Calventory — Inventory & Accounts Software

Calventory is our own inventory and accounts software, built in Dhaka for wholesale businesses in Bangladesh — hardware, building materials, agro-vet, and distributors who sell on credit and get paid later. It runs on a computer and on an Android phone, in Bengali, and it is the product most of the businesses we work with came to us for.

Who it is for

A shop that buys and resells in volume, keeps party accounts, and lives or dies on how much of last month's sales has actually been collected. If your stock moves faster than your paperwork, and the real position of the business is spread across a register, a spreadsheet and someone's memory, this is the problem Calventory was written to solve.

It is not built for a single retail counter, and it is not a general-purpose accounting package with a stock module bolted on. It is a wholesale system: challan and invoice, party ledger and receivables, purchase and stock, and the profit-and-loss that falls out of all three.

What it costs to keep doing it by hand

The expensive part is never the bookkeeping. It is the decisions made without it.

Money you have already earned and cannot name. Nearly every wholesale business we have worked with was owed more than the owner thought, and could not say by whom without an afternoon of adding up. A ledger that is always current turns collection from a memory exercise into a list.

Stock that stopped selling months ago. Dead stock does not announce itself. It sits, quietly holding capital, and it looks exactly like stock until someone compares what is on the shelf against what actually moved.

A month-end that arrives as a surprise. If the profit figure only appears weeks after the month closes, it is history, not information. By then whatever caused it has been repeated four more times.

None of that requires software to notice — it requires software to notice it on time.

The depth is the point

Anyone can show you a stock list. What separates a system you keep from one you abandon after three months is whether it answers the questions you actually ask.

Calventory ships 31 built-in reports, and they exist because customers asked for them one at a time over several years: party balances and group balances, customer follow-up and paid-versus-due, top collection and top customers, stock against sales, negative stock, reorder levels, margin on sales, item statements, daily cash, bank and cash summaries, monthly balances, the balance sheet and the income statement.

It also carries the parts of a real business that most inventory software ignores:

• NBR Mushak 6.3 tax challan generated to the gazette form — including the eleven-column table that is routinely printed with ten. We worked the legal basis out from the VAT Act and rules rather than copying someone else's template.
• Multiple branches under one business, with stock, accounts and reporting kept straight per branch and consolidated when you want the whole picture.
• HR — attendance pulled from an attendance device, salary profiles, salary sheets and payables, employee ID cards.
• SMS to customers, so a due reminder does not depend on someone remembering to call.
• An Android app — the real application, not a mobile website: fingerprint login, camera capture, notifications, and it updates itself.

How we work

Software only pays off once the staff use it. So the first thing we do is not install anything; it is sit with your existing numbers.

We load your item list, your opening stock and your outstanding party balances, so that on day one the system shows your business rather than an empty template. Then we train the people who will actually run it — not the owner alone, which is the single most common reason a rollout stalls. Then we stay reachable, and you run the old method alongside the new one for as long as it takes to trust the numbers.

That changeover is a service in its own right, and most of our customers arrive needing it — see moving from Tally, Excel or paper.

Support comes from the people who wrote it

When you call about Calventory, you reach the engineers who build it. Not a ticket queue, not a reseller, not a support tier that escalates to someone who will call you back.

That is a deliberate constraint on how large we let the customer base grow relative to the team, and it is the reason improvements arrive steadily: the person who hears the complaint is the person who can fix it, and the fix reaches everyone.

Seeing it for yourself

The honest answer to "can I try it" is that a demo is worth more than a screenshot tour, because the first question anyone asks is how would this handle my stock, my parties, my way of doing challan — and that is a conversation, not a feature list.

Get in touch and we will walk you through it on your own numbers. If you would rather look before you speak, the Calventory page on Facebook carries screens and updates.
