The problem
Retainer invoices go out late or get missed
The solution
Bill every retainer on time, and know what each client paid for.
Finocket drafts your monthly retainer invoices on a schedule for you to review and send, turns tracked hours into invoice lines, and keeps GST and TDS records your CA can open directly.
Top use cases
The problem
The same sale is written twice: a kaccha parchi at the auction, then a pakka bill for the buyer.
The munim copies lot, bags, weight and rate from the bahi into a bill book by hand.
The solution
Your mandi bills and books, on the phone you already carry
Raise a sale bill with lot number, bags and net weight on each line, keep farmers and buyers in separate ledgers, and hand your CA GST-ready books. Arrivals, auction entry and farmer patti are being built and are marked as not yet available.
Top use cases
The problem
Estimates agreed over the phone, then disputed at delivery
A verbal quote or a handwritten slip, with approval by phone call
The solution
Labour and spares on one GST bill, and stock that keeps count
Send an estimate the customer approves from a link, turn it into the bill, and watch spares stock fall as you sell. Vehicle details sit on every bill, and the books are ready for your CA.
Top use cases
The problem
No single view of which client needs attention this week
The solution
See every client's books from one screen
When a client adds you to their Finocket workspace, you get a read-only seat. Your cockpit ranks those clients by what needs attention, and your firm's own workspace keeps its client roster and fee invoices.
The problem
Fees collected at the desk never quite match the day's register
The solution
Your clinic's front desk and books, in one place
Reception takes the consultation fee and shares a receipt in seconds. TDS from hospitals and TPAs, clinic expenses and the CA's filing bundle stay in step. Your EMR keeps the clinical record; Finocket keeps the money.
The problem
The same retainer invoice is retyped every month
The solution
Bill the engagement, not just the hours.
Send an estimate your client accepts online, bill the retainer every month, record the TDS they withheld, and hand your CA books that already add up.
Top use cases
The problem
Running bills are typed up in Excel from the site engineer's measurement sheets
The solution
Bill what you measured. Know what each site earned.
Raise Running Account Bills with measured quantities, keep site and work order references on every bill, record the TDS your client deducted, and see profit site by site.
Top use cases
The problem
The bulk milk bill to the union is written by hand.
The secretary copies litres, fat and SNF from the shift register onto a bill.
The solution
Bill the union for your milk and keep clean books
Raise a bulk milk bill with milk type, shift, fat and SNF on each line, keep member and union ledgers, and give your CA books they can file from. Shift-wise collection entry and the fat/SNF rate chart are being built and are marked as not yet available.
Top use cases
The problem
Typing the same fee receipt for every student, every month
A fee register in a notebook or spreadsheet and a receipt book filled in by hand at the desk
The solution
Bill every fee on time, and keep the books your CA asks for
Monthly fee bills drafted for you to review and send, course fees split into instalments, and GST-ready books you can hand over in Tally format. Built for the office desk, not the classroom.
Top use cases
The problem
Order book from the morning beat
The salesman writes retailer orders in a notebook or sends WhatsApp photos, and the office types them in the afternoon.
The solution
Every principal, every retailer and every rupee owed, in one set of books
Finocket keeps your retailers with their outlet type, beat and credit days, your SKUs by principal and brand, stock in cases and pieces, and the GST your CA files, in one place.
Top use cases
The problem
Not knowing what one carton, jar or strip costs
Formula cost is worked out once in Excel and never updated when raw or packing material prices move.
The solution
Cost every batch from its formula, and keep your books and GST data in one place.
Finocket gives a small food, nutraceutical, AYUSH or pharma formulation unit its recipe and formula costing, production runs, work orders, HSN summaries and double-entry books in one place. It does not replace your GMP or quality records.
Top use cases
The problem
Clients pay on UPI with no proper invoice behind it
The solution
Get paid for the work. Keep the tax paperwork straight.
Send a GST invoice with a UPI QR on WhatsApp, bill overseas clients in their currency, record the TDS a client kept back, and give your CA a clean export.
Top use cases
The problem
The guest register is a paper book
Guests sign a bound register; ID photocopies go in a file; Form C for foreign guests is typed into the FRRO portal later.
The solution
Bill your guests and keep your books in one place
GST invoices, payment links and double-entry books work today for hotels, lodges, homestays and PGs. Rooms, reservations, folios and the guest register are built, behind a switch that is off by default, and this page marks each one.
The problem
Export invoices built by hand
A dollar invoice is typed in a document, the INR rate looked up separately and the LUT line pasted in
The solution
Invoice overseas clients, milestones and AMCs without a spreadsheet beside your books.
Finocket raises export invoices in your client's currency under LUT, bills fixed-price work in tranches that cannot exceed the contract, and turns tracked hours into invoice lines.
Top use cases
The problem
Pricing every piece by hand from the morning's rate
The rate is chalked on a board or sent on WhatsApp, and the salesperson multiplies weight by rate on a calculator, then adds making and wastage.
The solution
Bill gold by weight, karat and today's rate
Enter the morning's rate once. Each bill works out metal value, making and wastage, prints the HUID, and lands in your GST books the same day.
Top use cases
The problem
Billing a queue by hand
Prices are remembered or read off packets and added on a calculator or in a notebook.
The solution
Bill quickly at the counter, and know what is on your shelf
Scan packets to bill with a USB or Bluetooth scanner, keep MRP and brand on every item, take cash, card or UPI even when the internet drops, and send a WhatsApp reminder with a pay link to customers who owe you.
Top use cases
The problem
Time spent on a client is never fully billed
The solution
Bill your clients and keep your legal practice's books
Log time per client, turn it into fee note lines, run monthly retainers, record the TDS a client deducts, and hand your year to your CA. Finocket is the billing and books layer, not a case-management app.
The problem
Quoting a part without knowing what it really costs
The owner works out material and machine cost on a calculator or in an old Excel sheet whenever a buyer sends a drawing.
The solution
Know what each part costs, and where your material is.
Finocket gives a small factory its bills of materials, work orders, delivery challans, stock across godowns and GST-ready books in one place, so you can stop rebuilding the numbers in Excel at month end.
Top use cases
The problem
Marketplace sales are retyped into the books
Download each marketplace's order or tax report every month and key the sales into accounting software or a spreadsheet, one channel at a time.
The solution
Marketplace orders in, GST invoices and a per-marketplace reconciliation out
Convert marketplace orders into GST invoices with the CGST, SGST or IGST split worked out, compare your own sales with each marketplace's settlements before you file, and see gross, commission, shipping, TCS and net payout per channel each month. The TCS an operator reports in GSTR-8 is not checked against your books yet.
Top use cases
The problem
Prescriptions live on paper slips and in a register
The optometrist writes the Rx on a slip; the counter copies it into a register and onto the lab order
The solution
Every pair billed to the prescription it was made for.
Keep both eyes' powers, the prescriber and the Rx date on the order, so every pair is made to the powers it was sold against. Bill frames and lenses by barcode with a GST rate on every line, and run your books and GST in the same app.
Top use cases
The problem
Checking a chemist's drug licence before billing
A photocopy of the buyer's drug licence sits in a box file, and the billing clerk is meant to look it up before a new chemist's first order.
The solution
Bill chemists with the batch, expiry and licence details on the memo
Finocket keeps your buyers' drug licence numbers, your medicine master with MRP and schedule, stock by godown and batch, and what every chemist owes you, in the same books your CA files GST from.
The problem
Batch and expiry written by hand, or missing from the bill
The salesperson reads the strip and writes the batch and expiry on a handwritten bill, or leaves them off.
The solution
Bill medicines with batch and expiry on every line
Keep MRP, salt name and manufacturer on each item, flag Schedule H, H1 and X medicines, and keep GST books for your medical store.
The problem
The job's specification never reaches the bill
Size, GSM, colours and finishing arrive on WhatsApp or by phone, and the bill just says 'printing charges'.
The solution
Every print job, billed with its specification
Finocket for Printing is GST billing and double-entry books for printing and packaging presses in India. Material, GSM, finished size, colours and finishing print on each estimate and invoice line; job number, delivery date, proof approval date and paper supplied by are saved on the record and do not print on the bill. Built for offset, digital, flex, label and packaging printers.
Top use cases
The problem
Buyer requirements kept in memory
Budgets, localities and property types live in the broker's head and a phone notes app.
The solution
Every buyer, deal and brokerage invoice, on your phone.
Keep buyers, sellers and co-brokers in one place, put the agreed brokerage on the deal, bill it with GST, record the TDS you were paid net of, and hand clean books to your CA.
The problem
The POS and the books are two systems
The POS prints the bill; every week someone exports sales to Excel and the accountant re-keys them into Tally.
The solution
Your restaurant's bills, GST and books in one place
Raise GST bills at the counter, close the day with a Z-report and keep the books your CA files from. KOT, tables and priced add-ons are still being built, and this page marks each one.
Top use cases
The problem
Festive queues at one counter
Bills written or keyed item by item while customers wait.
The solution
One counter, or three stores: billing and stock that add up
Scan tags to bill, take split payments, run offers and gift vouchers, move stock between your stores, and keep GST-ready books your accountant can open.
Top use cases
The problem
Guests pay in three ways and the till never balances
Cash in a drawer, UPI on the owner's phone and card slips, totted up in a notebook at closing
The solution
Every service, every stylist, every rupee on one bill
Bill hair, skin and spa services next to retail products, take cash, UPI, card, vouchers and points in one go, and keep GST-ready books your CA can file from.
Top use cases
The problem
Nobody knows the true cost per metre or per saree
Yarn rate, weaving cost and the process house's charge are added up on a calculator or an Excel sheet once a season.
The solution
Cost your fabric from yarn to finished roll, and keep the GST books in the same app
For weaving mills and fabric traders in Surat, Bhiwandi, Ichalkaranji, Erode and Ludhiana. Record lot, shade and roll on every bill, book the process house's job-work bill with TDS, and send your CA the books.
Top use cases
The problem
Enquiries scattered across WhatsApp, calls and Instagram
Each consultant keeps leads in their own chat list and a notebook; follow-ups depend on memory.
The solution
Run the money side of your travel agency from your phone.
Track every enquiry, put the trip on the invoice, keep package and service-fee lines apart, record each advance and instalment, and hand clean books to your CA.
Top use cases
The problem
Pickers walk the aisles looking for stock
Stock location lives in a senior picker's head or a chalk mark on the rack.
The solution
Run your godowns and your GST books in one app
For traders, distributors and warehouse operators in India with two to five godowns. Address racks and bins, put away inward stock, pick and pack against the order, move stock between godowns, and download the e-way bill JSON for the portal.
Top use cases
The problem
Commercial invoices and packing lists are rebuilt in Word or Excel for every shipment
Copy last shipment's file, change the buyer, ports and packages, and hope nothing old is left behind.
The solution
Export paperwork and wholesale books in the same ledger
Print a commercial invoice with INCOTERM, IEC, ports, origin, packages and weight, bill foreign buyers in USD or EUR with the INR rate recorded, revalue open foreign-currency receivables at period end, and keep party-wise price lists and bill-wise ageing for your wholesale buyers.
