Sharma Gold in Mumbai was a jewellery manufacturer working with karigar networks for casting, setting, polishing and finishing. The owner managed this through a notebook — who had which job, what stage it was at, what metal weight had been given out and was expected back.
What actually causes this — and what fixes it
"metal wastage jewellery — the signal that a system is missing."
Jewellery manufacturing has one of the most complex vendor management challenges in Indian industry. Metal is given out to karigars by weight. If it doesn't come back in the expected quantity, the loss is direct and financial. Without a tracking system, accountability is impossible.
Clicarity allowed Sharma Gold to assign jobs to karigars with weights logged digitally, stages tracked, and return quantities recorded. Metal reconciliation — which had previously been a monthly anxiety — became a daily figure. Unexplained metal losses dropped by 40% in the first quarter.
