Morning
Molding begins

Week end

What goes wrong today
The problems it takes away
A peshgi ledger kept informally
An advance given to a pathera and recovered from their piece-rate earnings is often tracked in an opaque, paper-based way.
Piece-rate pay, worked out by hand
Paying by the 1,000 bricks molded, then netting off an advance, is easy to get wrong without a running ledger.
A firing cycle's real cost is a guess
Coal issued against bricks fired, and the grade mix that comes out, isn't usually tracked cycle by cycle.
A season with a hard stop
Monsoon months bring molding and firing to a near-halt, and a calendar rarely reflects that.
What it does
Everything a brick kiln runs on
Parts marked Coming soon are on the way; founding shops get them first, at no extra charge.
A clear peshgi ledger, per worker
Coming soonPlanned: every pathera's advance, piece-rate earning and running balance in one auditable place, reusing the existing staff-advance and loan record.
A firing cycle tracked start to finish
Coming soonPlanned: coal issued and bricks fired, by grade, as one process-costed batch.
A builder or dealer's khata
AvailableA contractor or dealer buys on account or against an advance; open invoices and ageing sit behind every balance.
Coal bought against a purchase order
AvailableRaise a purchase order for coal and receive it into stock, the same flow as any other supplier.
Piece-rate pay for patheras
Coming soonPlanned: pay by the 1,000 bricks molded, net of any peshgi recovery, on top of the existing monthly payroll for staff.
Real books behind every peshgi and every sale
AvailableEvery advance, recovery and brick sale is a full double-entry journal entry, never a silent edit of a paper register.

Straight answers
Brick kilns ask
Can it keep an honest peshgi ledger for my patheras?
That's planned: an advance, a piece-rate earning and a running balance per worker, never silently written off.
Does it handle piece-rate pay, not just a monthly wage?
Planned: pay by the 1,000 bricks molded, reusing the existing staff-advance and loan record rather than a new ledger type.
Can I track a firing cycle's real cost?
That's planned too: coal issued against bricks fired, by grade, as one costed batch.
Can a builder buy on credit?
Yes. A contractor or dealer's running balance is an ordinary khata, with open invoices, receipts and ageing behind it.
Does it keep working if the internet drops?
Planned: a small on-site relay hub is meant to keep selling through an internet outage; a kiln's own office is usually a single wired PC, so this matters less here than at a counter business.
