FOR GROWING BUSINESSES IN INDIA

Convert Excel to your own business app, in weeks

We convert Excel sheets, paper registers and WhatsApp follow-ups into a simple web app your team actually uses: custom HR and payroll software, stock and inventory management, CRM and approvals, built around how you already work. For Bangalore businesses, and you own it.

Replace Excel with software

Your business has outgrown its spreadsheets

Salary done by hand

Every month, someone works out attendance, leave, PF, ESI and PT in a sheet. One wrong formula means a wrong salary, or a statutory penalty.

No stock register you trust

Nobody knows exactly what's in the store or what it's worth. Shortages show up only when a site is waiting for material.

Approvals on paper and WhatsApp

Requests, issues and returns get signed on slips and lost in chats. There's no trail of who approved what, or why.

Reports take days

Month-end means stitching sheets together. By the time management sees the numbers, they're already out of date.

Custom HR, payroll, stock & CRM software

One system, with only the modules you need

Start with the sheet that hurts most. Add modules later on the same login, the same portal and the same server.

HR & Payroll

One employee register, daily attendance, leave and a payroll run that calculates itself.

  • Attendance with late, early and site tracking
  • Leave apply, approve and balances
  • PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS
  • Loans, advances and one-click payslips
  • ESIC and salary registers on demand

Stock & Inventory

Know what's in the store, where it went and what it's worth, every day.

  • Inward with supplier, invoice and PO
  • Issue to projects against request forms
  • Returns with a required reason
  • Low-stock alerts and weighted average cost
  • Valuation, consumption and purchase reports

CRM & Leads

Every enquiry in one place, so no lead is lost in a phone or a WhatsApp chat.

  • Shared WhatsApp inbox for your team
  • Leads from WhatsApp, website and walk-ins
  • Pipeline: new, contacted, follow-up, won
  • Assign leads to staff and branches
  • Conversion and lead-source reports

Your Own Workflow

Whatever lives in a sheet today: registers, trackers, approvals, follow-ups.

  • Approval steps with a full audit trail
  • Role-based access: staff, managers, owners
  • Dashboards and exports for your accountant
  • Daily automatic backups
  • Scoped after a free walkthrough

How it works

See it working on your data before you commit

01 · FREE

Show us your sheets

A 30-minute call. You walk us through the Excel files, registers and forms you use today. We tell you honestly what's worth automating.

02 · WEEK 2

Working demo

You click through a working version with your own departments, items and salary structure loaded, not a slide deck.

03 · TEST

Test & train

Your team tests every screen against a written checklist. We train them on-site and hand over a user manual.

04 · LIVE

Go live, with support

Free support after launch, then a monthly support plan for fixes, tweaks and statutory changes like new PT or tax rules.

Why NAMAH

Built fast, owned by you, supported for years

Weeks, not months

AI-assisted development on a proven core means we deliver in weeks what traditional software firms quote months for.

No per-user fees

A one-time setup fee, not a subscription that grows with every employee you add. It runs on a server you control.

No lock-in

Built on Frappe, open-source and used widely across India. You hold the install package and admin logins, and any Frappe developer can take over.

We stay on call

Payroll rules change. A monthly support plan keeps your system correct, backed up and improving.

Own app vs off-the-shelf software

Why build your own instead of subscribing

Ready-made payroll and stock software works for many businesses. If your processes don't fit it, or the per-user fees keep growing, your own app is the alternative.

Questions

Before you ask

How much does it cost?

We quote a fixed price after the free walkthrough, because it depends on which modules you need. It's a one-time setup fee plus a monthly support plan. Over two to three years, that typically costs less than a per-user HR or inventory subscription.

How long does it take?

You see a working demo in about two weeks. Most systems are built in three to four weeks, followed by about two weeks of testing and training with your team.

Where is our data kept?

On a server you control: either a machine at your office or a low-cost cloud server in your name. No third-party SaaS holds your employee or stock data, and it's backed up automatically every day.

We don't have an IT team. Is that a problem?

No. Your staff only use a simple browser portal. We handle setup, backups and updates, and we train your team before go-live.

What if NAMAH isn't around one day?

The system keeps running on your server; nothing switches off. You hold the install package, admin logins and documentation, and because it's built on the open-source Frappe platform, any Frappe developer or IT company can take it over.

Our data is messy. Can we still start?

Yes, and that's normal. We map what's in your sheets, and where there's no record at all, like an untracked store, we give you a simple count sheet to capture opening stock before go-live.

Can you convert our Excel sheets into a web app?

Yes, that is exactly what we do. You show us your sheets, we map the columns, formulas and approvals, and turn them into a web app with logins, one shared database and reports. Your team stops emailing files and works from one live version.

Why not just buy payroll or stock software off the shelf?

You can, and for simple needs it may be enough. Ready-made software usually charges per employee or user and expects you to follow its process. Your own app is built around how your business already works, has no per-user fees and runs on a server you control.

Does the payroll handle PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS?

Yes. The payroll run calculates PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS, including Karnataka Professional Tax, and produces payslips and the ESIC and salary registers. Rates and slabs are kept in settings so they can be updated when rules change, and we set them up with you and your accountant.

Do you work with businesses outside Bangalore?

We are based in Bangalore and can meet Bangalore businesses in person. We also build and support systems remotely for businesses elsewhere in India, with the walkthrough, demo and training done over video calls.
