Attock, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Attock for Stock, Billing, Accounts and Transport
For traders, distributors, transporters and shops whose stock, credit and trip records sit in registers, Excel and WhatsApp: one system that links sales, stock, customer balances and accounts, and keeps going when the power goes.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build stock, billing, accounts and transport systems for Attock traders, distributors, transporters and retailers, delivered remotely from our Islamabad headquarters. Before you commit to the full project, we build 2 to 3 of your key modules as a free pilot for your team to test.
Why businesses in Attock build custom software
Attock is in north-western Punjab, on the Indus where Punjab meets Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For a trading business, a position like that can mean customers and deliveries in both provinces. This page is written for wholesale traders and distributors supplying shops across the district, transporters who need trip, fuel and freight records, and retailers who want quick billing with stock that stays accurate. The usual trouble spots are credit given on trust and written down late, stock counts that do not match the books, and trip sheets totalled by hand. A custom system links sales, stock, customer balances and accounts in one place.
Software we build for Attock businesses
Distributor stock and dealer credit system
A distribution system records purchases, godown stock, sales to each shop, returns and credit given, and keeps every shop's balance up to date. Order bookers can take orders on a phone app and the godown sees them straight away. Credit limits warn staff before a shop's balance goes too high, and recovery lists show who to visit today.
Trip, fuel and freight records for transporters
A transport module logs each vehicle, driver and trip, with loading and delivery points, freight charged, advances paid, and fuel and repair costs. Owners can see what each vehicle earned after expenses in a month, which parties still owe freight and which vehicles are due for service. Drivers or munshis can record trips from a phone, even on a weak signal.
Retail counter billing with barcode stock
A billing counter with barcode scanning prints receipts quickly, reduces stock with every sale and shows daily sales, cash and card totals at closing. Purchase entries update stock on arrival, and low-stock lists help with reordering. FBR-ready invoicing can be added where the shop issues tax invoices, and Urdu labels suit counter staff who prefer them.
Accounts that join sales, purchases and expenses
Instead of a separate accounts register, a custom accounts module posts sales, purchases, receipts, payments and expenses automatically from daily work. You get a cash book, party ledgers, and a profit and loss statement without re-entering figures. If your accountant already uses an accounting tool, we can integrate with it or export in the format it needs.
Free Windows tools for a single counter
If a single shop is not ready for a custom build, our free Windows tools at timelinedigi.com/free-software include POS, inventory and invoice programs that run offline. A shop can begin there and move its records into a custom system later, once it has several counters, a godown or delivery routes to manage.

How we work
How we build custom software for Attock businesses
Custom software built around the way your business works. Every Attock project follows the same five steps, and you test our work in a pilot of your most important modules before the full build.
Step 1: Understand
We learn how your business works.
Your requirements, workflow, challenges and goals, understood before anything is recommended.
Step 2: Plan
We design the right solution around your workflow.
Modules, workflows, roles, approvals, reports and integrations, agreed before development.
Step 3: Select Technology
Choose the right technical foundation.
Technology options matched to your users, security, budget and growth, not one fixed stack.
- Free pilot
Step 4: Pilot
Test our work before full project development.
Free. You choose 2 to 3 key modules and we build them first, so you can judge our work.
The full project starts only after you approve the pilot.

From approved pilot to complete digital system.
Full development, testing, deployment, training and support, built to grow with you.
Why work with Timeline Digital from Attock
Credit control designed in from day one
For many traders, credit is where money is lost. We design credit limits, ageing and recovery screens with you from the start, so owners can see who owes what and since when, without waiting for the register to be totalled.
Counters and godowns that run offline
Billing and stock entry continue without power or internet. Entries are stored locally and synced when the connection comes back, so a busy counter does not stop and the evening stock count still adds up.
Within reach of Islamabad
Attock is within reach of our Islamabad headquarters, so an on-site visit, for example to install barcode scanners or train counter staff, is easier to arrange when agreed in the contract. Everything else, from requirements to support, runs remotely through video calls, screen sharing and WhatsApp during office hours.
Urdu for the counter, English for the books
Counter, godown and transport staff can work on screens with Urdu labels, while owners and accountants read English reports. The same data sits behind both, so there is only one version of stock and balances.
- Our one office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad; Attock is served remotely
- Free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules before any commitment
- Offline billing and stock entry
- FBR-ready invoicing where you issue tax invoices
What a custom system could do for Attock businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Wholesale distributor
A distributor could let order bookers take shop orders on a phone, pick them in the godown and track each shop's credit and recovery in the same system.
Goods transporter
A transporter could log trips, freight, driver advances and fuel for each vehicle and see which parties still owe freight at month end.
Retail store
A retail store could bill with barcode scanners, update stock with each sale and close the day with cash and card totals that match the counter.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Timeline Digital office in Attock?
No. Our only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and Attock clients are served remotely from there by video call, screen sharing and WhatsApp. Attock is within reach of Islamabad, so if the contract includes an on-site visit, for example to set up scanners and printers or train counter staff, it is easier for us to arrange. Requirements, demos, testing and support happen online, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 PKT.
What would an Attock distributor see in the free pilot?
Usually the modules that touch money every day: order booking, godown stock and shop credit. Ahead of any commitment to the full project, 2 to 3 key modules are built as working software, free of charge, and your staff use them with real orders and customers. You tell us what fits and what does not, and the full build starts only after you approve. A transporter might pick trips and freight instead.
Can the billing counter keep working during load-shedding?
Yes. Counters are built to run offline: each sale is saved on the counter computer and stock is reduced locally, and everything syncs with the main system once power and internet are back. If the computer and printer are on a UPS, billing carries on as normal. At closing, the day's sales and cash come from the same data, so offline hours do not leave gaps in the totals.
Can you move our credit registers and Excel sheets into the new system?
Yes. We take your party list, item list and opening balances from Excel or an old program, clear duplicates with your staff and import them before go-live. For registers that exist only on paper, we give you a simple import sheet so staff can enter opening balances once. The import is tested on a copy first, so you can check every balance before switching over.
Can shops get their balance or a payment reminder on WhatsApp?
Yes. The system can send a shop or party its current balance, a payment reminder when a bill passes its due date, or a receipt when a payment is recorded. Messages go out automatically or when a staff member presses send, and each message is logged against the party. You decide the wording and which customers receive reminders, so regular buyers are not chased unnecessarily.
