Software for Hyderabad's Glass Bangle Makers
Hyderabad's glass bangles are made in furnaces, workshops and family homes. We build the batch, stock and order tools that tie that scattered craft together.
The trade, and what it needs from software
Hyderabad in Sindh is famous for its glass bangles, a craft carried out across furnaces, small factories and homes in the older neighbourhoods. Glass is melted and drawn into rings, the ends are joined, and the bangles are then cut, decorated, coloured and sorted into sets. Much of the finishing is done by hand by women and families working on a per-piece basis.
Sales follow the festival and wedding calendar, with traders buying large lots before Eid and the wedding season. That makes it vital to know what designs are in stock and what is being finished, yet most owners rely on memory and loose slips. DevKey Technologies works remotely with Hyderabad bangle businesses to build simple batch, stock and order records, and online catalogues that reach buyers beyond the bazaar.
How the work flows in Hyderabad
Furnace work and ring drawing
Glass is melted and drawn into coils, then cut into rings. Colour batches are planned in advance because changing a furnace's colour wastes time and material.
Home-based joining and decoration
Rings are given to households for joining, painting and decorating, paid by the piece. Collecting, counting and paying each household is a daily routine for the owner.
Trader sales around festivals
Wholesalers and shop owners buy sets by colour and design, often ahead of Eid or the wedding season, and expect reliable delivery of matched lots.
Where things go wrong today
Piece-rate counts in notebooks
Quantities given to and returned from home workers are written by hand, so disputes over counts and payments recur.
Breakage that hides in the process
Glass breaks at every stage, yet losses are not recorded by stage, so owners cannot tell where the greatest waste occurs.
Designs that cannot be shown remotely
Buyers from other cities must visit or settle for a few phone photographs, which holds back orders from traders who cannot travel.
Festival rush without a plan
Demand peaks suddenly, and without a clear view of stock and capacity, owners either turn orders down or promise what they cannot deliver.
Software that fixes it
Piece-work issue and return records
Production planning software records bangles issued to and received from each household, computes pay due, and shows breakage at each stage.
Production Planning Software DevelopmentStock by colour and design
Inventory software keeps finished sets by colour, size and design, so a trader's order can be matched quickly to what is on the shelf.
Inventory Management Software DevelopmentA trade ordering catalogue
A wholesale ordering portal shows designs and available sizes and lets shopkeepers place festival orders from their own city.
Wholesale Ordering Portal DevelopmentFestival demand planning
Demand forecasting looks at past festival orders and suggests which colours and sizes to prepare, so the furnace schedule follows demand.
Demand Forecasting SolutionsCommon questions, answered
Can the system handle payments to many home workers?
Yes. Each household has an account that records what they received and returned and what is owed at the agreed rate. Statements can be printed or shared on WhatsApp, which keeps weekly payments clear and quick.
Our workers do not use computers. Who enters the data?
Your own staff or a family member enters counts when goods are issued and returned. Home workers need no device. We build quick-entry screens that suit a counter at the workshop door.
Can traders from other cities order without visiting Hyderabad?
Yes. A catalogue shows current designs, colours and sizes, and a trade login supports orders and repeat purchases. Traders still judge quality on arrival, so clear photos and sample policies are part of the setup.
Is glass breakage something software can reduce?
It cannot stop breakage itself, but it shows where it happens, by stage, worker group or colour batch. That evidence lets you change handling or packing where it matters most, rather than guessing.
