Every shopkeeper knows the moment. Five customers at the counter, a festival rush, and the phone shows no signal. With most billing apps that's where billing stops, or worse, where it looks like it worked and didn't.
Karobaar was built for that moment first.
What happens when the internet goes
- You keep billing. The bill saves on the phone straight away, gets its number, and can be printed or shared as a PDF.
- Stock moves. The items come off stock on the phone at once, so the next bill sees the right count.
- Payments and dues work. Collecting money from a customer offline lands on their bills the same way it does online.
- When the signal comes back, everything goes up to the shop's data by itself. Nobody has to press anything or remember anything.
And the app itself opens without internet. If the phone was switched off overnight and the shop opens in a dead zone, Karobaar still loads with yesterday's data.
Bill numbers stay in order
A GST tax invoice needs a running number with no repeats. Online, Karobaar hands out the next number from one shared counter, so two phones billing at the same moment can never get the same one. Offline, the phone continues from the highest number it knows. When it reconnects, the shared counter catches up to it, so the next online bill carries on from there.
The one honest limit
If two phones in the same shop are both offline and both billing at the same time, they can't see each other, so they can pick the same next number. Most shops bill from one counter, and it doesn't happen. If yours runs two counters on a weak signal, it's worth a glance at the numbers when they come back online.
We'd rather write that down than have you find it in March.
