Software built around how your business actually runs — that you own outright, that scales as you grow.
Off-the-shelf software makes you bend your process to fit it. Custom software flips that — it's built around exactly how your business runs, then grows as you do. We build web and mobile apps, dashboards, internal portals, SaaS MVPs and workflow automation for Indian SMBs, with Tally, GST, payments and WhatsApp wired in from the start. And we'll tell you honestly when a ₹2,000/month tool is the smarter buy than anything we could build.
We sit with your team for a day and watch the actual process — the registers, the WhatsApp groups, the Excel sheets, the Tally entries done twice. We document where time leaks and where money leaks. Build scope comes from what we observed, not a feature list someone imagined.
If Zoho, a Tally add-on, or an off-the-shelf POS already does 90% of the job for ₹2,000/month, we tell you to buy it — and walk away from the build. We only recommend custom when your process is genuinely your edge or no tool fits. That candour is why operators trust the rest of our recommendations.
We find the one workflow costing you the most — order-to-dispatch, fee collection, field-staff reporting — and ship that as a working app your team uses for real. You see value before the full build is done, and every later module is shaped by real usage, not guesses.
Clean API boundaries, a proper database, and roles/permissions from day one — so adding a second branch, a mobile app for the sales team, or a customer portal later is an extension, not a teardown. We build for the business you'll be in three years, not just today.
Source code in your Git repository, database on your cloud account, documentation, and admin credentials handed over. No lock-in, no 'we host it so you can't leave.' If you ever part ways with us, another developer can pick it up the next day.
Role-based access, encrypted data, audit logs on sensitive actions, daily backups, and GST/PII handled correctly. We design as if a disgruntled employee and a careless intern both have logins — because eventually they will.
Customer-facing and internal apps on a modern, maintainable stack (React/Next.js, Node, Flutter/React Native) — fast on a ₹8,000 Android phone and a patchy 4G signal in a godown.
Live sales, collections, stock and team activity on your phone — so you can run the business from a wedding, a flight, or your second city without ten phone calls.
Vendor portals, dealer/distributor logins, field-staff apps and customer self-service — each role sees only what it should, with approvals and audit trails built in.
Multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing on Razorpay, plans, roles and usage limits — the foundation a fundable product is built on, shipped lean.
Replace the manual, error-prone steps — re-keying orders, chasing approvals on WhatsApp, copying data between Tally and Excel — with reliable automated flows.
Two-way Tally sync, GSTR-ready exports, e-invoice/e-way bill APIs, payment gateways, logistics and WhatsApp — connected cleanly so your systems stop disagreeing.
We pull your data out of Excel, that old VB app, or the abandoned software, clean it, and bring it in — so go-live day isn't a data disaster.
Bug fixes, security patches, feature additions and uptime monitoring under a clear support agreement — you own the code, we keep it healthy.
Document/OCR extraction for invoices and POs, WhatsApp AI agents, smart reminders and anomaly alerts — added where they save real hours, not as a buzzword.
Instead of scoping the whole system, we find the single process bleeding the most time or money — say, order-to-dispatch in a trading house — and ship only that in 4–6 weeks. Real usage funds and de-risks the rest of the build.
For staff and customers who'll never open a new app, we put the workflow inside WhatsApp via the official API — field staff submit orders, customers check status, approvals happen in chat. Adoption goes to near-100% because nobody changes their habits.
We never ask you to abandon Tally. We build a sync so masters and vouchers move both ways — the app runs operations, Tally stays your books of record. Your CA stays happy and your data stays in one truth.
In discovery, if a ready tool covers 90% of the job we recommend buying it and decline the build. Telling clients not to spend with us on day one is exactly why they trust us with the projects that genuinely need custom work.
For 50+ user teams, we model the rising monthly SaaS bill against a one-time build's total cost of ownership and show the year where owning beats renting — turning a vague 'custom is expensive' fear into a dated break-even on a slide.
Godowns, factory floors and delivery routes have dead 4G zones. We build apps that queue actions offline and sync when signal returns, so a counter never stops billing because the internet blinked.
Source in your Git, database on your cloud account, documented setup, admin credentials in writing — from day one, not at the end. We engineer the project so that if you fired us tomorrow, another developer could continue on Monday.
We load-test for Diwali, exam-result day, or month-end billing rushes — the days the system absolutely cannot crash — rather than for an average Tuesday, so the software holds exactly when the business needs it most.
We watch your actual workflow, document where time and money leak, and decide honestly whether to build, buy or integrate. You get a scoped plan and architecture before any quote is final.
Clickable UX of the core screens, reviewed with the people who'll actually use them, plus the data model and integration plan locked. We fix friction on paper, where it's cheap.
We build the single most painful workflow into a working app your team uses for real — not a demo. First value lands here, and it shapes everything after.
We wire in Tally/GST, payments and WhatsApp, migrate your data, and build out the remaining modules in priority order, releasing in usable increments.
Security review, backups, audit logs, on-site training, documentation, and full handover of source code, database and credentials. You own it outright.
Under a clear SLA we fix, patch and add features as the business changes — and as new locations, users or product lines come on, the architecture extends without a rewrite.
Order-to-dispatch apps, dealer/distributor portals, field-sales order capture, and live stock across godowns — with Tally and GST kept in sync.
Production tracking, job cards, machine/shift logging, raw-material consumption and dispatch — replacing the registers and WhatsApp updates from the floor.
Central dashboards over POS data, recipe costing, aggregator reconciliation, and stock movement across branches that the owner sees live on a phone.
Patient records, OPD/IPD flows, billing, batch/expiry and Schedule-H registers, and regulator-ready reports compiled in clicks, not days.
Admissions, fee collection on Razorpay/UPI, attendance, exams and parent communication on WhatsApp — built for the staff who'll actually run it.
Multi-tenant MVPs with subscription billing, roles and usage limits — a fundable, scalable product shipped lean instead of an over-built v1.
Founders and ops heads who want to prove one painful workflow works before committing to a full build.
Fixed-scope, 4–6 weeks
Established SMBs replacing a tangle of spreadsheets and tools with one system built around their operations.
Phased engagement
SaaS founders and multi-branch businesses building a product or a system meant to scale across locations and users.
Retainer + roadmap
Indicative scopes — every engagement is tailored on a quick discovery call.
We baseline the hours your team spends re-keying, reconciling and chasing data, then automate the biggest offenders — and report the hours given back.
Time from order to dispatch, enquiry to quote, or admission to record — cut by removing handoffs and manual steps between systems.
Double-entry mistakes, mismatched stock and wrong bills drop when one system is the source of truth instead of five spreadsheets.
For larger teams, we track total cost against the per-seat SaaS fees a custom build replaces — the point where owning beats renting.
Percentage of the team actually using the tool daily within 30 days — the metric that decides whether any software was worth building.
How fresh the numbers on your dashboard are — moving you from 'last month's report' to live, so decisions happen in time to matter.
Operations-heavy Indian SMBs and founders who have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools — factories, trading/distribution houses, multi-outlet restaurants and retail chains, hospitals, pharmacies, schools, and early-stage SaaS founders who need a working product, not a slide deck.
We scope from watching your real workflow — the registers, the double-entry, the WhatsApp chaos — not from a feature list. The software fixes what's actually costing you.
If a ₹2,000/month tool does the job, we say so and decline the project. That honesty on day one is why operators trust us with the builds that genuinely matter.
Source code, database and credentials are yours from the start — in writing. Switch developers anytime; nothing is held hostage.
Tally sync, GST e-invoicing, UPI/Razorpay, WhatsApp flows, ₹8,000-phone performance and dead-zone offline support — designed for how business actually runs here.
We also run your marketing, branding and ERP, so the software fits into one coherent system — not a silo that ignores the rest of your business.
Often you should — and we'll say so. If a ready tool covers 90% of your process, buying it for a few thousand rupees a month beats any build. Custom makes sense when your workflow is your competitive edge, when no tool fits your industry's reality, or when subscription fees for 50+ users have quietly crossed what a one-time build would cost. We do the build-vs-buy maths with you before quoting.
You own all of it — source code in your Git repository, database on your cloud account, and admin credentials handed over in writing. No lock-in. If you ever switch developers, they can pick it up from day one. We earn renewals by being good to work with, not by holding your code hostage.
You don't have to. We build a two-way sync so masters and vouchers flow between your app and Tally, generate GSTR-ready exports, and integrate e-invoice and e-way bill APIs where you need them. Tally stays your books of record; the app handles the operations Tally was never meant to.
We're MVP-first. We identify the single most painful workflow and ship that as a real, usable app in 4–6 weeks — your team uses it for actual work, not a demo. The full build extends from there, shaped by how the MVP performs in the field.
That's a design constraint, not an afterthought. We build for a ₹8,000 Android phone, in plain language, with the fewest taps possible, and often a WhatsApp-based flow so staff barely change habits. We train on-site and watch real usage in week one to fix friction before it becomes 'the software nobody uses.'
Role-based access, encrypted data, audit logs on sensitive actions, daily backups, and correct handling of GST and personal data. We design assuming both a careless intern and a disgruntled ex-employee will have had a login — because over a few years, they will.
Whether you need to replace spreadsheets, connect SaaS tools, build a custom ERP, launch a SaaS product, generate better leads or automate WhatsApp follow-ups — TheManki can help you build the system your business deserves.
