Why It Matters

Digitising Bhutan's Retail Counter

Bhutan's retail landscape is evolving rapidly, with consumers expecting seamless shopping experiences both online and in-store. At aBit, we partner with retailers across the country to implement technology that bridges traditional commerce and modern digital expectations.

Handwritten ledgers and disconnected billing books make it hard to know what you hold, what sells, and what you owe. aBitPOS replaces that with barcode billing at the counter, real-time stock across every warehouse, and accounts that post themselves as you trade.

Whether you run a single boutique or a chain of stores, our solutions are designed around the realities of retail in Bhutan — connectivity, local payments, GST and TDS compliance, and multi-location management.

aBitPOS — one platform for POS, inventory, purchasing, accounting, loyalty and reporting

Our Software Solutions

One platform for POS, inventory, purchasing, accounting, loyalty and reporting — with the online storefront and payments to match.

aBitPOS — Point of Sale

The operating system for your store

Locally developed by aBit for retail and wholesale in Bhutan. Barcode billing, held transactions, multiple payment methods, and a touchscreen interface your counter staff can learn in an afternoon — on iPad, Android tablets, or a full POS terminal.

Fast POS Checkout

Barcode scanning, touchscreen-optimised interface, held transactions, and multiple payment methods.

Customer Loyalty

Points-based rewards, tiered programmes, birthday bonuses, referral tracking, and redeemable discounts.

Realtime Cashier Register

Opening float, shift handovers, and register reconciliation with PIN-based staff authentication.

Mobile Manager App

Monitor live sales, check stock levels, and track store performance from your phone.

Inventory & Purchasing

Know what you hold, everywhere

Stock that stays accurate across shops and warehouses, and a purchasing trail that runs from order to goods received to supplier payment — the part that matters most for wholesale and distribution.

Inventory Management

FIFO batch tracking, multi-warehouse stock, low-stock alerts, stock adjustments, and barcode label printing.

Purchasing & Suppliers

Create purchase orders, receive goods with GRN verification, manage supplier accounts, and track purchase history and costs.

Multi-branch Management

Run multiple locations from a single dashboard with role-based access, inter-branch transfers, and consolidated reporting.

Real-time Reports

Sales analytics, product performance, profit margins, payables and receivables, and exportable financial reports.

Accounting & Compliance

GST and TDS handled at the till

Tax is calculated as you sell, and the books post themselves. For businesses that only need invoicing, aBit Invoice covers GST-compliant billing on its own.

GST & TDS Compliance

Automatic calculation for inclusive and exclusive GST, TDS deductions, tax invoices, and compliant receipts.

Full Accounting

Automated journal entries, account ledgers, fiscal year management, vendor payments, and customer credit tracking.

Enterprise Security

Role-based access control, encrypted connections, session management, and full audit logging.

Private Cloud Hosting

Deployed on a private server for your business. No telemetry, no analytics harvesting, no third-party data sharing.

Online Store & Payments

Sell beyond the counter

A storefront your customers can browse before they visit, and a payment gateway that settles in Ngultrum. Built and hosted by the same team that runs your POS.

Business & Catalogue Websites

Custom design, reliable hosting, and domains — with ongoing support from a team in Thimphu.

Local Payment Integration

Accept payments online through pay.bt, settled in Ngultrum for Bhutanese businesses.

One Supplier, One Invoice

Storefront, payments, POS, and the network behind them — all supported by the same team.

One Connected Platform

Every module writes to the same ledger, so nothing is entered twice and nothing drifts out of sync.

You raise a purchase order and receive goods against it with GRN verification

2

Stock updates across every warehouse and branch, with barcode labels printed on receipt

3

The counter scans and bills, applying GST and TDS automatically
