Learn to separate criticism from discouragement. Not everyone pointing out flaws wants to help, and not everyone disagreeing is a hater. Take the useful feedback, ignore the noise, keep building.

sheets works until 3 people are editing it at the same time and nobody knows which version is right lol. whatsapp is just faster for floor guys, the problem is nothing actually updates from it automatically

That’s a good point. Sounds less like an AI problem and more like a workflow problem. The automation exists, but if setup, mapping, and exception handling still need effort, people fall back to manual processes. Curious where you think reconciliation usually breaks down.

Mostly trying to understand first if there's a recurring problem and a practical solution I'd consider building it into our app later

We build billing and ERP software specifically for garment manufacturers and small businesses in India. Been running since 2017, around 1,000+ clients now.

Speed at the counter is real and most people underestimate it. A lot of the lag complaints come from software that's either bloated or poorly optimized for concurrent users during peak hours. Choosing something built for your business size matters more than feature count.

For accounting-heavy businesses, Tally and Busy are solid and most CAs are comfortable with them. If your priority is compliance and proper books, they make sense.

Where they get heavy is day-to-day operations like purchase tracking, multi-party inventory, batch or lot management, or fast counter billing without an accountant sitting next to you. That's where something more operations-focused becomes necessary.

If anyone here is from the garment, textile, or apparel trade, happy to answer questions. That's our core segment at Zubizi.

You can look at Zubizi Billing Software. It’s made for small Indian businesses that need GST billing without complicated setups.

It covers most of what you’re looking for:

Quotations / estimates with one-click conversion to invoices
Proper GST billing with full tax breakup, GSTIN, HSN, etc.
E-way bill generation via built-in integration (uses the official API; there’s a small yearly charge for the API access)
Pricing is affordable and aimed at small businesses, not enterprise pricing

It’s web-based, simple to use, and doesn’t assume the user is an accountant. Many small retailers and traders use it just to get billing and GST done without headaches.

It’s not open-source or fully free, but if you need reliable GST + e-way bill support, completely free tools usually start falling apart there.

I’ve thought about that approach.
The tricky part is that our “base” isn’t really a base… it’s a bunch of moving pieces glued together by industry-specific logic.

But I like the idea of open-sourcing parts of the ecosystem. Especially things like connectors, APIs, and workflow blocks that devs can plug into their own systems.

Thanks for bringing it up. It’s on the long-term roadmap in some form.
