Why a Varanasi software company at SortString's scale is unusual
Varanasi is one of India's oldest cities and one of its most economically active for SME and traditional industries — silk, brassware, food processing, agri-inputs, education, tourism. What it has historically lacked is software engineering capability operating at production-platform scale.
Sort String Solutions LLP was founded in Varanasi in 2014 with the specific bet that production-scale software engineering for the Indian distribution economy could be built from this city, not from Bengaluru or Gurugram. Twelve years later, the bet has paid off. We run SalesPort — a distribution management platform — in production at 45 client companies across India and Nepal, processing 12 Lakh daily transactions and ₹8,572 Crore of annual GMV. The architecture, code, and operational discipline that runs that scale was built and is maintained from N 1/64-23, Nagwa, Lanka, Varanasi.
What we ship from Varanasi
SalesPort platform engineering. Our flagship distribution management product. 45 deployments. 9,089 Django models in production. 132+ production Flutter app builds. The engineering team that builds and maintains SalesPort is the same team that delivers your custom engagement.
Custom software development. Distribution platforms, custom ERPs, workflow systems, dashboards, internal tooling. Tech stack: Django + Python + Flutter + Next.js + PostgreSQL/MySQL + AWS Mumbai. Per-client database isolation by default. DPDP-compliant by architecture.
Mobile app development. Flutter apps with offline-first sync, GPS workflows, hardware integration (milk analysers, Bluetooth printers, barcode scanners). Battery-optimised for 10-hour field shifts. 132+ production apps; 2.3 Lakh daily active users.
Website development. Next.js / React websites with schema markup, Lighthouse 90+ performance, GA4 + Search Console integrated. SEO is built in, not bolted on. We will deliver a site that ranks, not a brochure that looks pretty.
Local SEO + Google Business Profile optimisation. Same framework that scored our own GBP at 4.9 stars across 39 verified reviews — local schema, NAP citation cleanup, review systems, content marketing. Useful for Varanasi service businesses (clinics, salons, retailers, restaurants, hotels) wanting local-pack visibility.
IT consulting. Vendor evaluation, architecture review, DPDP compliance, fractional CTO. We tell you when to buy and when to build — and recommend competitors if our own product is wrong for you.

Why Varanasi-based businesses choose us over Bengaluru / Gurugram vendors
Same-city accessibility. When something breaks at 8 PM, our team is in Varanasi, not 1,500 km away. Same-city presence changes how problems get solved.
Pricing that matches Indian margins. Fixed-AMC pricing for SaaS engagements, fixed-scope pricing for custom builds. No per-user fees. No SaaS lock-in. No "growth-tier" upsells once the core platform is live.
Operational depth in regional industries. We have built for dairy, FMCG, spices, agri, government, education. Varanasi-region businesses in these sectors get vendor experience that matches their specific operational reality.
Continuity. We have been operating from Varanasi since 2014. Our oldest clients are still our clients. Twelve-year operating histories are unusual in Indian software; we treat them as a feature.
