SaloonERP in India

Our head office and the desk that answers support. Thirty-six states and union territories, one GSTIN per registration, and the only market where writing a number correctly means writing it as 1,29,679.37.

What a workspace in India 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.

GSTIN—— 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 India

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

GST at more than one rate on one bill

A cut and a bottle of shampoo do not carry the same rate, and in India they routinely appear on the same ticket. Every line holds its own rate in basis points, so that bill needs no workaround — and the tax report groups turnover by the rate it was charged at.

Numbers that look right to an Indian reader

Amounts group in lakhs, not thousands. This is not a cosmetic detail: a monthly figure printed as 129,679.37 instead of 1,29,679.37 is the first thing that tells an owner the software was built somewhere else.

Chains, and the clocks in them

A branch keeps its own address, phone, timezone and opening hours for each day of the week. India is one timezone, so the clock matters less here than the per-day hours do — Sunday trading differs from Tuesday in almost every salon we have seen.

The week, as India 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 India 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.

The week opens on Sunday

Not Monday. A weekly report that quietly starts on Monday puts your busiest day at the wrong end of the week and makes every week-on-week comparison an hour of argument.

The financial year opens on 1 April

Software that assumes January runs your year-end three months early. The product carries the right date for India; see the limits below for what it does not yet do with it.

GSTIN belongs on the invoice

Not in a settings screen nobody prints. It is stored once and printed on invoices when set, labelled GSTIN because the country says so rather than because someone typed that string.

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.

No e-invoicing or IRN generation

GST e-invoicing applies above a turnover threshold that has come down repeatedly. If your registration is in scope, this product does not register invoices with the IRP or carry an IRN, and you should not plan around it doing so.

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 India

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 India?

Yes. Choosing India as the country sets the workspace to Indian Rupee (INR) at 2 decimal places, names the sales tax "GST" and the registration "GSTIN", opens the week on Sunday and the financial year on 1 April. None of that is configuration you do yourself.

What tax does SaloonERP handle in India?

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 GST return asks for. Your GSTIN is stored once and prints on invoices. Tax you pay to suppliers is not tracked.

Do you have an office in India?

Yes — that is one of our two offices, and it answers the phone.

Is SaloonERP compliant with India's invoicing requirements?

No e-invoicing or IRN generation. GST e-invoicing applies above a turnover threshold that has come down repeatedly. If your registration is in scope, this product does not register invoices with the IRP or carry an IRN, and you should not plan around it doing so.

Can one SaloonERP account cover India 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 India you can run as many branches as you like, each with its own address, phone, timezone and opening hours.

What does SaloonERP cost in India?

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 INR and we will give you one.
