For khaad and dawai shops

Pesticide and fertilizer dealer POS software built for Pakistan

AgroPOS is pesticide fertilizer dealer POS software made for shops in Pakistan — batch-wise stock with expiry dates, a farmer udhaar ledger that totals itself, and billing that keeps working when the light goes. Not a general retail till with "agriculture" added to the name.

A register costs a khaad-dawai shop more than it saves

Three things happen in every agri-input shop that runs on a copy and a calculator, and a dealer can usually name all three without being asked.

  • Stock expires before anyone notices. A carton at the back reaches its date, and you find out when a customer reads the label — or when an inspector does.
  • Udhaar does not fully come back. The register is written honestly and totalled once, in a bad week after harvest, by which time nobody remembers who was given what in March.
  • The season-end count does not match the book. The difference is real money, and there is no way to find where it went.

AgroPOS is a POS, inventory and credit ledger built for agri-input dealers in Pakistan — AgroPOS agriculture POS & ERP, developed by Innobrains Technologies in Pakistan. It is Windows software for your own counter, not a website you rent by the month.

Batch and expiry tracking, because you sell batches — not products

Two bottles of the same insecticide can carry different batch numbers, different expiry dates and different purchase rates. General billing software treats them as one line of stock, and that is where the losses begin. This is what pesticide shop inventory software has to get right before anything else.

  • Batch number, expiry date, pack size, purchase rate and supplier recorded at purchase.
  • Selling takes stock from the earliest-expiring batch first, so older goods move before they become a write-off.
  • Expired batches are blocked at the till — a cashier cannot sell one by mistake.
  • Expiry alerts on the dashboard, with however many days' warning you choose, so near-date stock can go back to the company while it is still returnable.

The regulatory side matters too: selling expired or unregistered pesticide is an offence under the rules the Punjab Agriculture Department enforces, and a dealer licence is not worth risking over a carton nobody looked at. Each product also carries its registration number, technical name and formulation code, which are the fields an inspector actually reads.

Khaad by the bori: urea, DAP, SOP and bag stock

Half the trade is not in bottles. A khaad shop counts in boris, buys against company allocations, and lives through two demand spikes a year that have nothing to do with expiry dates.

AgroPOS handles bag stock the same way it handles litres and millilitres — the unit is part of the product, so a 50 kg urea bag, a 50 kg DAP bag and a 25 kg SOP pack each price and count in their own terms. Sell three boris and the stock drops by three, not by 150.

  • Rate per bag, not per kilo. You buy and sell in the unit the trade actually uses, so the rate on the bill is the rate you quoted and the margin needs no arithmetic to check.
  • Fertiliser, micronutrient and organic fertiliser are separate product types, so a stock report or an inspection register can be filtered to just khaad without the spray lines mixed in.
  • Company-wise purchase accounts. Urea from one company, DAP from another, and each with its own running payable — see purchases and supplier accounts below.
  • The season shows in the numbers. Sales by month and profit by product tell you what actually moved through the rabi sowing window and what sat, so the next allocation is a decision rather than a guess.

Most agri-input shops in Punjab and Sindh sell all three — dawai, khaad and beej — off one counter. That is one product list, one khata per farmer and one day-end total in AgroPOS, not three systems that have to be reconciled at the end of the season.

A farmer udhaar ledger that totals itself

Credit is not a feature in this trade, it is the trade. The udhaar ledger is built around how it really runs — goods in March, money after the crop is sold.

  • Every customer has a running balance, an optional credit limit and a full history of bills and payments. The till warns before a sale pushes someone past their limit — the only moment a warning is any use.
  • A credit receipt prints the previous balance, this bill's credit and the new total, so the customer leaves holding the same figure you have.
  • Payments settle against the oldest unpaid invoices first, and anything paid over the balance is held as an advance against the next purchase.
  • Recovery Management lists everyone who owes, sorted by amount, with their whole history one click away.

Billing that keeps working when the light goes

Load-shedding and a dead line are not edge cases in a mandi town; they are Tuesday. Billing, stock, ledgers and reports all run on your own PC — the internet is used three times only: to activate the licence once, to upload cloud backups, and to download updates.

  • Thermal receipts (58 mm and 80 mm) and A4 invoices from the same sale. Set a printer once and every bill prints itself — no dialog to click through at a busy counter.
  • Barcode scanning, and search by brand, company or technical name — type "chlorpyrifos" and every brand of it in stock comes up, not just the label you remembered.
  • Customer names, villages and product names can be entered in Urdu and are stored and displayed correctly.

Purchases, suppliers and company accounts

Fertilizer shop billing software is only half the job; the other half is what you owe upstream. Purchases are recorded per company — Engro, FFC, Fauji, Syngenta, FMC — against the batch that arrived, with a running payable balance and full payment history for each supplier. Payments can be back-dated, so one you made last week is entered on the day you made it. Khaad is counted in bags, kg, maunds or litres, the way it is actually sold.

Reports the owner actually reads

  • Daily summary — cash in, credit given, expenses, closing position.
  • Stock valuation, low-stock reorder list, and what is moving against what is sitting.
  • Profit and loss statement for any period — sales, less returns, less cost of goods, less expenses by category, with the net profit and its margin. A loss shows as a loss.
  • Profit by product, ranked by what each line earns rather than by turnover, using the real purchase rate of the batch that was sold.
  • Bank accounts with money in and out, a running balance on every entry, back-dated entries and a PDF statement — kept separate from sales and purchases.
  • The seven Agriculture Department inspection registers, on your letterhead with your dealer licence number — and without your purchase prices, because the inspector needs the record, not your margins.

Built for Pakistani dealers, not adapted for them

Search for agri input shop software and most of what comes back is Indian. It is capable software, and it is built for a different shop: GST modules you will never file, prices in rupees that are not yours, and support in a time zone that is not much help on a Saturday morning in Jhang.

  • PKR pricing — Rs. 30,000 one-time for one PC, not a subscription that grows every year.
  • Urdu-speaking support on the same phone number that answers WhatsApp, from a company you can visit.
  • No GST clutter. The tax fields are the ones you actually use.
  • The Agriculture Department registers, which no imported software has heard of.
  • Udhaar built around the harvest cycle, not generic "credit management".

AgroPOS is made in Jhang, Punjab, by Innobrains Technologies. The people who wrote it have sat behind these counters.

Register, khata app, general POS, or this

Four things a khaad-dawai dealer might use. They are not really rivals — each answers a different question, and most dealers discover which one they needed only after buying the wrong one.

What each one does for an agri-input shop
What the shop needs Paper register Khata app General shop POS AgroPOS
Batch and expiry per item Written by hand, if at all No — it counts money, not stock Usually one expiry per product, not per batch Every batch has its own expiry; the earliest sells first and expired stock is blocked
Selling in boris and bottles Whatever you write Not applicable Often one unit per product Bag, litre, ml, kg, packet — the unit belongs to the product
Farmer udhaar khata The register — until a page is disputed Yes, this is what they are for Basic; usually one balance, no bill-by-bill history Running balance, credit limit warning, payments settled oldest bill first, printable statement
Company-wise purchase accounts A second register No Rarely Per company, against the batch that arrived, with a running payable
Agriculture Department registers Copied out by hand before a visit No No The seven records, printed on your own letterhead
Works with no internet Yes, obviously Usually needs a connection Depends — many are cloud-only Yes. Billing, stock, ledgers and reports all run on the shop’s own PC
Profit that accounts for what you paid Worked out at the end of the season, roughly No Sales totals, not costed profit Costed at the rate each batch was actually bought at
Cost A few hundred rupees of registers Free or a small monthly fee Monthly, per user, usually PKR 30,000 once, one PC, no monthly fee

The honest summary: a khata app is better than a register for credit alone and costs nothing, so if udhaar is your only problem, start there. A general POS bills faster than paper and will do for a shop with no expiry dates and no inspector. Neither carries batch expiry, company accounts or the Agriculture Department registers, because they were not built for this trade — and that is the whole reason this one exists.

What it takes to get started

Three steps, and most shops are billing on the same day.

  1. Trial or demo. Download the 14-day free trial — the complete software, nothing switched off — or ask for a walkthrough on WhatsApp.
  2. Setup. Your product list, opening stock and customer balances go in. Old balances can be entered as one figure per customer rather than re-typing years of history.
  3. Training. Included, on-site or remote, in Urdu. The setup guide is also written in Urdu and stays on the shop PC for whoever sits at the counter next.

What you need: any Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop (64-bit), and a thermal printer if you want receipts. A barcode scanner is optional — most dealers search by name. The billing itself is counter software on Windows; a free read-only Android app comes with the licence for seeing the khata, recovery and stock when you are away from the shop.

What it costs: Rs. 30,000 one-time, one licence per PC. No monthly fee.

Questions dealers ask before buying

Does AgroPOS work without internet?

Yes. Billing, stock, ledgers and reports all run on the shop's own PC, so a load-shedding hour or a dead DSL line does not stop the counter. The connection is used three times only: once to activate the licence, to upload cloud backups, and to download updates.

Can I keep a farmer udhaar khata in it?

Yes. Every customer has a running balance, an optional credit limit and a full history of every bill and payment. The till warns before a sale pushes someone past their limit, and payments settle against the oldest unpaid invoices first. Recovery Management lists everyone who owes, so nothing waits for the season to end before anyone totals it.

Does it handle batch numbers and expiry dates?

Yes, and this is the part a general POS gets wrong. Stock is held per batch — batch number, expiry date, pack size, purchase rate and supplier. Selling takes from the earliest-expiring batch first, expired batches are blocked at the till, and the dashboard warns you before stock reaches its date.

Can I search by the chemical instead of the brand?

Yes. Each product carries its technical (active ingredient) name, and searching for "chlorpyrifos" shows every brand of it you have in stock, not just the one whose label you remembered.

Does it show me my profit?

Yes. Reports opens on a profit and loss statement for any period: sales, less returns, less what the goods cost you, less your expenses by category, and the net profit with its margin. The cost is the rate each batch was actually bought at, so a figure from last season does not shift when a new delivery arrives dearer. A profit-by-product view ranks lines by what they earn rather than by turnover — which is usually not the same order.

Can I keep my bank accounts in it?

Yes, and they are kept separate from the rest of the software on purpose. Add every account the shop uses, record money in and out, and print a PDF statement with a running balance beside each entry. Entries can be dated back. No sale or purchase writes to a bank account, so the figures stay yours to match against the real statement.

Can I use it on more than one counter?

Yes. AgroPOS Multi-Counter runs two or three tills in the same shop on one licence — Rs 50,000 for two counters, Rs 70,000 for three, Rs 20,000 for each counter after that. One PC is the main counter and holds the data; the others connect to it over your own shop LAN, and every counter bills at the same time against one stock file, one khata and one bill-number sequence. The single-counter licence at Rs 30,000 stays the right choice for a shop that bills from one machine.

Is there Urdu support?

The setup guide and training are in Urdu, and customer names, village names and product names can be typed in Urdu and are stored and shown correctly. The printed invoice layout itself is English with Urdu text where you have entered it.

Does it keep stock company-wise — Syngenta, FMC, Engro, FFC?

Yes. Every product carries its company, and purchases are recorded per company against the batch that arrived, each with its own running payable. You can see what you owe each company, what you have bought from them this season, and which of their lines actually earned rather than just moved.

Can I use it on my phone as well as the PC?

Billing is Windows counter software. A single licence runs one PC; the Multi-Counter edition runs two or three tills on one licence. There is also a free Android companion app, AgroPOS Mobile, which shows your customers, their khata, recovery, suppliers and stock when you are away from the shop, and sends any customer their account statement as a PDF. It is read-only: the phone can show the figures but never change them, and every sale is still made at the counter.

How is this different from a general shop POS?

A general POS sells "one bottle of Lorsban". An agri-input shop sells a batch of Lorsban, expiring in March, bought at one rate from one company, on udhaar until the wheat is sold. AgroPOS is built around batches, credit and the Agriculture Department registers; a general till has none of those and no amount of configuration adds them.

What does it cost, and is there a trial?

Rs. 30,000 one-time for a single counter, or Rs. 50,000–70,000 for two or three counters on one licence — not a monthly subscription. There is a 14-day free trial of the complete software with nothing switched off, so you can enter a real day of purchases and sales before deciding.

Can I move my existing stock and customer list into it?

Yes. Opening balances for customers and suppliers can be entered as one figure each, and expenses from before AgroPOS can go in as a single dated total. Setup and training are included, on-site or remote.

See it on your own counter

No stock expiring unnoticed. Udhaar that is totalled every day instead of once a season. A closing count that matches the book. That is the whole promise of pesticide fertilizer dealer POS software, and the only way to judge it is on your own products.

Install the trial, enter one real day of purchases and sales, and print an inspection register to see whether it matches what your department asks for.
