IRD Verified Softwares in Nepal
Nepal government has made use of IRD [inland Revenue Department] verified billing software mandatory in organizations that have transactions [purchase and sales] above ten crores [10,00,00,000]. In the official website of the Nepal government the list of IRD verified the softwares are available to choose from. The overwhelming list contains 553 softwares as per this day with no further details. In this post, we will explore some starting from the software used by the Giant Bhat-Bhateni Super Market that accounts for sole transaction of above 600 crores per year.
IMS Software:
Widely used among the department stores all over the country, ims has strong presence and big clients to show off. The growth is not possible without i) better user-interface ii) the quality of service and iii) the team that builds the system and supports it. The organization provides you with support phone number 01-5970124 sectored by 1.KTM Valley 2.The guy picked up the phone 3. Butwal. The KTM office handles the KTM valley services and Narayanghat, Butwal is looked after by the team from Butwal Office. I personally have used IMS for over a year now, so I rate it 3.5* out of 5. It will earn the remaining 1.5 after :
i) it updates the backend to realtime which does-not requires closing and opening of the application
ii) the barcode search lands to the exact product instead of another one.
iii) supports the save short cut (cltr+s) while editing and saving a product form product master.
iv) allows removing barcode of items by admin user instead of drilling to the database and writing database queries.
v) adds video learning tutorials via which one can train new recruits as I had to developed my own for our clients.
Other than that ims is almost perfect for any vendors for buying and selling but not production.
‼️ Remember to partner with Siddhartha Bank to get huge *%* off on the software price.
BUSY:
Busy has a lot to offer in fraction of the price of its competitors. It has user interface somewhat similar to that of TALLY, so if you happen to had some skills then you are fine. other wise you need some instructions to follow along to get the job done. Busy has made playlist of videos describing all the know hows and the video tutorials are embedded inside the software itself. Moreover, it has a working production feature that supports BOM [Bills of Materials]. Making it suitable to small production houses, midsized factories, and packaging industries. Download the free copy, play with it, follow some video lessons till you get the hang of it. If you want this we will supply the software and guide you through the IRD verification process along with one year free remote support via whatsapp, phone calls and Anydesk.

Swastik:
Been in the accounting software business for years, Swastik has been used by hundreds of clients in Nepal. It offers wide variety of services relating but not limited to accounting software. I had a conversation with one of the users that was having services from the Chitwan branch, after listening to his complains in that long recorded phone call which I made to inform him about the error in the invoice that had same item listed twice with different rates. He may have complained to cover up his shortcoming as I have seen many many clients using the software for years without much of complains.
So how do you choose one from the looooooooong list provided by the IRD department ?! well well, you got us

I was about to talk about ERP's softwares as well that are verified by IRD whose cost starts from 15 Lakhs + 15% on yearly occurring service/ support charge. But the post is too long for now. In the next post we shall talk about the softwares used by Multinational Organizations that make you wonder why pay soooooO much amount of money just for a software.
Lastly, BigMart uses it own software imported from india which is not made available to any of us to use.
