Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Bannu for Trading Houses, Clinics, Labs and Colleges
For wholesalers selling on credit to shops in outlying areas, labs tracking samples from several collection points, and colleges handling admissions, hostels and exams on paper: one dependable system for each, with records you can check.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build credit trading, laboratory, clinic and college systems for Bannu wholesalers, medical centres and colleges, 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 Bannu build custom software
Bannu is in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, between Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan. A town in that position often serves a wide surrounding area, and the buyers we write for here reflect that: wholesalers who supply shops in outlying areas on credit and send staff out to recover payments, clinics and diagnostic labs that receive patients and samples from beyond the town, and colleges with students who need hostel places and transport. Each depends on records that are easy to lose on paper: who owes what, which sample belongs to which patient, which student has paid which instalment. A custom system stores each record once and makes it easy to search.
Software we build for Bannu businesses
Credit sales and recovery app for trading houses
Each shop gets a credit limit and payment terms, and the sales screen warns before a bill takes a shop past its limit. Recovery staff carry an Android app listing the shops on their round and the amounts due; they record each payment and the shop receives a receipt by SMS or WhatsApp. An ageing report shows overdue balances by shop, area and salesman.
Lab sample tracking across collection points
At each collection point the sample is registered against the patient and labelled with a barcode, then followed as it travels to the main lab. Technicians enter results or import them from the analyser where it supports this, a pathologist signs off, and the report goes to the patient and the referring doctor. Nothing depends on matching handwritten slips to tubes.
OPD and procedure billing for medical centres
A medical centre with several consultants needs each doctor's schedule, OPD slips, procedure and room charges, and the share due to each consultant, in one place. We build a desk that issues the slip, bills the visit and procedures, and gives the administrator a daily closing by doctor and department instead of a pile of receipt books to add up.
College admissions, merit lists and examinations
Applications are entered or submitted online, merit lists are generated from your own criteria, and admitted students move straight into enrolment with a roll number. Exam schedules, seating plans, marks entry by subject teachers and result cards follow from the same record, and the controller of examinations can lock marks once they are approved, so later changes are tracked.
Hostel rooms, transport routes and student dues
Hostel rooms and beds are allocated from a live list, mess charges are added monthly, and each transport route has its vehicles, stops and students. Tuition, hostel and transport dues all land on one student account, so the accounts office can issue a single voucher and parents see one balance instead of three separate demands.

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

Full development, testing, deployment, training and support, built to grow with you.
Why work with Timeline Digital from Bannu
Delivered from Islamabad without long trips
You do not need to travel, and neither do we, unless the contract says so. Workshops, demos and staff training run on video calls and screen sharing from our Islamabad headquarters, and questions go through WhatsApp from Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 PKT.
Recovery staff who can work offline
Recovery rounds often pass through places with weak coverage. The app keeps the round, balances and receipts on the phone, records payments without a signal and uploads them later, so the office never loses a collection because a network was down.
Results and balances that cannot change silently
Lab reports, exam marks and customer balances matter to people outside your office. Approved records are locked, any correction needs the right role, and the audit history records who changed what and why, so you can answer a patient, a parent or a customer with confidence.
Urdu for the people entering the data
Collection staff, recovery staff and hostel wardens can work on screens with Urdu labels, while management reports stay in English. Clear screens in the language staff read best mean fewer wrong entries at the point where records are first made.
- Office in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad only; Bannu clients served remotely
- Free pilot: we build 2 to 3 key modules for your team to test first
- Offline recovery app for Android
- Audit history on reports, marks and balances
What a custom system could do for Bannu businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Wholesale credit trader
A wholesale trader could set a credit limit for each shop, give recovery staff a phone app that issues receipts on the spot, and review an ageing list of overdue balances every week.
Diagnostic laboratory
A diagnostic lab with collection points could label each sample with a barcode at collection, follow it to the main lab, and release a signed report to the patient and the referring doctor.
College with hostel
A college could run admissions from application to merit list, allocate hostel beds and transport routes, and keep tuition, hostel and transport dues on one student account.
Frequently asked questions
Our college is in Bannu. How do meetings and training work without an office nearby?
There is no Timeline Digital office in Bannu: our one office is our Islamabad headquarters in G-11 Markaz, and Bannu organisations are served remotely from there. Meetings with the principal, admissions office and examination staff take place on video calls, we train each group over screen sharing, and recorded walkthroughs stay available for new staff. Day-to-day questions come to us on WhatsApp. If you want trainers on your campus, that visit has to be agreed in the contract.
Which modules would a Bannu trader or lab choose for the free pilot?
A trading house usually pilots credit limits with the recovery app, since overdue balances are usually the first worry. A lab often chooses sample registration with barcode labels and report release. Either way, the 2 to 3 key modules you pick are built free of charge as working software, ahead of any decision on the full project. Staff try it with real shops or real samples, and nothing further is built until you give approval.
Can recovery staff record payments without internet?
Yes. The recovery app downloads the round and each shop's balance before the salesman leaves, then records payments, cheques and promises to pay with no connection at all. Receipts are numbered on the phone so none are duplicated, and everything uploads once a signal returns. The office sees each payment with its time and the staff member who collected it.
Can lab results come directly from our analysers?
Often, yes. Many haematology and chemistry analysers can send results to a computer through a serial or network interface, and we can map those results to the right patient using the sample barcode. Some older machines only print, and there technicians enter values on a screen that checks them against normal ranges. We look at your exact machine models during planning before promising an interface.
Can students and parents check results and dues online?
Yes. Students or parents can log in on a phone to see exam results once they are published, attendance, and a single statement of tuition, hostel and transport dues. The college decides what each login can see and when results are released. For families who do not use the portal, the same information can be sent as an SMS or WhatsApp message.
