AI for Jewellery · India
Software built for the way jewellery workshops actually run.
Zaveri Bazaar runs on WhatsApp threads, handwritten job cards, and gut-feel metal accounting, not because owners don't want better, but because generic software was never built for karigar-based production. AurumOS is. Gold-loss analytics, karigar management, hallmarking compliance, and B2B ordering, in one AI-native platform.

Why Sitio Labs
Built for this industry's realities.
We built AurumOS for this exact problem
Not a generic ERP relabeled for jewellery. AurumOS was designed from the ground up for karigar-based, piece-rate production, because that's how Indian jewellery manufacturing actually runs.
We understand Zaveri Bazaar, not just "manufacturing"
Metal accounting, karigar trust, and hallmarking pressure are specific to this trade. Depth in one market is what makes the software adoptable across Rajkot, Coimbatore, and Hyderabad.
Production-grade from day one
AurumOS runs in real workshops today, tracking real gold, for real karigars. Not a dashboard demo built for a sales call.

Fair warning
Who this isn't for.
- You want a generic ERP module relabeled for jewellery — we build for karigar-based piece-rate production specifically.
- You're not tracking metal at the job-card level and aren't willing to start — loss analytics needs that granularity to work.
- You're looking for hallmarking registration services themselves — we build the software that keeps your records audit-ready, we're not a BIS hallmarking agency.
- You need a free or near-free tool — this is production software scoped to your workshop, priced accordingly.
Questions
Honest answers.
Do you work with small, family-run workshops, or only large manufacturers?
Both. AurumOS was built around karigar-based production, which describes most Indian jewellery workshops regardless of size. We've built for operations from a handful of karigars up to multi-branch manufacturers.
How does gold loss analytics actually work?
Every gram of metal issued to a karigar and returned is logged at the job-card level. The system benchmarks normal loss ranges by job type and flags outliers automatically, surfacing exactly where and why loss is happening.
Can this handle hallmarking (BIS) compliance?
Yes. We build hallmarking and HUID record-keeping into the core workflow, so every job card has audit-ready documentation rather than a separate compliance scramble.
Do we need to replace our WhatsApp and paper workflow overnight?
No. AurumOS is designed to connect to your existing WhatsApp-based workflow during the transition, with no hard cutover on day one.
What does this cost?
It depends on scope, but our AI Automation service starts from $6,000, and a full custom AI Product Development build starts from $7,500. We scope and quote before any build begins.
How is this different from a generic jewellery ERP?
Generic ERPs are built for standard manufacturing, batch production, fixed BOMs, not karigar-based piece-rate work with per-gram metal accountability. AurumOS was built around that specific production model from the first commit.
Let's talk about your build.
You don't need to know what tech you need. You just need to know the problem. We'll map it, scope it, and tell you honestly whether we're the right builders for it.
