This is the exact flow we demonstrate, and the same flow running daily at a live process house. Each step closes one of the failures above:
- Grey fabric inward with multi-fabric receipts
One inward receipt can carry several fabrics from the same customer challan, each with its own quality, quantity, and panna. Fabric names are free entry, so any quality a trader sends is recorded as-is, tagged to that customer, and traceable from the first minute. No more slip-on-a-bale identification.
- Dye recipes and batch cards
Recipes are stored per shade and quality. When a batch is created, the batch card carries the recipe, the customer, the grey lot it consumes, and the target shade. The dye master works from the card, not from memory, so a repeat order gets the same recipe as the last approved lot.
- Your stages, your board
The process-stage master is editable: define the stages your house actually runs, in your order, with your names. Those stages become the batch card steps, the production board columns, and the tracker your customers see. When your process changes, you edit the master; the software follows.
- Shade approval gated on Delta E
Each shade in the shade library carries a standard and a Delta E tolerance. At the approval stage the measured Delta E is recorded against the standard, and the batch clears the gate only within tolerance. Rejections surface at the machine, when a re-dye is cheap, not at the trader's godown, when it is expensive.
- Screen printing and design management
Designs are managed alongside orders, so the printing team knows exactly which design runs on which lot. No more printing the right fabric with the wrong design because two traders sent similar qualities in the same week.
- Design-to-machine scheduling by panna and throughput
Every machine is defined by the panna it can take (in inches) and its throughput. The scheduler matches waiting orders to machines that can actually run them, so wide-width lots stop queueing behind narrow machines and idle capacity becomes visible instead of invisible.
- Customer tracking: WhatsApp updates plus a public link
Every customer order gets a public tracking link, no login needed, showing the current stage. WhatsApp notifications go out as the lot moves. Traders check their phone instead of calling your office, and your staff get their day back.
- Completion to invoice, automatically
When a batch is marked completed, a draft proforma invoice is created from that customer's rate card. Monthly volume discount schemes on grey inward apply the agreed slab without anyone doing month-end arithmetic. You review, confirm, and raise the GST invoice. Nothing completed goes unbilled.
