ambar 27 Purpose-built for Indian textile retail

The counter, the godown and the GST return — on one system.

A deployed retail ERP for saree and textile houses: barcode inventory down to the whitetag, floor-wise POS, karigar jobwork, cheque and cash control, IRN e-invoicing, TDS planning and payroll. Not a stack of bolt-ons. One database, one audit trail.

The problem

Most textile houses run on four systems that disagree.

A billing package at the counter. Tally for accounts. Excel for jobwork and whitetags. A WhatsApp group for approvals. Month-end becomes a reconciliation project — and nobody can answer a simple question: what did this design actually earn after value addition, discount and salesperson incentive?

  • Stock that never ties out. Counter sales, godown transfers and jobwork returns recorded in three places, in three formats.
  • Compliance done twice. Invoices re-keyed into Tally, then reconciled against GSTR-2B by hand.
  • Cash with no chain of custody. Counter to cashier to manager to bank — usually a diary, sometimes nothing.
  • Approvals with no record. Payments and expenses cleared over the phone, discovered at audit.
  • Reports that arrive too late. Ageing, margin and salesperson performance land after the decisions are made.
The system

Seven suites. One database. No re-keying.

Every module writes to the same ledger and the same inventory. A sale at the counter posts stock, GST, salesperson incentive, cash position and the customer ledger in the same transaction — nothing is queued for someone to enter later.

Sales & POS

Floor-wise and counter-wise billing, customer selections, custom orders, proforma, gift cards, advances, refunds, discount groups and salesperson incentives — with returns handled against the original invoice.

Why it fits

Built around how a saree house actually trades.

Generic retail ERPs model a SKU on a shelf. Textile retail does not work that way — and the gap is exactly where the money leaks.

Whitetags, designs and variants — not just SKUs

A design arrives, is tagged, moves to a floor, goes out for fall-and-pico or embroidery, comes back at a different cost, gets selected by a customer, and may return. ambar 27 tracks the piece through all of it: design and variant masters, attribute combinations, size, warehouse, whitetag planner and per-piece barcode history.

  • Design, main / sub / detailed category hierarchies
  • Attribute combinations and variant creation from a parent design
  • Whitetag issue, planner and image-wise whitetag views
  • Bulk category, HSN and price updaters for seasonal re-tagging

Karigar jobwork and value addition, costed properly

Issue material against a gatepass, track it with the job worker, receive it partially or fully, and let the added cost land on the piece — so margin reports tell the truth. Pickup jobworks, manual jobworks and value additions each carry their own open, partial and closed states.

  • Job worker master with per-worker outstanding stock
  • Open / partially received / closed tracking on every issue
  • Value addition cost posted to the item, not a lump-sum expense head
  • Zari purity testing recorded area-wise, per barcode, with full history

Money moves through a chain of custody

Counter cash goes to the cashier, cashier to manager, manager to bank — each hop is a recorded, reconciled document. Cheques live in registers with books, templates and deposit tracking. Card machine settlements are matched against bank credits. Nothing depends on a diary.

  • Counter settlements, cashier balance and close-day with history
  • Cheque books, register, deposits, outgoing cheques and print templates
  • Card machine masters and settlement matching
  • Bank statement import, bank transactions and reconciliation

Approvals before money leaves, not after

Payment, receipt, expense, income and TDS planners put every outflow through a draft → approve → pay lifecycle with the ledger, amount and reason attached. Owners see what is pending; auditors see who approved what and when.

  • Payment, receipt, expense, income and TDS planners with draft/approved states
  • Discount planner and discount groups so counter discretion has a ceiling
  • Per-role, per-action permissions plus separate report-access control
  • Application-wide activity log, with TOTP two-factor on login
Fits your existing stack

It talks to what you already run.

ambar 27 replaces the billing and operations layer. It does not ask you to abandon your CA's Tally file, your bank, or your card machines.

Tally

Configurable ledger mapping for sales, purchase, GST and expense heads, with XML voucher export and a helper for period-wise pushes.

GSTN & NIC

IRN e-invoice generation with signed QR, e-way bill generate and cancel, and GSTR-2A / 2B download for reconciliation.

WhatsApp Business

Send invoices, payment receipts, statements and campaign messages as templated documents from inside the workflow.

Razorpay

Collect online payments and reconcile the credits against customer ledgers and card settlements.

Barcode & thermal

Barcode label design and reprint, QZ Tray direct printing, and thermal templates for invoice, credit, advance and selection slips.

Face attendance

A native face-recognition service registers employee profiles and marks attendance without a separate biometric vendor.

Bank statements

Import statements, match against transactions, and drive reconciliation inside the same ledger.

Live updates

Pusher-backed real-time channels keep counters, cashiers and managers on the same numbers without refreshing.

Deployment

Live in weeks, not quarters.

ambar 27 is a deployed product, not a build-from-scratch project. Most of the implementation time goes into your masters and your opening balances, because the software is already written.

Discovery and scoping

We walk your floors and your books: counters, warehouses, tax profile, cheque practice, jobwork flow, and who is allowed to approve what.

Masters and migration

Categories, designs, suppliers, customers, ledgers, opening balances and live stock are imported and reconciled against your existing books.

Parallel run

You bill on ambar 27 alongside your current system for a defined period, with daily tie-outs on sales, stock and cash until the numbers match.

Cutover and handover

Role-wise training by function, printed SOPs for counter and cashier, then a support window with the same team that implemented it.

The short version

If it happened in the store, it is in the system — and in the ledger the same second.

That is the whole design goal. Everything else in ambar 27 follows from it.
