Software for Wazirabad's Cutlery Manufacturers
Wazirabad's cutlery makers forge, grind and polish for buyers at home and abroad. We build the job tracking and catalogue tools that make small shops competitive.
The trade, and what it needs from software
Wazirabad has been associated with knives, blades and steel utensils for generations, and much of the work happens in small workshops that specialise in one stage of production. Blanks are cut or forged, ground, hardened, polished and fitted with handles, with products moving between shops along the way. Finished cutlery is sold to wholesalers, retailers and increasingly to buyers overseas.
This division of labour keeps costs low but makes progress hard to see. A buyer abroad wants to know when a consignment will be ready, a workshop owner wants to know who still holds his blanks, and a trader wants a catalogue that shows every pattern clearly. DevKey Technologies works remotely with Wazirabad makers to build tracking and presentation tools around exactly that way of working.
How the work flows in Wazirabad
Staged work across small workshops
Steel is shaped in one place, ground and sharpened in another and polished or assembled in a third. Pieces travel between workshops on carts and are usually counted by hand.
Patterns, sizes and finishes
Each design comes in many patterns and finishes, and a buyer's order may combine several of them. Keeping them straight through production is a constant task.
Wholesale and export orders
Buyers order by pattern and quantity, and export customers add requirements for packing, labelling and documents that the workshop must follow exactly.
Where things go wrong today
Work-in-progress that disappears
When goods move between shops without a proper record, owners cannot say how much steel is out, where it is or when it should return.
Catalogues that sit in a drawer
Without a clean digital catalogue, new buyers cannot see the range, and existing ones phone to ask about patterns and finishes.
Export paperwork done in a rush
Packing lists, labels and invoices prepared at the last minute lead to errors that hold up shipments and annoy overseas buyers.
Uneven finish between batches
Buyers expect the same finish on a repeat order, but no record links a batch to the grinder, polisher or settings used.
Software that fixes it
Job tracking between workshops
Production planning software logs each batch as it is issued to a workshop and returned, with counts at both ends, so no stage becomes a black hole.

Our work goes through several small shops. Do they all need the software?
No. Your own staff record what is issued to and received from each workshop at your premises. The shops can stay as they are, while you gain a complete record of where every batch is.
Can a foreign buyer browse our patterns online?
Yes. The catalogue shows each pattern with photographs, sizes and finish options, plus an enquiry form. We write it for importers, so they can tell exactly what you make without a long exchange of messages.
Does the software help with export documentation?
It organises the information for each order and generates packing lists and invoices from it. Customs filings and certifications remain governed by the relevant authorities and your agent, which we do not replace.
We are a family business with few staff. Is this too much?
We keep the first version small, usually a catalogue and a simple batch register. Because we work remotely and in stages, you can start light and add export or stock features when you are ready.
