“Earlier a customer sat with the pamphlet for hours, sending us product numbers one by one, and we typed those same numbers back in to make the bill. Now they pick on the link in minutes and the order lands already itemised. Fast for them, no double work for us.”

Read their storyYour crackers year
Every year has the same four steps. Here is what each one looks like with the software.
Jun–Sep
Save a purchase bill and stock goes up. Low-stock alerts tell you what to reorder in time.
Aug–Sep
Set this season's rates and publish them to your order link. Last year's list stays as it was.
The 45 days
Make bills from the keyboard, no mouse needed. Challan and transport papers come with every dispatch.
Nov–Dec
Collect the pending payments, settle your agents, and file GST from reports that are already made.
Next June you start from last year’s numbers, not a blank notebook.
Parties & ledgers
Customers, suppliers and agents, each with their own page. Every bill and every payment goes on it on its own, so you always see what was billed, what was paid, and what is pending.
When a party calls, you open their page and you already know what to say.

Products & stock
Upload the Excel you already have, wholesale and retail. From the first bill, every sale, purchase and return changes the stock on its own.
Next season, you order from what actually sold, not from memory.

WhatsApp order link
Send one link on WhatsApp. Customers pick from your products with photos and rates, and send the order. It reaches your phone the same second, on WhatsApp and Telegram.
This is an order enquiry, not online sale. No cart checkout, no payment gateway. You confirm every order by phone, as you do today.
Billing & GST
Pick the customer, type a few letters of the item, and save. The bill prints on A4, as a challan, or on a thermal roll, and your GST reports build themselves from it.
One bill, three prints
Season price lists
Every Diwali brings new rates. Make this year’s price list next to last year’s without touching one old rate. Publish this year’s to your order link, and last year’s stays for your records.
Three seasons, three price lists, and not one rate written over.
Chit funds
Set up the scheme once: ₹1,000 a month for 10 months, one month free. Add members from your customer list or your register. Every month, collect and give a receipt. At Diwali, bill their crackers from what they saved.
Members watch their savings grow. You watch the collection, not a notebook.

Built for the trade
Cases and pieces, PESO licence, lorry and LR, delivery challan without prices. Everything the crackers trade needs on every document, which a general billing app does not have.
சிவகாசி வியாபாரத்துக்காக கட்டப்பட்டது (built for the Sivakasi trade)
Why not a generic app
Generic billing apps are built for every business in India at once, which is exactly why a crackers counter ends up fighting them. A few of the places it shows:
| Capability | Here | Generic billing apps |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing a line | MRP → discount % → net rate, the way Sivakasi quotes | One rate and a discount field you repurpose |
| Packing units | Case × box × packet × piece, converted automatically | One unit per item; conversions live on a calculator |
| Season rates | Every season a saved price-list version; publish exactly one | Overwrite item rates each year; last year is gone |
| Taking orders | Order-enquiry link, browse by pamphlet serial; no checkout, you confirm by phone | E-commerce carts and payment pages the crackers ban doesn't allow |
| Buyer GSTIN | One click verifies it against the GST network and fills in the registered details | You open the GST portal in another tab and copy the details by hand |
Also inside
No second app for quotations, no spreadsheet for commission, no separate login for your accountant.
A dedicated tax-invoice book beside your estimate bills. Register every GSTIN your family business holds; each runs its own invoice series and prints under its own signature.
SA/GST/0004
AC/GST/0012
One click checks a buyer's GSTIN against the GST network and fills in their registered details. Verified once, cached in your own GST master.
Wholesale quotes in case × piece and walk-in retail estimates, each converting to a bill in one click: party, lines, rates and discounts carried over exactly.
EST-0042
INV-00231
Breakage, shortage, return or rate dispute: each adjusts the ledger, restores stock and reverses commission.
Commission accrues on every booked sale and settles per agent after the season.
Cash, UPI, bank, cheque and adjustments recorded against bills, with a printable receipt or voucher.
Supplier bills, balance per supplier, and the total you have to pay.
Season spend by category and vendor, with this month and your top category on top.
Screen-by-screen access across 15 screens: counter staff see billing and nothing else, your accountant sees reports and nothing else. Set once, forget it.
Add staff by username, change a role inline, and hide individual screens per person.
Run more than one firm, each with its own customers, products, numbering and settings.
Every year is its own clean book, with its own document numbering and price-list versions.
Products and customers from .xlsx or .csv, with column mapping and a row-by-row preview.
CSV out of every list and report; A4, challan and thermal prints plus a real vector PDF off any bill.
Give each product a set of retail photos, and buyers on your order link swipe through them before they pick, the way they shop everywhere else.
Every order and counter estimate builds a directory of retail customers by phone number, so next season's first message has a ready list to go to.

Before you ask
Yes. It's an order-enquiry tool, not a checkout: retailers browse your price list and submit an enquiry, you confirm by phone, and payment happens off-platform, in line with the Supreme Court's ban on online firecracker sale. There is no cart checkout, no payment gateway and no auto-confirmation anywhere in the flow.
No. This is billing software for cracker shops from the ground up. MRP, discount % and net rate sit on every line because that is how Sivakasi prices, not as an optional field. Case → box → packet → piece packing, lorry and LR transport instead of courier fields, PESO licence tracking and a pre-seeded crackers taxonomy of 24 categories and 266 types are native, not workarounds.
Yes. The GST invoice book lets you register every GSTIN you operate under as its own issuer. Each issuer runs its own invoice series with its own signature, and all of them bill from one shared product and transporter list. Before you save an invoice, one click verifies the buyer's GSTIN against the GST network and fills in the registered name and address; the result is cached in your own GST master so the same GSTIN is never looked up twice.
Each financial year is its own clean book, so this year's screens show this year's figures. What carries forward is your price lists: every season is a saved version, so Diwali 2024, 2025 and 2026 rates all stay side by side for reference, repeat customers and audit.
No, and that's deliberate. Wholesale runs on party-specific quotations from your trade catalogue. Retail runs on a versioned season price list published to your counter and your public order link. Both land in the same books.
Top products for any date range tells you what billed the most. Every product's own page shows units sold, revenue and units bought this season with the bills behind them. The stock report flags what ran low and what you oversold, which is usually the more useful list.
Signup is free: username, password and mobile number, nothing else to fill in first. Every new account starts with 7 days of Premium free. The Free plan then keeps billing, stock and ledgers forever; Premium (the order link, order alerts, GST filing pack, agents and your team) is ₹18,000 a year, about ₹1,500 a month.
Set up your business, load this year’s price list and share your order link, then bill the season with the numbers in front of you.
