( Is it time for an ERP? )

Signs your business has outgrown its software.

Most companies arrive at an ERP the same way: one accounting package, a few spreadsheets, a billing app and a lot of retyping. If several of these sound familiar, one system will save you hours every week.

  • Sales, stock and accounts live in different places and never quite agree.
  • Month-end closing and GST returns take days of copying and checking.
  • Nobody can say what a product really costs to make or buy.
  • Stock counts in the godown and in the books are always different.
  • Purchase approvals happen on WhatsApp, with no record of who agreed.
  • Payroll, attendance and statutory files are prepared by hand.
  • Every new branch or company means another login and another spreadsheet.
  • You worry about where your business data is stored and who can see it.

( Why Qila )

  • Submitted documents locked; changes by cancel and amend
  • Hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail

( The platform )

One platform. Every process.

Every area shares one database, so a sale updates stock, accounts and tax in the same moment, and every figure can be traced back to the document it came from. Areas marked with a pack name are switched on by installing that Qila Pack.

Financial Accounting & Controlling

Double-entry ledgers, cost centres, fixed assets and depreciation, bank reconciliation, profit and loss, balance sheet and year-end closing.

Materials Management

Item masters, purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipts, multi-warehouse stock and the stock ledger.

Sales & Distribution

Quotations to sales orders, deliveries and invoices, price lists, credit and debit notes, and POS counters.

Production Planning

Multi-level bills of materials, work orders, production entries, scrap and product costing.

Quality Management

Quality checks by item and work order: inspector, samples checked, findings and pass or fail.

Manufacturing pack

Plant & Factory Maintenance

Machine register, maintenance logs, service intervals and downtime hours.

Manufacturing pack

Project Systems

Client projects with budgets and status, service contracts with renewal dates, jobs, tasks and time logs.

Services pack

Logistics Execution & Warehouse Management

( GST & compliance )

Compliance, built in. Business, without borders.

( Questions )

Qila ERP, answered.

What is Qila ERP?

Qila ERP is enterprise resource planning software from ABR Studio. One system covers financial accounting and controlling, materials management, sales and distribution, production planning, quality, plant maintenance, projects, warehouses, HR and payroll, supplier and customer management, with workflows, automation, reports and dashboards. It is installed on your own server and configured to your processes without code.

Where is my data stored?

On your own server or hosting. Business data, documents and backups never leave it. The only outbound connection is a signed hourly licence check-in that sends the installation ID, the last 4 characters of the licence key, the version, the site address, the number of users and companies, the modules and packs switched on, the time of the last backup and the PHP and database versions. Qila shows you exactly what was sent.

What hosting does Qila ERP need?

PHP 8.2 or newer, MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.6+, HTTPS and one cron job. No Docker or command line is needed, so a good VPS or business hosting plan works; for up to 10 users a server typically costs about $10–20 a month, paid to your hosting provider. We can set up the server for you.

Does Qila ERP file my GST returns?

Qila prepares the files: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for the GST portal, GSTR-2B import and matching with your purchase invoices, and e-invoice (IRP) and e-way bill files for each invoice, plus TDS, PF and ESI data. You download them from Qila and upload them to the portals; there is no direct connection to the GST portal, IRP or e-way bill system yet.

How much does Qila ERP cost?

Licences start at $35 a month, $349 a year or $949 one-time for up to 5 users, and go up to 100+ users. One-time licences have optional annual maintenance at 18% of the licence price. Set-up packages start at $490 online. Prices are in USD, exclusive of taxes, and valid until 31 March 2027.

Can we change Qila ERP without a developer?

Yes. The Designer builds forms with as many fields as you need, workflows handle approvals with 5 modes from single to quorum, and automation rules send notifications, create tasks or call webhooks. Every change is held as a draft, previewed, reviewed and audited before it goes live. Our Qila Experts can also configure it for you.

Does it work in other languages, currencies and countries?

Yes. Qila is multi-currency, with exchange gain and loss, and multi-language: English and Arabic with a full right-to-left layout, chosen by each person, and bilingual print formats. Tax rates are set per item, company and country, and the compliance calendar holds your own due dates. India GST, TDS, PF and ESI files are built in; filing formats for other countries are not built in yet, so ask us about yours.

What are Qila Packs?

Ready-made set-ups for an industry: retail, trading and distribution, manufacturing, restaurants, hotels, schools, clinics and services. A pack adds the records, roles, workflows, print formats, reports and starting data that industry needs. You preview it first, and it only adds, never changes or removes what you have. Qila Experts also build custom packs.
