Case study overview

TexBill

Offline-first billing software

Completed

The business need

Small retailers cannot afford for billing to stop when an internet connection drops, and many do not want their records locked behind a recurring cloud subscription.

What I built

Designed TexBill as a locally owned, Windows-based retail counter: data stays on the shop computer, billing works offline, backups are controlled by the owner, and cloud access is optional rather than required.

Built for

Independent shops and small retail chains in India—especially textile, grocery, pharmacy, electronics, jewellery, hardware, footwear, bakery, and general retail businesses.

Core capabilities

Fast counter billing with item codes, holds, discounts, returns, exchanges, and part payments

Cash, UPI, card, and bank-payment support with register opening and closing

GST-aware invoices with CGST, SGST, IGST, and place-of-supply handling

Stock variants, low-stock warnings, existing-barcode support, and A4 or thermal label printing

Customers, dues, store credit, and automatic retail, wholesale, or reseller pricing

Supplier purchases and weighted-average cost for meaningful profit reporting

Sales, profit, tax, staff, and product reports with Excel export

Staff roles, bill attribution, and restricted access to cost, refunds, and price changes

Multi-counter operation on a shop’s local network and multi-shop owner visibility

Nine business configurations and 24-country tax/currency support

Product line

TexBill Desktop

The Windows shop counter: fully offline and licensed for one PC.

TexBill Cloud

An optional off-site backup and view-only owner dashboard add-on.

Product boundaries

Desktop is Windows-only; the mobile product is Android-only.

Thermal receipt and label printing require compatible printers.

Multi-counter is designed for one shop’s local network.

It produces GST invoices and GSTR-1 data, rather than replacing full accounting software.
