Your challan book,
but it remembers.
Every slip you write, every copy you are waiting on, every payment that has not started — in one register you can open from the workshop floor. No more flipping pages to find out who owes you what.

The book works, right up until it doesn’t
Nothing is wrong with the chopadi. It is a good record. It just cannot count, cannot remind you, and cannot be in two places at once.
The promised date lives in your head
A vepari asks for Thursday. By Thursday there are nine other slips on the table. The one that slips is the one you hear about.
Signed for is not paid for
The vepari signs and the job feels done. But nothing is owed until somebody counts what actually finished and raises the bill — and that is the step everybody forgets.
Nobody can total the book
How many pieces are out right now, across how many veparis? The answer is in the book — one page at a time.
One book, one pair of hands
Your partner cannot check a challan from the shop while the book is with you at the market.
A whole book, on whatever you have to hand
The same register on the desk, on the counter and in your pocket — full tables where there is room, tap-sized cards where there is not. Nothing to install.
Four steps, and they match how you already work
This is not a new system to learn. It is the same slip, the same signature, the same billing — written down somewhere that can add up.
- 01
Write the slip once
Vepari, challan number, what came in, what you promised. Items go in the way the slip is written — sarees counted, blouse pieces measured, anything else in your own words.
- 02
Let the dates chase you
Due today, due this week, already late. The dashboard puts the overdue work first, because that is the call you are about to get.
- 03
Count it, and get it signed
Finished, damaged, missing, not done — one challan of your own, carrying both challan numbers. The vepari signs for it, which is proof the goods were accepted. It is not the bill.
- 04
Bill only what is finished
Damaged, missing and not-done stay on the challan and never reach the bill — only finished quantity does. There is no fixed cycle to guess at; a bill simply ages from the day it was raised, and it can be cancelled but never quietly edited.
Built around the challan, not around a spreadsheet
Only finished work gets billed
Damaged, missing and not-done are recorded on the challan honestly — never on the bill. What you invoice is exactly what left the workshop finished.
Dates that cannot go backwards
A promised date before the date you received the goods is a typo, not a plan. It is refused at entry.
Payment aging at a glance
What is owed, by whom, and how long it has been sitting there — grouped by how old it is, so the oldest never goes quiet.
Your partner, same chopadi
Invite a co-worker and you both see the same register in real time. Only the person who created the workspace can invite or remove.
Made for the phone in the workshop
Full tables on a desktop, tap-sized cards on a phone. Same register, no pinching and scrolling sideways.
Light or dark, your call
A bright shop floor and a late night at the desk want different screens. One tap switches, and it remembers.

What is a job-work challan?
It is the slip that travels with goods when they leave one place for work rather than for sale — fabric going out for embroidery, printing or stitching, and coming back finished. The slip records what went, when it was promised back, and who has it. Challan Chopadi keeps that same record, one entry per slip.
Do I have to change the way I write my challan book?
No. You still note the vepari's own challan number and what they handed over — that is the record everything else is matched against. When the job is finished you raise your own challan with what actually got done, and the vepari signs for it the way they always have. Nothing about how you work on paper changes; the app just remembers what the paper cannot.
Is this GST invoicing or billing software?
Not today. What it does now is the half your billing software ignores: what is out, what is late, which copies have not come back, and which payments have not started. It does not raise a GST invoice, generate an e-way bill or file a return, so keep doing those wherever you do them now. That is a starting point, not the finish line. Challan Chopadi is in active development and is being built out in phases, working towards one place that handles the whole job-work cycle instead of the half of it every other tool leaves alone. What arrives next is decided by what workshops actually ask for — so if something is missing for you, tell us and it goes on the list.
Can my partner or worker use the same register?
Yes. The person who creates the account can invite co-workers by email, and everyone then sees the same challans in real time from their own phone. Only that first owner can invite or remove someone.
Does it work on a phone?
It is built for one. The register becomes tap-sized cards on a phone and full sortable tables on a desktop, and it is a website — nothing to install from an app store.
What happens once a challan is billed?
Raising a bill locks the quantities on that challan — finished, damaged, missing, not done — so the numbers cannot drift once the bill is out. If something genuinely needs correcting, you cancel the bill first, which only works while no payment has been allocated to it, fix the challan, and raise it again. Payments themselves are just recorded against a bill whenever they come in — one payment can settle several bills, or part of one.
Start with the slips that are still open
Log the challans you are currently waiting on and you are caught up. Everything after that is one slip at a time.
