What you'll do day to day
One parlour bill, three products
Signed in as a staff member, open /pos. Milk, paneer and cow ghee on one bill, each line at the rate set on the item, UPI or cash.
Doorstep dues at month-end
Signed in as the owner, open /outstanding. Kulkarni, Deshpande, Sawant and Mane households plus Hotel Rajdhani: who owes for September, and a WhatsApp reminder from each row.
The plant paid less than the invoice
Signed in as the accountant, open /banking/reconcile. Panchganga Milk Processing's ten-day payment matched to the bulk-milk invoices it settles; any short payment stays visible.
What a kilo of paneer really costs
Signed in as the owner, open /manufacturing?tab=boms. 10 kg of paneer from 50 litres of buffalo milk and citric acid, with the rolled-up cost per kilo next to the ₹380 price.
A paneer run draws the milk
Signed in as a staff member, open /manufacturing?tab=production. The morning paneer run consumes raw buffalo milk bought from farmers; stock drops by exactly the recipe.
Farmers are suppliers, bills on a cycle
Signed in as the accountant, open /suppliers. Sakharam Jadhav, Bhausaheb Patil and the other producers with their ten-day milk bills and what the centre owes each.
Ghee and dahi by batch
Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. Cow ghee, buffalo ghee and dahi by batch with near-expiry flagged, so the oldest jar sells first.
Rates for hotels and sweet shops
Signed in as the owner, open /price-lists. One price list for hotels and sweet shops, another for the parlour, applied when the invoice is raised.
A Kolhapur milk collection centre that knows what the plant owes and what a kilo of paneer costs
Before: Farmers paid from a register, the plant's ten-day payment never checked against the milk sent, and doorstep households reminded only when someone remembered.
With Finocket: Farmers are suppliers billed on a cycle; plant invoices are matched to its payments in the bank; paneer and ghee runs draw the bought milk; every household's month-end bill sits on the outstanding list with a reminder.
