We watched great businesses
run on terrible software.
Most Indian textile and retail businesses manage ₹1Cr+ operations on Excel, WhatsApp, and a Tally licence the accountant touches once a quarter. We thought they deserved better.
Focused, not bloated
Every form should be obvious. Every voucher should post in one click. If a feature makes things more complex without a proportional payoff, we don't ship it.
Compliance is plumbing
GST splits, TDS thresholds, HSN codes — handled in the background so you focus on running the shop. We pay GST ourselves; we know how much it matters to get it right.
Your data is yours
Export everything, any time. No lock-in, no 90-day notice periods. We earn your business month-to-month — and that keeps us honest.
Built in India
Decisions made by people who trade in rupees, file GST returns, and have argued with a CA about TDS thresholds. Not a port of a product designed for VAT in the UK.
Why we started
Most SMBs in India still run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and a Tally licence the accountant uses once a quarter. The international SaaS options are either too generic for GST, priced like enterprise tools, or both. Ambar is a focused attempt at the middle ground: software that respects how Indian businesses actually trade — multi-branch, GST splits, batched stock, TDS, returns, barcode counter sales — while feeling as fast and modern as the apps you use everywhere else.
The newest addition — online store
The big new thing: every product in your Ambar inventory can go live on a branded storefront — linked directly, no sync — so textile businesses that only sold walk-in can now sell across India. Category filters by Fabric, Occasion, and Weave. Cart to COD order to GST invoice in one click.
Where we're headed
This year: e-invoice push, bank reconciliation, Razorpay online payments in the store, and a barcode label printer for textile counter sales. After that: an API for shopfloor integrations and a mobile companion for sales reps on the road.
If any of this sounds useful, give Ambar a try — or drop us a line and tell us what's missing.
