Bhakkar, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Bhakkar for Dealer Ledgers, Weighbridge Stock and Billing
For grain traders, commission agents and dealers who carry parties on credit from sowing to harvest and weigh every load on a hand-written slip: one ledger joined to the weighbridge, the godown and the bill.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build dealer ledger, weighbridge, godown stock and billing systems for Bhakkar grain traders, commission agents and wholesale dealers, 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 Bhakkar build custom software
Bhakkar is in Punjab, on the east bank of the Indus in the Thal, with Dera Ismail Khan across the river. For a trader, the hardest weeks are the ones when a whole season's accounts are settled at once. Loads arrive, are weighed, stored and sold on, while advances given months earlier are deducted from what each party is paid. When the weighbridge slip, the godown register and the credit khata are kept apart, mistakes and disputes follow. A custom system links the weight, the stock and the account, so every settlement shows exactly how the final figure was reached.
Software we build for Bhakkar businesses
Weighbridge-linked purchase and sale slips
The system reads the weight directly from the weighbridge indicator where the hardware supports it, or takes the operator's entry where it does not. Each slip records the vehicle, party, commodity, gross, tare and net weight, plus deductions such as bags or moisture, then posts to stock and to the party's account. Printed slips carry serial numbers that cannot be reused.
Seasonal credit and advance ledger
Advances, goods given on credit, part-payments and any charges agreed with each party sit in one running account. At settlement the system subtracts advances from the value of the delivered crop and prints a statement the party can check line by line. Overdue balances appear in one list, with reminders by SMS or WhatsApp if you want them sent.
Godown stock by lot and location
Track what sits in each godown by commodity, lot and owner, including stock you hold on behalf of other parties. Transfers between godowns, sales out and weight loss in storage are recorded against the lot, so a physical count can be compared with the system at any time. Owners can see quantity and value by godown on their phone.
Trade billing with FBR-ready invoices
Sale bills are raised from the weighbridge slip, so rates and weights are never typed twice. Where you issue tax invoices, the bill can be FBR-ready. Receipts and payments go through a cash and bank book linked to each party ledger, and your accountant can export entries to the accounting software you already use, keeping one version of the figures.

How we work
How we build custom software for Bhakkar businesses
Custom software built around the way your business works. Every Bhakkar 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.

Step 5: Build & Scale
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 Bhakkar
Every settlement figure traceable
Settlement disputes are about how a number was reached. We design statements that show each weight, rate, deduction and advance behind the final amount, along with the user who entered it, so you can answer a party's question on the spot.
We connect your hardware, not replace it
If you already own a weighbridge, a slip printer or a label printer, we check what it can output and connect to it where possible, rather than asking you to buy new equipment for the software's sake.
Ready for harvest-week volume
A system that is quiet for months must cope when the rush arrives. We test the pilot with a realistic day's loads and add logins for seasonal staff, which you can switch off when the season closes.
Close support from Islamabad
We are based in Islamabad and work with Bhakkar clients through video calls, screen sharing and WhatsApp in office hours. During the pilot, your team runs real slips and ledgers through the system while we watch the screen with them and fix what they find.
- Single office in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, serving Bhakkar remotely
- Free pilot: your 2 to 3 key modules built as working software first
- Weighbridge and printer integration where the hardware allows
- FBR-ready invoicing where you issue tax invoices
What a custom system could do for Bhakkar businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Grain trader with a weighbridge
A grain trader could print numbered weighbridge slips, post each load to godown stock and the seller's account, and settle the season with a line-by-line statement.
Commission agent
A commission agent could record advances to growers and sales to buyers in one ledger, work out commission per deal and show any party's balance on request.
Wholesale dealer
A wholesale dealer could track goods issued to retailers on seasonal credit, flag accounts past their agreed date and send balance reminders in Urdu.
Frequently asked questions
Can you set this up for a Bhakkar business without an office nearby?
Yes. We have one office, in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and no staff in Bhakkar. Requirement sessions, pilot testing and training run over video calls and screen sharing, and quick questions go through WhatsApp. If connecting your weighbridge or setting up the godown computers needs someone present, we agree an on-site visit in the contract before work begins, so there are no surprises for either side.
What would a Bhakkar trader test in the free pilot?
Before you commit to the full project, we build 2 to 3 of your key modules as working software at no charge. Most traders choose the weighbridge slip and the party ledger, because that is where disputes start, and sometimes godown stock as a third. Your staff run real loads through the pilot, you compare its settlement statements with your registers, and the full build begins only once you approve.
Can the software read weights directly from our weighbridge?
Often, yes. Many weighbridge indicators send the weight to a computer through a serial or USB port, and we can capture it straight into the slip so it cannot be typed over. Some older indicators do not offer this, in which case the operator enters the weight and the system records who entered it and when. We check your model before promising either approach.
How does the system handle advances paid before the crop arrives?
Each advance is posted to the party's account with its date and any terms you record. When the party delivers, the value of each load is credited, and the statement shows advances, deliveries, deductions and the net balance together. You can settle in full or in part, and the account history carries forward into the next season rather than starting a fresh register.
Can temporary staff get limited logins during the busy season?
Yes. You can create logins for extra weighbridge operators or clerks during the rush and give them only the screens they need, for example slip entry without access to rates or party balances. When the season ends you switch the logins off, and everything they entered stays in the audit history under their name for later checking.
