe is pulled into the new batch, where your team can adjust it before issuing dyes and chemicals.
Can parties check the status of their lots?
Yes. Parties can get a limited login or WhatsApp updates showing their grey received, lots in process, dispatches and pending bills, and nothing about other parties.
Can it connect to our dyeing machines?
That depends on the machines and their controllers. Most mills begin with supervisors entering stage changes on a phone, and a machine connection is considered later where the equipment allows it.
Will it make GST bills and work with Tally?
Yes. Job-work bills per metre are made from delivery challans with GST, and bills and receipts export to Tally for your accountant.
How much does processing mill software cost?
Our listed plans start at ₹1.5 lakh for custom builds. After we see your process, you get a fixed quote for the first module and separate quotes for the phases that follow.
