Key points
- Check sales and stock from your phone.
- Backups and updates happen automatically.
- No server or special IT person needed.
- Add users and locations easily.
- Lower upfront cost, spread over the year.
1. Your business on your phone
See today’s sales, cash, stock and dues from anywhere. Owners stop calling the shop for figures.
2. Automatic backups
A failed hard disk or stolen laptop doesn’t take your data with it.
3. Automatic updates
When GST rules or forms change, the software is updated without anyone installing anything.
4. No server to maintain
You don’t need a server in the back room or someone to look after it.
5. Work from anywhere
Your accountant can work from home; your CA can log in with read-only access.
6. Easy to grow
Adding a user, a counter or a second shop is a setting, not a project.
7. Lower upfront cost
You pay yearly instead of a large amount upfront.
8. Everyone on the same data
Counter, godown, salesmen and owner see the same live stock and sales.
The trade-offs
- You need an internet connection, even a basic one.
- The yearly fee continues as long as you use it.
- Your data is stored with the vendor, so choose one you trust. See data security.
Is it right for you?
If you want remote access, have more than one location or don’t want to manage IT, cloud is usually the better fit. If your internet is unreliable and you work from one place, consider desktop. See cloud vs desktop.
