Website & software · Surathkal, Dakshina Kannada
Websites and job software for Surathkal's engineering suppliers, fabricators, contractors and the businesses around NITK. Surathkal is on the highway between our Udupi studio and Mangaluru, so we visit your workshop.
In short
Yes. Whirl Designs is a web and software studio based in Udupi, on the same highway as Surathkal, and we visit Surathkal businesses in person. We build specification-led websites for engineering suppliers and fabricators, job-card and material software for contractors, and simple sites for the cafés, hostels and student services around NITK. Screens and training can be in Kannada or English.
Two Surathkal audiences
Surathkal holds two markets with little in common. The industrial side, from Baikampady up to the refinery and along the Panambur road, sells to procurement teams and engineers who read a supplier's website closely before they ever call. The campus side sells to students who arrive and leave every year. Each needs a different kind of website, and some need software more than a website.
Needs: Specs, data sheets and certificates a buyer can check
Needs: Job cards, material issue and true job figures
Needs: A clean record of every job for the client's audit
Needs: Menus, timings and offers students see on their phones
Most industrial suppliers here need a detailed website and a findable listing far more than social media. We will say so if that is you.
What we build
Pick by the job in front of you. An industrial supplier and a campus café need very different things.
Our work
We have not yet worked for a company in Surathkal. The nearest proof we can show is in the same kind of work: records for contractors and manufacturers who track material, jobs and labour.
Rebar is our own construction ERP for reinforcement-steel contractors. It keeps bar bending schedules, site-wise consumption, sub-contractor billing with retention, and weekly labour runs, and produces PF ECR, ESI and Form 24Q output. Facet, another of our products, tracks each lot from rough stone to finished piece and accounts for work issued to karigars and returned with wastage. Both follow the issue, return and wastage pattern a fabrication shop runs on.

How it works
Engineers want detail early, so our process puts the paperwork on the table first.
We come to your unit in Surathkal or Baikampady and look at the real job cards, registers, drawings and data sheets. That tells us more than any form could.
You get a plain document listing the pages or screens, the data each one holds, what is left out, and a time estimate for each stage. Your engineers can mark it up.
We release in stages. A supervisor tries the job-card screen at the bench, and change requests come to us on WhatsApp, in Kannada or English.
We move your data, train the people who will use it, and give you the code, documents and passwords in your company's name.
After launch we fix problems the same working day and add features as your work changes. If you hire an in-house developer later, we help them take over.
Questions
Yes. That kind of site leads with capability, not slogans: what you make, the sizes and grades, the machines you run and the certificates you hold, all in text that a search engine and a buyer can both read. Data sheets download as files your staff can replace, and each enquiry reaches the person who can answer it.
We have not worked with NITK or its startups yet, but early technical products are work we can do. We would scope a first version that ships, with logins, roles and data handled properly from the start, and tell you honestly what can wait until you have users.
Yes. We build a system where each job holds its drawing, material issued, hours and measurements, and two people can update it at once. Supervisors use it on a phone at the bench while the office sees the same record. When the job closes, its figures come from what was actually used, not from memory.
Yes. We write documented code in common tools, mostly PHP and MariaDB, and hand over the source, database and hosting access in your company's name. Technical firms often want to take a system in-house later, and we plan for that from the first week.
Yes. A client portal shows each purchase team only its own jobs: stage, inspection results, dispatch details and documents. It saves your office the daily calls asking where an order stands. Access can be limited by person and by action, the way our Facet ERP controls who can do what.
Usually not much. Suppliers who sell to procurement departments gain more from a detailed website, a complete Google Business Profile and a LinkedIn company page. Social media earns its place for the cafés, hostels and shops that serve students, where the audience is large and on phones all day.
