Day one

What a workspace in Bhutan is set to before you touch it

Choose the country and the rest follows. None of these are typed in by you, and none of them are typed in by us either — they come from the same reference table the product uses to localise a live workspace.

Tax number—— set in settings

A bill with this market’s symbol, decimal places, tax wording and registration label. The rate shown is an example; the labels are not.

Why it fits here

What this does for a salon in Bhutan

Three things that are true of this market specifically, rather than three things that would be true of anywhere.

Parity with the rupee, without pretending it is the rupee

The ngultrum holds parity with the Indian rupee and both circulate. The workspace is BTN with its own code, so your books say ngultrum even where the notes in the drawer say otherwise.

Built for the size you actually are

One or two chairs and one location is the common shape here. Nothing in the product requires a second branch, a rota or a tax registration before it is useful.

A Monday week

Bhutan opens its week on Monday, unlike most of its neighbours, and the product carries that rather than assuming a regional default.

The week, as Bhutan opens it

Three different answers appear across the markets we serve — Sunday, Monday and Saturday — so the product stores the day rather than assuming it.

The financial year

Where imported software breaks

What gets Bhutan wrong

Every one of these is something a product built for somewhere else assumes, and every one of them is visible to your staff on the first day rather than to your accountant in month nine.

Regional defaults are wrong here

Software that groups Bhutan with India gets the week start wrong and the currency code wrong. They are carried separately because the country table treats them separately.

Cross-border pricing

Products bought in India and sold in Thimphu still need a margin that makes sense in ngultrum. Prices are held in the workspace currency, so what you set is what is charged.

Connectivity is not always there

This is a hosted product and it needs a connection. That is a real constraint worth knowing before you plan around it.

Turnover by Tax rate

Each line on a bill carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates on one ticket stay separable all the way to the report.

What it does not do here

The parts we are not going to pretend about

Nothing is illustrated in this section, because there is nothing here to sell. These are the reasons a salon in this market might be right to say no.

Generic tax vocabulary

Our country table has specific tax names for most of this region — GSTIN, BIN, NTN, PAN — but falls back to "Tax" and "Tax number" for Bhutan. Correct, and blander than it should be. It is a table entry, and we will fix it if you are here.

Tax you pay is not tracked, only tax you charge

Expenses record a gross amount and no rate, so the software cannot tell you your input tax. The report gives you output tax properly — turnover and tax by month, and turnover grouped by rate — and your accountant supplies the other half.

Reports run on dates, not on your financial year

The product knows when your year opens and shows it, but nothing defaults to it yet. You pick the dates. That is a small annoyance where the year opens on 1 January and a real one where it does not.

One workspace is one country

Country, currency and registration belong to the workspace, not the branch. A group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side and consolidates outside the product.

Straight answers

Common questions about SaloonERP in Bhutan

Every answer here is also marked up for search engines. They are the same words either way — describing the product one way to a reader and another way to a crawler is the oldest trick on this list and we are not doing it.

Does SaloonERP work for salons in Bhutan?

Yes. Choosing Bhutan as the country sets the workspace to Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN) at 2 decimal places, names the sales tax "Tax" and the registration "Tax number", opens the week on Monday and the financial year on 1 January. None of that is configuration you do yourself.

What tax does SaloonERP handle in Bhutan?

Every service, product and bill line carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates can appear on one ticket and the report groups taxable turnover by the rate it was charged at — the shape a Tax return asks for. Your Tax number is stored once and prints on invoices. Tax you pay to suppliers is not tracked.

Do you have an office in Bhutan?

No. Our two offices are in Nagpur and Kathmandu, and support for Bhutan runs from Nagpur. We would rather say that than imply a local team.

Is SaloonERP compliant with Bhutan's invoicing requirements?

Generic tax vocabulary. Our country table has specific tax names for most of this region — GSTIN, BIN, NTN, PAN — but falls back to "Tax" and "Tax number" for Bhutan. Correct, and blander than it should be. It is a table entry, and we will fix it if you are here.

Can one SaloonERP account cover Bhutan and another country?

No. Country, currency and tax registration belong to the workspace rather than the branch, so a group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side. Within Bhutan you can run as many branches as you like, each with its own address, phone, timezone and opening hours.

What does SaloonERP cost in Bhutan?

List prices are published in Nepali rupees on our pricing page and start at Rs 2,500 a month, with a fourteen-day trial and no card required. Ask us for a quote in BTN and we will give you one.

Salons, spas, barbershops, beauty parlours and nail bars in Bhutan all run the same way here — a chair, a queue, a bill and a till. Whatever it is called where you are, this is the same product.
