The stone
“Where is that block?”
A buyer on the phone, a worker walking the rows, and a sale cooling by the minute. A yard holds thousands of near-identical blocks — and until each one has an identity, finding one is a search party.
The mechanism: an identity on every stone
The moment a block enters your yard — received against a purchase order, or tagged at the gate — it is minted with a QR code. That code is its identity for life: what it is, what it cost, how old it is, where it sits, and everything that ever happens to it.
From then on, nobody walks the rows hoping. Type three letters — even misspelled — and the block surfaces. Point a camera at the label and its whole record opens. The chalk mark and the memory are retired with honor.
The math most yards never see
Cutting is where yards silently leak money. A block goes into the gangsaw; slabs come out; and the material lost between the two never enters anyone’s price. ShilaTeq computes it on every cut:
recovery % = slab area out ÷ block area consumed
wastage = consumed − out
true slab cost/sqft = block cost ÷ slab area out
The wastage prices itself into the surviving slabs — so your margin is real, not a guess wearing a number. And whatever stone remains becomes a new, instantly sellable remnant block. Nothing is lost; nothing is fictional.
Try the math
Enter consumed and produced areas to see recovery, wastage, and the true cost of the surviving slabs.

“Who will tag my old stock?”
New stock tags itself — receiving a purchase order fans every line out into QR-coded, costed blocks in one tap. For the stone already in your yard, onboarding includes help tagging your first fifty blocks, and the 3-stage tagging wizard takes under a minute per block once your team finds its rhythm.
Everything this covers
| Capability | What it does for the yard |
|---|---|
| QR identity at intake | Every block minted with a permanent code the moment it arrives — by PO receive or the tagging wizard. |
| Typo-tolerant search | “Marbel” finds marble; block codes match exactly, so KSH-B0002 can never be mistaken for KSH-B0001. |
| Camera scanning | Point any phone at a label to open the block's full record. A safe public card for anyone else who scans. |
| Aging watch | Fresh → amber → red buckets (your thresholds; defaults 90/180 days) with carrying-cost estimates. |
| The partial-cut engine | Consumed area in, slabs out: recovery %, wastage, and an instantly sellable remnant block. |
| Recovery-adjusted cost | Wastage raises the surviving slabs' unit cost automatically. Unknown cost shows N/A — never a fake margin. |
| Immutable cut ledger | Every cut writes a permanent record. Yield history can never be quietly rewritten. |
| Per-block lifetime P&L | What each block cost, held, and earned — the trader's question, answered per stone. |
| Printable QR labels | 80×110 mm labels from any browser. The label on the stone is the system in the yard. |
| Clean exports | Stock registers to CSV/Excel any time — hardened so ₹ and formulas survive the accountant's spreadsheet. |
The honest part
Day-to-day tagging is an admin action today.
A Hindi worker-tagging mode exists in the product but its route is currently admin-only — workers' write paths are cutting, tasks, and deliveries.
