    Short answer

    Manufacturers in Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Dahej and Jhagadia GIDC often run plants on spreadsheets, paper registers and WhatsApp groups. As an IT and software company based in Bharuch, SICI Technologies builds custom plant portals, dispatch and delivery systems, RFID and machine-data integrations, and WhatsApp alerts for these operations — on a fixed scope, with on-site visits when needed and source code owned by the client.

    What we see in GIDC plants

    The industrial estates around Bharuch are home to chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering and processing units of every size. The software story in many of them is similar: an ERP or Tally for accounts, and everything else — shift reports, batch records, dispatch registers, maintenance logs, visitor and gate passes — in spreadsheets, paper and WhatsApp groups.

    That works until it doesn't: a report takes half a day to compile, nobody knows which version of the sheet is current, and an audit means digging through registers.

    Software that fits how plants actually work

    • Plant operations portals: shift and batch entry, approvals, audit trails and live dashboards across multiple units.
    • Dispatch and delivery systems: orders, vehicle assignment, delivery proof and distributor reconciliation, with APIs other systems can call.
    • RFID and device integration: tracking materials, assets or people through gates and stations, feeding data straight into SQL Server.
    • WhatsApp alerts: approvals, shift summaries and exception alerts sent to managers on WhatsApp through the official Business API.
    • Mobile apps for field and floor staff in Flutter, working offline where networks are weak.

    Why a local IT company helps

    1. Site visits. Understanding a plant means walking the floor; we are a short drive from Ankleshwar, Dahej, Jhagadia and Panoli.
    2. Infrastructure fit. Many plants run Windows servers and SQL Server on site. We build to host there — including Node.js under IIS — rather than forcing a cloud move.
    3. Language. Floor staff interfaces can be in Gujarati or Hindi.
    4. Hardware experience. SICI started in electronics and embedded systems, so connecting software to scales, sensors and RFID readers is familiar ground.

    How a project runs

    1. Discovery visit and a written PRD describing the workflow as it really runs.
    2. Fixed-scope SOW with timeline and price, agreed before development starts.
    3. Database and API contract designed first, then screens.
    4. Delivery in reviewable increments, with user training on site.
    5. Handover of source code and documentation, plus an optional support retainer.

    SICI Technologies (Sonawala Integrated Circuit Industries Pvt. Ltd.) has been based in Bharuch since 2018 and has delivered more than 35 projects across retail, supply chain, dairy, IoT hardware and industry.
