v1.28.1
A patch on top of 1.28.0 — Batch & Expiry on Purchases, Business Details & Search Everywhere
17 August 2026
v1.28.0
CurrentBatch & Expiry on Purchases, Business Details & Search Everywhere
Type a lot number and expiry straight on the purchase row, keep your licence and tax numbers with your business details, and use one search box to reach any screen, setting or report in the app.
Batch & Expiry on the Purchase Row
Lot number and expiry date are now columns on the item row itself — no hidden dialog to open, one batch per line, and the app warns you if the same batch is already on another row.
Choose What Prints on an Invoice
A new print options button on sales invoices lets you include or leave out the batch number and expiry columns before you print.
Licence & Tax Numbers
Record your trade or drug-sale licence, narcotics licence, and your NTN and STRN under Settings → Business Profile — and name those numbers whatever they're called where you trade.
Search Reaches Every Screen
Press Ctrl+K and type the name of any screen, setting or report — merging duplicates, importing a file, the audit log, network settings — and go straight there.
v1.27.0
Weighing Scales, Automatic Updates & Credit Notes
Sell rice, meat, oil or cloth by weight — by hand or straight off a digital scale. The phone app now updates itself when a new version is out. Plus proper returns against a wholesale bill, and a way to move your whole shop to a new device.
Sell by Weight, Volume or Length
Rice, meat, loose oil, cloth and wire can now go on the bill by the amount, not the packet — a big on-screen pad opens for anything priced by kg, litre or metre.
Connect a Digital Scale
Plug a counter scale into the computer and the weight drops straight into the bill as you weigh — set it up under Settings → Printing.
The Phone App Updates Itself
When a new version is ready your phone shows a notification — tap it and the app downloads and installs the update on its own. Your data, settings and login stay exactly as they are.
Returns on a Wholesale Bill
Take goods back against a sale invoice and the app raises a proper credit note, leaving the original bill exactly as it was printed.
v1.26.1
Your Own Dashboard, Proper Returns & Bulk Import
Build a dashboard of the numbers you watch every day, take items back the right way without ever touching the original bill, bring your whole product and customer list in from a spreadsheet, and set the app's colours and starting screen to suit you.
Import from a Spreadsheet
Bring in your products, customers, and suppliers in bulk from an Excel or CSV file — there's an Import button on the Products, Customers, and Suppliers screens.
Build Your Own Dashboard
A new Dashboard screen you arrange yourself — add the cards you care about, drag them where you want, and resize them to fit.
Twenty Cards to Choose From
Today's sales, orders, profit, tax, discounts, collections and stock value, plus charts for your sales trend, best sellers, biggest debtors, low stock, expiring batches, cash-versus-card split, and money owed by area.
A Proper Returns Counter
Scan or type the bill number, pick exactly what the customer brought back, and give the money from the drawer or put it against their account.
v1.25.0
Search Everything, Payment History & Live Balances
One search box finds any product, customer, or invoice in the app, payments now have a full searchable history, and balances shown to you are always the up-to-date ones.
Search Everything
One search box finds products, customers, suppliers, invoices, and orders anywhere in the app — press Ctrl+K, type a few letters, and jump straight to the record.
Full Transaction History
A new Transaction History report lists every payment and account entry you've recorded, with filters for type, payment method, region, and staff member.
Live Bill Standing
Payment screens and ledgers show the current standing of each bill — paid, part-paid, or still owed — so you always see today's position, not the position when the bill was made.
Smaller, Safer Backups
Backup files are now compressed to a fraction of the size, and a restore checks the file thoroughly before touching your data.
v1.24.0
Full Urdu, Activity Log & Smarter Reports
The whole app now speaks Urdu, a proper activity log shows who did what, and reports are easier to find, filter, and print.
Complete Urdu
Every screen, button, and message is now translated, so your staff can run the whole app in Urdu.
Activity Log Filters
Find any action in seconds by staff member, type of record, or date range — sales, payments, stock changes, and logins are all listed with who did it and when.
Activity History Settings
Choose how long the app keeps your activity history and how many events to store — older entries clear out automatically, under Settings → Features.
Search Your Reports
Search the Reports screen by name, and only see the reports your role is allowed to open.
v1.23.0
Main Device, Barcode Labels & Payment QR
Choose the main device that always keeps your business, print your own barcode labels, let customers pay by scanning a QR on the invoice, and count the till in seconds.
Main Device
Pick your main device under Settings → Devices — if your plan ever switches back to offline, the main device keeps all your business data while other devices are safely disconnected.
Safe Plan Switching
Moving between offline and cloud plans is now fully automatic — when you come back online, a fresh copy of your data is uploaded so every device starts from the same correct point.
Barcode Labels & Printing
Generate barcodes for your products, design the label layout, choose the barcode type your scanner likes, and print sheets of labels.
Payment QR on Invoices
Add your bank account or payment address in Settings, and invoices and ledgers print a QR code your customers can scan to pay you.
v1.21.0
Cloud Sync, Serial Tracking & Tax Details
Keep every device in sync over the internet, track individual phones by IMEI, and add proper tax details for your customers.
Cloud Sync
Keep every device in sync automatically over the internet, not just on the same Wi-Fi, with a live status indicator and a manual Sync Now button.
Manage Connected Devices
See every device linked to your business, approve new ones, and remove ones you no longer use — find it under Settings → Devices.
Secure Device Removal
Removing a device now wipes its local copy of your data, so it can't be used to see your business information anymore.
Encrypted Database
Your data is now stored encrypted on every device for extra protection if it's ever lost or stolen.
v1.20.0
Sell in Any Unit, Edit Anything & GST
Sell in cartons, packs, or pieces without the maths, fix saved invoices and purchases in place, and add GST to your invoices.
Sell in Cartons, Packs & Pieces
Give a product different pack sizes, each with its own price and barcode — search for the pack at the till and the receipt shows exactly what was sold.
Edit Saved Invoices
Change a saved invoice — items, prices, or quantities — and stock and the customer's balance adjust automatically, with an Edited badge so you know it changed.
Edit Purchases
Fix a saved purchase the same way — stock and the supplier's balance stay correct, and edited purchases are clearly marked.
GST on Invoices
Add GST to individual lines or the whole invoice, and printed invoices show it clearly.
v1.19.7
Custom Roles, Reports & Distributor Tools
Give every staff member exactly the access they need, dig deeper into your sales, and export the files distributors ask for.
Faster Product Lists
Big product and sales lists now scroll smoothly, even with thousands of items.
Smarter Search
Search results now put the best matches first, in lists and filters across the app.
Special Reports
Generate the export files distributors need — customer, invoice, and stock files — all from one screen under Reports.
Brand Sales Report
See your sales broken down by brand, with totals by customer and region.
v1.18.0
Payments, Alerts & a Personal Touch
Stay on top of money owed to you, get notified about what needs attention, and make the app feel like yours.

One place for important alerts — low stock, items nearing expiry, customer dues, and your licence status.
Payments Screen
Record customer payments in seconds and watch a live feed of the latest transactions.
Collection Sheet
Print a ready-to-use list of customers who still owe you money, so nothing slips through the cracks.
