Raw material stock
Sole, upper (leather, rexine, fabric), insole, lining, adhesive, thread, eyelets and boxes: purchase, issue, balance and low-stock.
Footwear manufacturing (karkhana) software
For the small factory that makes its own pairs: what material is in hand, what each pair costs, where every batch stands, and what each karigar has earned.
BOM and cost per pair
Write the bill of materials of an article once, with consumption by size group — bigger sizes eat more sole and upper. Padam adds labour and overhead to give the cost of a pair, then compares the estimate with what the batch really took.
- Material + labour + overhead per pair
- Estimated versus actual cost
- Wastage shown per batch
Production order in a size grid
Plan a batch the way you think of it — quantities across the sizes — and move it through cutting, upper stitching, lasting, finishing and packing. Finished pairs enter stock by size at their real cost; rejected pairs go to seconds.
- Five stages, pairs counted at each
- Finished pairs into stock by size
- Rejected and seconds pairs kept apart
Piece-rate karigar ledger
Record pairs × rate for each process, note advances as you give them, and settle every week. Each karigar gets a statement you can share on WhatsApp.
- Rate per process
- Advances and weekly settlement
- Karigar wages report
Material, job work and reports
Job work
Issue material or uppers to a karigar or an outside unit, receive pairs back, and see the balance lying outside.

Sell what you make
The same account bills your pairs at the retail counter or by set to parties in wholesale.
Karkhana questions
Is this a full ERP?
No. It is built for a small footwear unit: material, BOM, production by stage, job work, karigar ledger and costing. It does not do machine planning or payroll with PF and ESI.
Can I track uppers sent out for stitching?
Yes. Job work records what you issued to a karigar or an outside unit, the pairs received back and the balance still outside.
Which plan has karkhana?
Karkhana is part of the Business plan. See pricing.
