Good billing software saves time at the counter, reduces mistakes and makes GST filing much easier. But not every billing software suits every business. Before you buy, check these nine features.
1. Fast GST invoicing
Creating a bill should take seconds, with automatic tax calculation, HSN codes and the correct invoice format. Try it during the demo with a real bill from your business.
2. Barcode support
For shops with many items, barcode scanning speeds up billing and avoids wrong prices. Check that the software can print barcode labels too. See our barcode software and barcode hardware.
3. Stock and inventory
Stock should update automatically with every purchase and sale. Low-stock alerts help you reorder on time.
4. Purchase and supplier records
Record purchase bills and supplier payments in the same system, so profit and stock are always accurate.
5. Customer accounts and dues
For businesses that sell on credit, the software should show what each customer owes and send reminders.
6. GST and business reports
- Sales and purchase registers
- GST summary reports for filing
- Day-end cash and payment mode summary
- Item-wise and customer-wise sales
7. Multiple users with permissions
Counter staff should be able to bill without seeing profit reports or deleting entries. User rights keep your data safe.
8. Backup and data safety
Ask how your data is backed up and how quickly it can be restored if a computer fails.
9. Local installation, training and support
Software is only useful if your staff can use it confidently. Check who will install it, train your team and help when something goes wrong.
Software for different businesses
Different businesses need different billing screens. A restaurant needs table and KOT billing, a salon needs appointments, and a distributor needs schemes and credit control. Simplifi offers InvoPro GST billing and inventory software, RestoPro for restaurants, Saloonz for salons and spas and Easy POS.
