# Involex

> India-first GST billing software for small and medium businesses. Hosted workspace with invoicing, stock, receivables, and GSTR-style reports.

## What is Involex?

Involex is a hosted billing and accounting workspace built specifically for Indian businesses operating under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework. It is available at involex.shop.

Unlike generic international invoicing tools that bolt on GST as an afterthought, Involex was designed from the ground up for:
- Indian HSN/SAC codes on every line item
- CGST + SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state) calculations
- GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3B, and HSN working reports generated automatically from invoices
- Wholesale and retail trades (batches, expiry dates, buying price profit calculation, barcode scanning)

## Who is it for?

- **Wholesale traders & distributors** who need professional GST invoices with per-line HSN codes
- **Retail shopkeepers & merchants** managing barcode counter billing, batches, and customer Udhaar
- **Export businesses** using inter-state IGST
- **Growing teams** of 2–20 people who want one platform instead of spreadsheets + WhatsApp + a foreign invoicer
- **Business owners** who need money in, money out, stock, and outstanding at a glance
- **Finance staff** tracking aging, payment allocation, and supplier bills
- **Chartered Accountants (CAs)** who need read-only access to GSTR-style reports for their clients

## Key features

### GST Invoicing (core, always included)
- Tax invoices and bills of supply with server-assigned invoice numbers
- HSN/SAC per line item, GST slabs on products
- CGST + SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state — auto-calculated
- Place of supply, amount in words, branded PDF layout
- 58 mm and 80 mm thermal receipt layouts for counter sales
- Share invoices by link or email

### Document chain (linked without retyping)
- Quotation → Sales Order → Tax Invoice → Credit Note
- Purchase Order → Purchase Bill → Debit Note
- Each document inherits customer, items, and quantities from the previous step

### Inventory & catalogue (module)
- Products with MRP, wholesale price, buying price, and barcode
- Stock movements auto-updated on every invoice
- Low-stock alerts, batch tracking, and expiry date management

### Receivables & payables (ledger module)
- Customer outstanding and aging buckets (Current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+)
- Payment allocation across invoices (FIFO suggested)
- Supplier bills and business expenses
- CSV export

### GSTR reports (reports module)
- GSTR-1 working summary (outward supplies)
- GSTR-2 working summary (inward supplies)
- GSTR-3B working summary (tax liability)
- HSN-wise summary
- Generated directly from the invoices already in the system — no second data entry

### CA access (unique feature)
- Business owner invites CA by email from "My CA"
- CA receives a 6-digit code; enters it and the owner approves
- CA gets read-only access to reports — not the billing desk
- One CA email can serve multiple businesses from a single login

## How it works (setup model)

1. Business owner fills an enquiry form at https://involex.shop/#get-started
2. Involex team reviews and contacts the owner
3. A private workspace (tenant) is created for the business
4. Team members sign in at https://involex.shop/login — Involex routes them to the right company
5. First GST invoice can be raised the same day

There is no self-serve card checkout. This is intentional: setup is done by the Involex team to ensure the workspace is configured correctly for the business type.

## Pricing (as of 2026)

| Plan | Price | Billing |
|------|-------|---------|
| Monthly | ₹4,000/month | Billed every month |
| Yearly | ₹40,000/year | Save ₹8,000 vs monthly |

Both plans: same features, same modules, one business workspace.

## What Involex is NOT

- Not a Tally replacement (no full double-entry accounting, no P&L from journal vouchers)
- Not a GST Suvidha Provider — does not file returns on the portal directly
- Not a self-hosted open-source product (hosted SaaS; self-hosting by prior arrangement only)
- Not an international invoicing tool — built only for Indian GST
