Chiniot, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Chiniot for Order Tracking, Stock and Customer Records
For workshops, showrooms and traders taking custom orders against an advance, where a job's progress lives in someone's memory and customer details sit on one phone: a single record from booking to delivery and after.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build order tracking, stock and customer record systems for Chiniot workshops, showrooms and traders, 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 Chiniot build custom software
Chiniot is in Punjab, on the Chenab between Faisalabad and Sargodha. This page is for businesses whose work runs order by order: a workshop making items to a customer's size and design, a showroom that sells from stock and also books custom orders with an advance, a trader with repeat buyers in other cities. Trouble starts when an order's details, advance, progress and delivery date are spread across a receipt book, a sketch and a WhatsApp chat. A custom system gives every order one record, from the advance through each stage of work to delivery and the final payment.
Software we build for Chiniot businesses
Custom order and job-stage tracking
Each order records the customer, design notes, photos or sketches, size, agreed price and advance. The job then moves through stages you define, such as material, work in progress, finishing and ready, with the person responsible at each step. Owners see which orders are late, and customers can get a WhatsApp message when their order is ready for collection or delivery.
Showroom bookings, advances and delivery schedule
Showroom staff record sales from stock and custom bookings on the same screen, with advances, balances and promised dates. A delivery schedule shows what goes out each day and to whom, and the final payment is collected against the original booking so nothing is billed twice. Receipts can be FBR-ready where you issue tax invoices to your buyers.
Raw material and finished goods stock
Track materials bought, issued to each job and left over, alongside finished pieces held in the showroom or store. When a job is closed, its material use is recorded, so you can compare what was actually used with what you planned. Low-stock alerts cover the materials you reorder most often, before a job stalls waiting for them.
Customer history and after-sales CRM
Every customer keeps one record: past orders, addresses, measurements or specifications, complaints and repairs. Staff can follow up with previous buyers, log after-sales visits and see a customer's full history before quoting a new order. For buyers in other cities, the record also holds shipping details and delivery confirmations, so nothing depends on one salesman's phone.

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

Free. You choose 2 to 3 key modules and we build them first, so you can judge our work.

Full development, testing, deployment, training and support, built to grow with you.
Why work with Timeline Digital from Chiniot
Built around orders, not just bills
Ordinary POS software stops at the bill, but your work carries on for days or weeks after the booking. We design the order record to follow the job from advance to delivery, with stages that match how your workshop actually runs.
Photos and sketches on every order
Orders in made-to-order work are often described with a picture. Staff attach photos, sketches and design references from a phone, so the people making the item work from exactly what the customer approved.
Remote setup from our Islamabad headquarters
We serve Chiniot remotely. Your staff learn the system over screen-shared sessions, and support runs through WhatsApp during office hours. On-site visits are made only when the contract includes them.
Room to grow into a full ERP
A single workshop can start with orders and customer records. As you add a second unit, another showroom or more staff, the same system extends to purchasing, payroll and accounts without starting over.
- Chiniot served remotely from our only office, in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad
- Free pilot: 2 to 3 key modules working before you decide on the full build
- WhatsApp order updates for your customers
- On full payment, source code transferred to you as set out in the agreement
What a custom system could do for Chiniot businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Made-to-order workshop
A workshop could log each custom order with photos and the advance paid, move it through production stages and alert the customer on WhatsApp when it is ready.
Showroom
A showroom could sell from stock and book custom orders on one screen, schedule deliveries by date and collect balances against the original booking.
Trader with out-of-town buyers
A trader could keep each buyer's order history, shipping details and payment status in one record and follow up when a repeat order is due.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Chiniot business work with you if you are based in Islamabad?
Yes. Our only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and we serve Chiniot businesses remotely. We discuss your orders and job stages on video calls, test the system with you through screen sharing, and handle questions on WhatsApp. We do not have staff in Chiniot. If you need an on-site visit, for example to train workshop staff in person, it is agreed in the contract.
Which modules would a Chiniot workshop or showroom test first in the free pilot?
The free pilot is 2 to 3 of your key modules, built as working software before you commit to the full project. A workshop usually picks order booking with advances and the job-stage board. A showroom often adds the delivery schedule. A trader may prefer the customer record and follow-up list. Your staff run real orders through it, and the full build starts only after you approve.
Can customers get updates on their order without calling us?
Yes. The system can send an SMS or WhatsApp message when an order is booked, when it reaches a stage you choose and when it is ready for delivery. Messages include the order number and any balance due. You decide which stages trigger a message, so customers get useful updates rather than a stream of notifications they stop reading.
Can staff attach photos and measurements to an order from a phone?
Yes. The mobile app lets staff photograph a design, a sketch or the finished piece and attach it to the order, along with measurements and notes. Workshop staff see the same attachments on their own screen. Photos stay with the order, so if a customer questions a detail later, you can show exactly what was agreed at booking.
Can we see which orders are running late?
Yes. Each order has a promised delivery date, and each stage can have its own target date. A late-orders list shows jobs behind schedule and the stage where they are stuck, so the owner can act before the customer phones. Weekly reports show on-time delivery by stage and by staff member, which helps when planning how many orders to accept.
