What you need to know

What billing software has to get right.

01 · The job

A bill, in about ten seconds

Search the item or scan its barcode, set the quantity, pick the customer if the sale is on credit, choose how they paid, save. The bill prints or goes out on WhatsApp from the same screen. Everything that follows from it — stock going down, the customer's balance going up, the day's sales figure — happens without anyone opening another screen.

  • Search by name, or scan with the phone camera
  • Cash, UPI, part payment, or fully on udhaar
  • Thermal receipt or A4 invoice layout, printed or shared
  • Stock, ledger and reports update from the saved bill

02 · Trades

It asks what you sell before it assumes

A kirana shop, a chemist and a hardware store need different tax rates, different units and a different list of HSN codes. Choosing your line of trade when you sign up sets those defaults; there are eleven to choose from, and every one of them is a starting point you can change. A shop that sells in peti and bora is not forced to call everything a piece.

  • Kirana, pharmacy, electronics, hardware, apparel
  • Restaurant, wholesale, jewellery, stationery, auto parts
  • Units are free text — kg, pcs, box, peti, bora, ltr
  • HSN suggestions match the trade, not a generic list

03 · No internet

The network is not part of the sale

Bills are written to the phone first and sent to our servers afterwards. That ordering is the whole design, not a fallback: a customer standing at the counter never waits for a signal, and a shop in a basement market works the same as one on a main road. When the connection comes back, everything queued goes up by itself, and a bill that was sent twice is only applied once.

  • Bill, stock lookup, khata and printing all work offline
  • Queued work syncs by itself — nothing to press
  • Repeated sends cannot double a bill or a payment
  • The same data appears on the web dashboard afterwards

04 · Money owed

Udhaar that points at a bill

Most credit apps only track a running balance, which answers how much a customer owes but not which bill they were paying off. Here a payment is allocated to the invoices it settles, so a partly paid bill keeps showing what is left on it. Each customer can carry a date you expect to be paid by, and the reminder only appears once that date is near or past.

  • Settle one payment across several bills
  • Partly paid bills keep their remaining due visible
  • A payment-by date per customer, not per bill
  • A printable receipt for the customer who paid

05 · Staff

The cashier does not see the margins

Add your staff with a role — owner, manager, cashier or auditor — and each one only sees what that role allows. A cashier can bill and take payments without opening reports or purchase prices. Every change to a product, a customer or a bill is recorded with who did it and what it was before, and that record cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including you.

  • Owner, manager, cashier and auditor roles
  • Permissions are assignable per role from Staff
  • Every edit keeps its before and after
  • The activity log is append-only

Common questions

Questions shopkeepers ask first.

Which shops is this built for?

Small and mid-size Indian retail and wholesale — kirana and general stores, medical shops, hardware, electronics, stationery, apparel, auto parts, restaurants, and distributors who sell to other shops. It is not an ERP and does not try to be one.

Do I need a computer?

No. The Android app does the whole job, and most shops never open anything else. The web dashboard exists for the owner who wants a bigger screen for reports, staff and stock — it shows the same data, not a different product.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, completely. Billing, stock lookup, the udhaar khata, printing and local reports all run from data stored on the phone. Work syncs on its own when the connection returns, and nothing is lost in between.

What does it cost?

There is a free plan you can run a shop on. Paid plans add staff accounts, more items and more reports. You can see the prices and move between plans from the web dashboard, and go back to the free plan whenever you want.

Can I move my data out?

Yes. Products, customers, bills and dues export to CSV from the web dashboard, and every report prints or saves as a PDF. Nothing is locked in.
