PlinthosLab Technologies is an enterprise software company based in Pune, India. We build the products that sit at the core of complex operations, beginning with CASK, our platform for automotive dealer workshop and aftersales. Every product we ship is designed for performance, resilience and sustainability from the very first release.
Our vision
Our vision is to build enterprise products that organisations can rely on for decades: products with a robust core that are resilient, intelligent and secure by design, and that deliver high performance at scale without a high cost of running. We believe that software which lasts must be sustainable in three ways: in its engineering, in the way it meets regulation, and in its effect on the environment. Each of these is a discipline that can be seen in our code, in our architecture decisions and in the cost of running our products.
Technical
We record every significant architecture decision and enforce it with automated tests that run on every change, so the design cannot drift without anyone noticing. We maintain one product with no customer-specific versions, and differences between brands and countries are handled through configuration. As a result, every customer runs the same core and upgrades remain straightforward throughout the life of the system. We also build on a mainstream technology stack that any capable engineering team can maintain.
Regulatory
Each country's tax and compliance rules are held in a dedicated country pack, and every rule records its legal source, so an auditor can trace any figure on an invoice back to the regulation behind it. Controls are part of the design rather than an addition: each dealer's data is isolated at the database level, access is governed through a single role model, and support access is read-only, audited and revocable. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, remains in the customer's own cloud, and is handled in line with India's DPDP Act and the GDPR.
Environmental
A single efficient application serves every module, rather than a large set of services consuming resources while idle. Rule-based logic is used wherever it is sufficient, and AI model calls are metered and capped, so computing power is not spent where a simple rule will do. Environments that are not in use are shut down by default, and capacity scales with real demand. Using less computing power for each transaction lowers both cost and carbon emissions for the same amount of work.
The decisions that reduce the total cost of ownership are the same decisions that reduce our environmental footprint, so our customers never have to choose between the two.
