Software for Gujranwala's Electric Fan Manufacturers
Gujranwala's fan makers race each summer to fill dealer orders. We build the production, parts and dealer software that keeps the assembly line fed.
The trade, and what it needs from software
Gujranwala is one of Pakistan's best-known centres for electric fans. Factories here wind motors, press and finish bodies, assemble ceiling and pedestal fans and ship them to dealers across the country. Demand is strongly seasonal, with orders swelling before the hot months, so production planning has to anticipate a surge that arrives all at once.
A fan is built from many parts, including copper wire, laminations, blades, capacitors, switches and packaging, and a shortage of one small item can stall a whole batch. Dealers in other cities also want quick delivery and clear account statements. DevKey Technologies builds software remotely for Gujranwala manufacturers that connects parts, production and dealers in one system.
How the work flows in Gujranwala
Winding, machining and assembly
Motor windings are produced, blades and bodies are finished and the components are brought together on assembly lines. Each stage feeds the next, so a hold-up in winding quickly stops assembly.
Component buying and stores
Raw materials and bought-in parts are purchased from many suppliers. Stores must issue the right quantity to each line and keep enough in reserve for the pre-summer rush.
Dealer dispatch across the country
Finished fans are packed and sent to dealers and wholesalers, usually on credit. Dispatch has to be matched to dealer orders and transport availability.
Where things go wrong today
Part shortages that stop the line
When stores records are manual, a lack of one small component only surfaces when the line is already waiting, and rushing a replacement costs time and money.
Planning for a seasonal spike
Factories must decide how many fans to build months before demand peaks, and guessing wrong leaves either unsold stock or unmet orders.
Dealer accounts and slow collections
Credit is extended to dealers in many cities. Statements, reminders and aged balances are hard to maintain by hand.
Quality problems found too late
Defects from winding or assembly often appear only after a fan reaches a dealer, and tracing them back to a batch or operator is slow.
Software that fixes it
Manufacturing ERP for the whole line
A manufacturing ERP links purchasing, stores, production and dispatch, so material requirements are known before a batch begins and finished goods are counted automatically.
Manufacturing ERP DevelopmentA dealer ordering portal
A wholesale ordering portal lets dealers place orders, view their account and track deliveries without calling, which frees your sales staff for real selling.
Wholesale Ordering Portal DevelopmentBatch-level quality records
Quality management software records checks at winding, assembly and final testing against a batch, making it much easier to find the source of a recurring fault.
Quality Management Software DevelopmentForecasts built on past seasons
Demand forecasting reads your own order history and calendar to suggest production volumes for the coming season, giving planners something firmer than instinct.
Demand Forecasting SolutionsCommon questions, answered
Do you understand how a fan factory actually works?
We start by learning your lines, parts lists and dealer practices through detailed calls and screen sharing, then build around them. We do not hand you a generic template and expect you to reorganise your factory around it.
Can our dealers order through their phones?
Yes. The dealer portal is designed for mobile screens, so a shopkeeper can check an account, see available models and place an order from a phone. We can add WhatsApp notifications when an order is dispatched.
We keep a lot of small parts. Can stores be managed properly?
Yes. Each part gets a code, reorder level and location, and issues to production are recorded against a batch. That gives you early warning of shortages and a clear view of what each fan model consumes.
Can this connect to our existing accounts software?
Frequently. We can integrate with your current accounting package or replace it if it has become limiting. We review what you use first, then recommend the simplest route that avoids double entry.
