Bill from every counter, on one local server
Run LekhaPro Desktop as a client–server on your own network. One PC hosts the books; every billing counter and back-office machine shares the same stock, customers and ledger — fully offline.
How it works
One PC runs the server
Install LekhaPro on a main computer and switch on the local server. It holds the single set of books, stock and customers for the whole shop.
Counters connect over LAN
Other machines — billing counters, back office, the owner’s cabin — connect to that server over your local network. No internet required.
Everyone shares live data
Every counter sees the same stock, prices and customers in real time, and every sale posts to one set of books and one GST return.
No internet dependency
The network is local, so billing keeps working even when the broadband is down. The counter never stops.
One stock, one ledger
Shared inventory and a single posted ledger mean no reconciling separate machines at day-end — stock and GST tie out by themselves.
Central control & seats
Roles, permissions and an audit log across all machines. The number of connected counters is set by your plan.

Frequently asked
How many computers can connect?
As many as your plan allows — the connected-machine (seat) count is set by your subscription. One PC acts as the server; the others are billing/back-office clients on the same local network.
Does multi-counter billing need the internet?
No. The client–server setup runs entirely over your local network (LAN), so it works fully offline. You only need the internet for AI features and billing.
Is it hard to set up?
No — install LekhaPro on the main PC, turn on the local server, and point the other machines at it on the same network. Your books, stock and customers are shared instantly.
What if I need access from another city or from home?
LAN client–server is for machines on the same local network. If you need access from anywhere or across branches, use the Cloud edition, which runs the same engine in the browser.
Do all counters share the same GST return and reports?
Yes. Every counter posts to one set of double-entry books, so your Trial Balance, P&L, stock and GSTR-1/3B cover the whole shop — no merging across machines.
Can two counters bill the same item at the same time?
Yes. Every counter works against the same live stock on the server, so both sales post the moment they are saved and the quantity comes down once for each. There is no per-machine stock copy to reconcile later — what counter one sells, counter two sees in real time, and day-end stock is whatever the single set of books says it is.
How does day-end cash-up work with several counters?
There is no merge step. Each sale posts to the single ledger as it is billed, so at closing the shop’s cash and sales totals are already whole — nothing to collect from individual machines and add up. The audit log spans every machine, so when a counter’s drawer is out you can trace exactly what was billed there and by whom.
Can a counter keep billing if the LAN drops or the server PC is down?
No. The server machine holds the single set of books, and the counters are thin clients with nothing local to fall back on — a counter that cannot reach the server waits until it can. In practice that is rare: the LAN is your own cabling inside the shop and is unaffected by broadband outages. If you need a till that queues sales offline and replays them, that is the Cloud edition’s POS, not the LAN setup.
Does each counter get its own receipt printer?
Yes. Silent printing is per machine: each counter prints its 80mm receipt to its own named thermal printer with no dialog, the moment the sale is saved. Counter one’s printer and counter two’s printer are just different named devices — the sale still posts to the same books either way.
Does a back-office PC count against the machine limit?
Yes — the plan counts connected machines, not billing counters. A back-office PC or the owner’s cabin machine connecting to the server takes a seat the same way a counter does, whether it bills or only looks at reports. Size the plan on machines that connect at once: one on the entry plan, two to three on Pro, more on Enterprise.
