MicroBeet brings estimates, invoices, inventory, purchases and accounts into one cloud platform, so your team stops re-typing the same sale in five places.
| Steel bracket, 40mm | 120 | $1,440.00 |
| Hex bolt set | 60 | $540.00 |
| Delivery | 1 | $85.00 |
That is not five jobs. It is one sale, retyped four times. Every retype is a chance for a typo, a forgotten follow-up or a stock count that is off by twelve.
MicroBeet keeps a single record and lets everything else read from it.
Watch one sale travelDrag the clock. Watch a single sale reach your invoices, your shelves, your books and your accountant, without anyone typing it twice.
A client asks for a priceYou send a quote from your phone before they finish the call.
Untouched until the invoice is issued.
Nothing to post yet.
Start with the job that hurts most. The others are already waiting.
Get it out the door
Send a quote, turn it into an invoice with one click and share a secure link your client can open on any phone. Bill big jobs in stages, duplicate last month's invoice in a second and let polite reminders chase the late ones.
Know what is on the shelf
Sizes, colours, warehouses: every variant keeps its own count. Stock leaves when you invoice and comes back when a purchase order arrives, and every movement is written down, so a missing item always has a story.
Let the books keep up
Every invoice, payment and expense posts a proper double-entry journal as you work. Reconcile bank lines, browse your chart of accounts and pull reports without a month-end scramble.
Get paid sooner
Connect your own payment gateway and every shared invoice gets a Pay now button. The payment finds its invoice, marks it paid and posts to your books. The money goes straight to you.
Reports that answer them at a glance, built from live data, not last month's export.
Every unpaid invoice, sorted by how late it is. You know who to call first, and who is only a day behind.
Explore reportsSet a reorder point per item. Anything below it lands in your low-stock digest, before a customer finds the empty shelf.
Explore inventoryRevenue, costs and what is left, for any period. It reads straight from the ledger, so it matches what your team just entered.
Explore reportsTax collected on sales, tax paid on purchases and the difference, ready when it is time to file.
GST and VAT invoicingSnap a receipt and MicroBeet reads it into an expense. Then see where the money goes, category by category.
Explore expensesMicroBeet handles the small, repetitive jobs that usually fall through the cracks: nudging late payers, watching your shelves and keeping the books current. You choose which ones are switched on.
You quote, you buy, you count, you chase and you file. MicroBeet takes the paperwork off that list.
Purchase orders in, delivery challans out, and one honest stock count for both locations.
Wholesale and distribution The contractor quoting from a ladderSend the estimate from your phone, bill the job in stages and know what each project really cost.
Contractors and services The studio chasing overdue invoicesBranded invoices, a Pay now link and reminders that do the awkward asking for you.
Agencies and freelancers The shopkeeper who counts twiceVariants, live counts and a movement log that ends the where-did-it-go argument.
Retail and trading The maker buying raw materialVendor bills, purchase orders and stock value sit in the same books as your sales.
Accounting for makers The accountant with forty clientsClean, consistent records from every client, synced to the software you already use.
For accountantsAndroid and iOS
The MicroBeet apps run on the same account as the web, so wherever you are, you are looking at the same books.
Keep the accounting software they love. MicroBeet syncs clients, items, invoices, payments and expenses, so you and your accountant work from the same numbers.
Clients, items, invoices, payments and expenses stay in step with popular cloud accounting tools.
Five gateways cover cards, UPI and bank payments. Bring your own account and keep your settlements.
Bring clients, products, estimates and invoices from your current tool or from spreadsheets.
Connectors for bigger ERP systems are on the roadmap. Tell us which one you need and we will prioritise it.
Security you can check
This is your accounts and your money, so we treat it that way. Here is exactly what protects it, in plain words.
Bank account numbers, UPI IDs and payment gateway keys are encrypted with AES-256 before they are stored.
You sign in with a one-time email code. Codes are stored only as hashes, expire in 10 minutes and stop working after 5 wrong tries.
Payments go through your own gateway account. Funds settle to you directly and never pass through MicroBeet.
Give each team member a role. Permissions are checked on every request, so nobody wanders into the wrong screen.
Important actions are logged with who did it, what changed and when. Export the log when your auditor asks.
An issued invoice keeps the client details it was issued with. Tax is calculated on the server, money uses exact decimal math, and stock changes are recorded, never overwritten.
Your business is isolated from every other business on the platform, and its records are not left behind in your browser's local storage.
See every device that is signed in and sign any of them out. The mobile apps add an optional PIN lock.
Rate limits, cross-site request checks, secure cookies, validated inputs and checked file uploads help block attacks.
Your auditor or IT lead has questions? Good. We like those.
