A Refrens alternative for shops & traders

Yes for shops and traders that want an offline desktop suite with billing, inventory, GST and accounting, and local data.

Yes — live stock with valuation and COGS, wired into billing.

Yes — everything runs on your machine.

GST invoices, quotes & orders, inventory & COGS, double-entry books & GST returns, receivables & outstanding, deterministic AI insights and encrypted local backups, and 1 more. Every item on that list is a working screen you can open in the trial rather than a capability described in the abstract.

It rests on invoicing + inventory, real accounting and offline & private. The distinction that matters is that these are structural rather than cosmetic — the behaviour is built into how records are posted, not layered on as a report you have to remember to run.

Yes, and that is the whole reason it lives in this product rather than beside it. What invoicing + inventory records lands in the same posted double-entry ledger the Trial Balance, P&L and GST returns are built from — so there is no second set of alternative · invoicing numbers to reconcile against the first.

It feeds it directly rather than sitting alongside it. CGST/SGST and IGST are split from HSN or SAC and place of supply as each document is raised, so whatever alternative · invoicing produces is already correct when GSTR-1, 3B and 2B reconciliation are drawn off the same books. The return matches the accounts because it was never a separate exercise.

No. Alternative · invoicing is part of the accounting core rather than a paid add-on, so real accounting is there on the entry tier exactly as it is on the highest one. What the tiers change is reach and depth — devices, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on.

Yes — 14 days, no card. Test alternative · invoicing against your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data: the questions worth answering here are about your business's edge cases, and a demo dataset is built not to have any.

None of the figures. Everything invoicing + inventory produces is computed by tested engines and would be identical with the model switched off — what AI contributes is the sentence around a number and the routing that brings the right one to your attention. Nothing it writes posts to your books without your approval.
