1. How to log in

↑ Top
  1. Open your product link (for example bizsuite.digitsparx.com/hardwarepro/).
  2. Enter your Business ID – Digit Sparx gives it to you (for the demo: demo-hardwarepro).
  3. Enter Username and Password → Login. Press the 👁 eye button to see the password.
  4. Want to try the demo? Press "Fill demo login" on the login page – admin / admin123 is filled in for you.
  5. After 5 wrong passwords, login is paused for 15 minutes (for security).
Tip: Never share your password. Create a separate user for each staff member.

2. First-day setup (only once)

↑ Top
  1. Open Business Settings: shop name, address, phone, GSTIN, state, logo, bank / UPI details and bill terms → Save. All of this prints on every bill.
  2. Create Categories + Brands – for example "Mobiles", "Accessories" or "Starters".
  3. Add your items / products (see the product section below).
  4. Add Suppliers and your existing Customers. If a customer already owes money, enter it as Opening balance.
  5. Create separate logins for staff in Users & Roles (Manager, Cashier…). Each role only sees the pages it needs.

3. Products and units (bundle / coil / box)

↑ Top
  1. Products → Add: base unit (pcs / mtr / bag / ltr), size, material, GST.
  2. Add a bigger unit in Units & Conversions or on the product page: 1 bundle = 10 pcs, 1 coil = 90 m, 1 box = 20 pcs, with its rate.
  3. Stock is always kept in the small unit – sell 1 bundle and the software reduces 10 pcs.

4. Quotation → Challan → Bill

↑ Top
  1. Quotations → New: customer, items (in any unit), rate → Print / WhatsApp.
  2. Sending goods to site first: Delivery Challans → New (stock reduces).
  3. Open the quotation / challan → Convert to invoice. A bill made from a challan does not reduce stock again.

5. Contractor credit

↑ Top
  1. Enter a credit limit on the customer. Customers & Credit shows dues; receive money in Payments → Receive.
  2. Stock & Valuation: value of goods in the godown (at purchase rate).

6. Payments, credit (khata) and advances

↑ Top
  1. While billing choose the payment mode: Cash, UPI, Card, Bank, Cheque. Part cash + part UPI? Press "Split payment".
  2. Not fully paid? Enter what you received – the rest becomes credit (udhaar). A customer must be selected; walk-in customers must pay in full.
  3. Money received later: Payments → Receive → choose customer / bill → amount → Save. The receipt number is automatic.
  4. Customer paid an advance: Payments → Receive → do not choose a bill (on account). On the next bill tick "Use advance / credit".
  5. Use the WhatsApp reminder button on the customer page to remind them about dues.

7. Wrong bill, returns and cancellation

↑ Top
  1. A saved bill is never deleted (GST rule). If there is a mistake, open the bill → "Cancel document" → write the reason.
  2. If the bill already has a payment, first Void that payment in Payments, then cancel the bill.
  3. Customer returns goods: open the bill → "Return items (credit note)" → quantity returned → refund (cash / UPI) or keep as credit. Stock comes back automatically.

8. Print, PDF and WhatsApp

↑ Top
  1. After saving, the bill page opens. Print = A4 print, PDF = download, WhatsApp = message to the customer.
  2. Find an old bill: Invoices → search by name, mobile or bill number.

9. Expenses

↑ Top
  1. Expenses → Add: rent, electricity, salary, tea… Enter date, amount, mode → Save.
Tip: Enter expenses every evening – your month-end report will be correct.

10. Reports – day / week / month / year

↑ Top
  1. Open Reports → choose the report (Sales summary, Item-wise, GST, Collections, Outstanding, Expenses…).
  2. Press Today / This week / This month / This year or enter your own dates.
  3. Collections = how much cash / UPI / card each cashier received – match it with the cash drawer every evening.
  4. Every report has Export CSV – it opens in Excel and can be sent to your CA.
  5. Remember: "Sales" is turnover, not profit. "Profit (estimate)" is only an estimate from purchase prices.

11. Daily routine (checklist)

↑ Top
  1. Morning: log in → check today's sales, dues and alerts on the Dashboard.
  2. During the day: make bills; enter a Purchase when goods arrive.
  3. Evening: Reports → Collections to tally cash, add Expenses.
  4. Once a week: Backup & Restore → "Download backup now" → keep the file on Google Drive / a pen drive.
