Production runs through karigars. Your software should track it that way.

A jewellery manufacturer's inventory isn't a SKU count — it's metal weight in and out, purity checks, and pieces moving between karigars at different stages of the same job. CaratOS is built around that flow, not a generic manufacturing ERP with jewellery terms bolted on.

What a manufacturer actually needs to track

• Variant-level inventory — metal weight, purity, diamond and gemstone detail per variant, not a flat quantity count.
• Karigar job-work across a production queue — every piece assigned to a specific karigar, with a due date and product-level status as it moves through stages.
• GST-compliant invoicing with automatic CGST/SGST/IGST logic based on place of supply — built for how jewellery invoices actually work, not adapted from generic manufacturing billing.
• Live bullion rates feeding inventory valuation, so estimated value doesn't go stale between sales.

Job-work without losing track of who has what

When multiple pieces are in progress with different karigars at once, a register only tells you what's out — not what stage each piece is at. CaratOS's karigar job tracking holds due date, assigned karigar, and product-level status together, so a manufacturer can see the whole production queue at a glance instead of chasing updates piece by piece.

Selling what you make, without re-entering it

Manufacturers selling direct-to-consumer or through an existing online storefront can sync an existing Shopify catalogue instead of re-entering every design by hand — bringing production and retail sales into the same system.
