Subcontracting embroidery, printing, and specialized washes exposes garment makers to piece loss, shade mix-ups, and vendor disputes. Werkora tracks job work dispatches by lot, issues Rule 55 delivery challans with lot references, and mandates physical piece counts upon return, eliminating subcontractor shrinkage.
When a factory sends 2,000 cut front panels to an embroidery subcontractor and receives back 1,940 finished panels, the 60 missing pieces ruin order completion ratios. If the loss is discovered weeks later at the packing table, replacing those panels requires re-dyeing fabric lots to match color shades.
Werkora binds every job work movement to an explicit operation route. Dispatched panels carry identification tags indicating bundle identity, shade lot, and expected return date, accompanied by a system-generated Rule 55 challan.
When subcontractor shipments return, receiving staff record inward quantities against the original challan. The system verifies received good quantities, logs rejects by defect category, and blocks the vendor's service invoice until discrepancies are formally authorized.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Subcontractors must return defective panels with the lot; Werkora logs rejected panels as rework or scrap, deducting processing fees from the vendor invoice.
Yes. All outward delivery challans and inward receipts maintain clear movement logs and vendor balances to support statutory compliance.
