How it works

Every stage of the business, before and after, and what runs by itself.

  1. 1.Purchase from manufacturer or C&F

    Before
    Purchase bills are entered by hand from the supplier's invoice, batch by batch.
    With Finocket
    Purchase entries record batch, expiry, MRP and quantity in boxes, and stock goes into the right godown.

    Automated

    • Stock increases by batch when the purchase is saved
    • Input GST is ready for GSTR-3B
  2. 2.Stock and godowns

    Before
    Stock is counted on registers per godown and batches are tracked on paper.
    With Finocket
    Stock is held by godown and batch, in boxes with a strip conversion.

    Automated

    • Stock moves out when an invoice is issued
    • Transfers between godowns keep the batch
  3. 3.Orders from chemists

    Before
    Orders come by phone, WhatsApp or a salesman's notebook and are rewritten at the counter.
    With Finocket
    A sales order is created in the app, including offline, and turned into an invoice.

    Automated

    • Order lines carry the customer's price list rate
  4. 4.Billing the wholesale memo

    Before
    Memos are written or typed with licence numbers, batch and expiry copied from files and cartons.
    With Finocket
    The invoice carries batch, expiry, MRP, your licence number and the buyer's licence number.

    Automated

    • GST is calculated on each line
    • The PDF is shared on WhatsApp
  5. 5.Dispatch

    Before
    E-way bills are made on the portal separately and transport details typed again.
    With Finocket
    E-way bill, vehicle and transporter sit on the invoice, with a freight charge preset.

    Automated

    • E-way bill and e-invoice generation from the invoice (2 credits each)
  6. 6.GST

    Before
    The accountant rebuilds GSTR-1 from exported billing data.
    With Finocket
    GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are prepared from your invoices and purchases.

    Automated

    • HSN summary with the BOX unit
    • Returns prepared without re-entry
  7. 7.Collections

    Before
    Printed outstanding lists and post-dated cheques kept in a drawer.

    Automated

    • Payment reminders
    • A warning on the invoice when a buyer is over their credit limit
  8. 8.Returns from chemists

    Before
    Expired or broken stock comes back in a bag and is credited from memory.
    With Finocket
    A credit note against the original invoice records the returned batch.

    Automated

    • Stock and the chemist's balance update when the credit note is saved
  9. 9.Accounts

    Before
    Day book and ledgers are kept in a separate accounting package.
    With Finocket
    Double-entry books are written from every invoice, purchase and receipt.

    Automated

    • Ledgers update as you bill and collect
    • Bank statement reconciliation
  10. 10.Reporting

    Before
    Sales by chemist or by manufacturer are put together in a spreadsheet.

    Automated

    • Reports update as transactions are saved
