A fully offline Windows desktop application built for small businesses to manage GST transactions, track sales and purchases, and generate monthly reports. The app supports multiple business profiles, auto-calculates CGST and SGST, exports reports to Excel and PDF, and includes a complete backup and restore system — all without requiring any internet connection, login, or subscription.

Key Features
1
Multiple Business Profiles
Create and manage separate profiles for multiple shops or businesses from one app. Each profile has its own transactions, contacts, and reports with color-coded indicators for easy identification.
2
Transaction Ledger
Record customer sales and vendor purchases with optional GST. CGST and SGST are calculated automatically based on the GST percentage entered. Supports bill number, notes, and contact details on every entry.
3
Monthly Dashboard
View a monthly summary of Total Sales, Total Purchases, GST Input, GST Output, Net GST Payable, and Net Balance. Switch between any month and year instantly.
4
Reports — Excel and PDF Export
Generate Buy Reports, Sell Reports, or combined GST Reports. Export to Excel or a clean A4 PDF with one click. Filters update the report automatically with no extra button required.
5
Contact Book with GST Auto-fill
Save vendors and customers along with their GST numbers. When a saved contact is selected in a transaction, their GST number auto-fills and locks automatically.
6
Backup and Restore
Export all data to a JSON file and restore it at any time with one click. Import is wrapped in an atomic SQL transaction so partial failures never corrupt existing data.
7
Fully Offline
No internet required, no login, no subscription. All data is stored locally in a SQLite database on the user's computer. Handles 10,000+ transactions without slowdown.
