Frequently Asked Questions

Kamna is a production management app for CMT (Cut, Make, Trim) garment factories. It tracks every lot across your cutting, printing, stitching, and packing vendors. Fabric in, pieces out, cost per piece. Built by Cotton Basket, a CMT baby garment manufacturer in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu.

CMT garment factory owners who manage production through external job-work vendors. If you send cutting to one vendor, stitching to another, and printing to a third, Kamna tracks every lot across all of them. It is designed for the way Indian garment manufacturing actually works.

Go to kamna.app and tap Get started free. Enter your factory name, email, and phone number. You will receive a one-time verification code by email. Enter the code and your account is ready. No payment required for the Free plan.

Kamna is a Progressive Web App (PWA). It works in your phone's browser and can be installed to your home screen for a native app experience. It works offline and syncs when your connection returns. Native Android and iOS apps are coming soon.

A lot is a production order. It has a buyer, style, sizes, target selling price, and delivery date. You track it through stages (cutting, printing, stitching, packing) as work moves across your vendors. Each lot shows its pipeline status, cost per piece, fabric usage, and timeline.

Cutting entries with vendor, pieces out, fabric weight, and waste. Making stages (printing, stitching, washing, packing, or any custom stage) with pieces in, pieces out, rate, and cost. You can add as many making stages as your production process requires.

Kamna calculates fabric issued versus fabric consumed versus waste for each lot. The variance shows exactly how much fabric leaked. Reconciliation is per-lot and covers all fabric types used in that lot. Trims are tracked for inventory but do not go through reconciliation.

Yes. Kamna tracks trim and accessory inventory. You can log usage at each production stage. Stock levels update automatically after every entry. Trims are tracked for inventory management, not for reconciliation.

Kamna calculates real cost per piece from actual production data. It includes fabric cost, cutting charges, making charges at every stage, trim costs, packing charges, and any additional costs you log. This is not an estimate. It is the actual cost based on what your vendors charged and what your fabric consumed.

Kamna includes 10 reports available on all plans, including Free: pipeline status, overdue lots, delivery schedule, output summary, rejection tracking, cost trends, vendor summary, stock valuation, input rate trends, and audit trail. Reports are generated from your live production data.

No. All prices on the website are exclusive of GST. Goods and Services Tax at the applicable rate (currently 18%) is added to every payment on paid plans. The Free plan has no charges.

Intelligence is a set of AI features included in the Factory plan. It includes a daily briefing that shows rupees at stake across your lots, natural language Ask (ask any question about your production data in plain English), stuck lot alerts, fabric leak warnings, and low stock flags.

You can ask any question about your production data in plain language. For example: What is my cost per piece on lot CB-2697? Which vendor has the most pending pieces? How much fabric did I use last month? Ask reads your actual production data and answers with real numbers, not estimates.

Intelligence sends proactive alerts for stuck lots (work sitting at a vendor too long), fabric leaks (consumption variance above threshold), and low stock warnings (fabric or trim inventory running low). Alerts appear in your daily briefing.

No. Costs, rates, and margins are visible only to the owner. Staff log production data (pieces in, pieces out, fabric usage) but never see financial information. This separation is enforced at the server level, not just hidden in the interface.

Free: 1 user (owner only). Unit: 2 users (owner plus 1 staff). Factory: 4 users (owner plus 3 staff). Staff users can enter production data but cannot see costs, rates, or margins.

The owner sees everything: costs, rates, margins, reports, vendor summaries, and Intelligence features. Staff see production screens only: they can log cutting entries, making stages, fabric and trim usage, but all financial data is hidden. Staff can also delete their own entries and edit lot fields.
