The difference, first
The bill posted the moment somebody typed it. The payable is already in your accounts. Approving it later is a signature on a cheque that cleared last week.
Here, a document waiting on a decision is held out of the books. Everyone can see it. Nothing is hidden. But its voucher is un-posted — not in the trial balance, not in the P&L, not in the party ledger, not in cash flow. Your accounts stay exactly as they were until a person with the right to say yes says yes.
Works in the browser, on Android, and on a staff phone in the field.
Your trial balance, while it waits
Unchanged to the paisa. That is the entire point.
And under that discipline, the whole business
Most businesses keep billing in one place, stock in another, staff in a notebook and the accounts in a spreadsheet a month later. Every one of those is the same event, typed four times. Here it is typed once — pick one.

Five lines, GST worked out on each of them, printed and sent on WhatsApp.

And these moved with it
One entry. Four places. Nobody re-typed anything into a spreadsheet on Friday.
You did this
Built from the clock — days present, overtime, absents, advances outstanding.

And these moved with it
Attendance is where payroll comes from, and payroll is where the ledger comes from. Break that chain and you are typing salaries by hand every month.

Against purchase order PO-0118. A short delivery stays a short delivery.

And these moved with it
What you ordered, what turned up, and what you were billed for stay three separate facts — which is the only way to notice they disagree.
You did this
Recorded against the invoice on a phone, standing in the customer’s shop.

And these moved with it
Entered in the field, on a phone, by the person who collected it — not written on a slip and typed in three days later.
Then, instead of seventy-four feature rows
Ten cards that open, not seventy-four rows that do not get read. The full index is still here — it is the ledger below, where somebody comparing vendors line by line can actually use it.
Most businesses run billing in one place, stock in another, staff attendance in a notebook, and the accounts in a spreadsheet a month later. tBiz is the whole index, and every line of it posts to the same ledger.
From the first enquiry to a party with a ledger balance.
Quote → order → challan → invoice → credit note. Each step carries the last one forward.
What you ordered, what arrived, what you were billed for — reconciled.
Real double entry. Not a spreadsheet wearing a ledger’s coat.
Built from the invoices you already raised — no second data entry.
The HR system most accounting software makes you go and buy twice.
Jobs happen outside the office. They should still land in the system.
The part that decides whether everything above stays true.
What you see when you open it on a Tuesday morning.
The first afternoon is the one that decides whether you keep using it.
And the rule behind it
Set the rule per document type and per amount: every journal entry, or only payments above ₹50,000. Choose carefully — a business that must approve every fifty-rupee purchase stops approving anything. The queue fills with trivia, the real ones drown in it, and within a fortnight somebody is clicking Approve without reading. A rule nobody follows is worse than no rule, because it looks like a control.
There are 8 kinds of document you can put behind an approval. Anything under the threshold goes through on the nod, and the amount is judged on its size, not its sign — a credit note for ₹5,000 is a five thousand rupee decision.
What can be held
48 resources, each with create, read, update and delete. Give your salesperson leads, clients and quotes — and not the profit and loss. Build a role that does not exist anywhere else and hand it to one person. The screen you tick and the rule the server enforces are the same list, kept honest by a test that fails the build if they ever drift apart.
Twelve templates to start — GST tax invoice, delivery challan, purchase bill, vouchers, an 80mm thermal receipt — and a visual editor to move every block, rule and column where you want it. Print a UPI QR on the invoice and get paid from the page you handed over.
Attendance is where payroll comes from, and payroll is where the ledger comes from. Break that chain and you are typing salaries in by hand at the end of every month.
Set the hours once, assign a shift to a person, and let lateness and overtime fall out of the clock instead of an argument.
Days present, hours worked, absents, overtime — computed, not remembered. Unmarked days do not quietly get paid.
An employee sees their attendance, applies for leave, claims an expense, and looks up what they still owe on an advance.
Every employee has a named approver. “Submitted” with nobody behind it is how a claim sits for three weeks.
Messenger built in: direct and group chat, voice notes, read receipts, voice and video calls that work on mobile data.
tBiz Staff for Android: clock in, leave, expenses. Signs in once and stays signed in.
Not yet
Every other line on this page is something you can use today. These are the exceptions — some built but not yet switched on, one a line we deliberately stop short of — and we would rather you heard it here than found out on the day you tried to file.
