One app for the three jobs every business does daily
VelBooks brings billing, inventory, GST returns, accounts, orders and an online store together, so you stop juggling bill books, Excel sheets and separate apps.
Bill faster
Make GST invoices with HSN/SAC codes, CGST/SGST or IGST and your business details in a few clicks. Scan barcodes at the counter instead of typing item names.
Keep stock under control
Every sale and purchase updates item quantities, so you see what is in stock, what is running low and what is not moving, before it costs you money.
Sell online
Put your products in an online store, share the link with customers and receive orders in the same app you bill from.
What is billing software, and why use it?
A plain-language answer before you compare products.
Billing software creates invoices for your sales, works out the tax, and keeps a record of every bill, payment and item sold, so you are not writing bill books by hand or rebuilding totals in Excel. Good billing software also updates your stock and gives you the data for GST returns and accounts from the same bills.
What it is used for
- Making GST tax invoices and simple non-GST bills in seconds
- Applying the right HSN/SAC code and GST rate, with CGST + SGST or IGST worked out for you
- Reducing stock automatically as you sell, and adding it back when you purchase
- Tracking who has paid and who still owes you
- Collecting sales and purchase figures for GSTR returns and your books
Who uses billing software
Retail shops, kirana and supermarkets, wholesalers and distributors, pharmacies, garment, footwear, electronics, hardware and auto-parts shops, bakeries and service businesses. Whether or not you are GST-registered, if you raise bills you can use it. See billing software by industry.
Billing app or billing software?
Same job. VelBooks is a web app: it runs in the browser on your counter PC, laptop, tablet or phone, so the same account works as billing software on a desktop and as a billing app on mobile, with nothing to install.
