Layyah, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Layyah for Shops, Agri-Input Dealers and Private Schools
For shopkeepers, agri-input dealers and private schools where sales, farmer credit and fee collection are split across bill books, notebooks and Excel: one simple system for the counter, the ledger and the school office.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build billing, stock, farmer credit and school fee systems for Layyah shops, agri-input dealers and private schools, 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 Layyah build custom software
Layyah is in Punjab, on the east bank of the Indus in the Thal, between Bhakkar and Muzaffargarh. The buyers this page is written for are mostly owner-run: a shop with one or two counters, a dealer selling seed, fertiliser and sprays to farmers on credit until the crop is sold, or a private school collecting monthly fees from many families. Each keeps its key numbers somewhere different, a bill book, a khata or an Excel sheet on one computer. A custom system brings the counter bill, the farmer's account and the fee record into software the owner can check from a phone, with Urdu labels for staff who prefer them.
Software we build for Layyah businesses
Counter billing and barcode stock for shops
Bills print quickly at the counter, with barcode scanning where your products carry codes and fast item search where they do not. Every sale lowers stock, so the owner sees what is running short before a customer asks for it. Returns, discounts and daily cash closing sit on the same screen, and FBR-ready invoicing can be switched on if you issue tax invoices.
Farmer credit ledger for agri-input dealers
Each farmer gets one account showing every bag of fertiliser, packet of seed and bottle of spray taken on credit, with dates and rates. When the crop is sold, the dealer sees who owes what, records part-payments and sends balance reminders by SMS or WhatsApp. Stock by product and batch sits alongside, so expiry dates on sprays and seed are not missed.
Fee, attendance and result cards for private schools
The school office issues fee vouchers class by class, records payments and sees defaulters in one list instead of turning register pages. Teachers mark attendance on a phone, parents receive absence and fee reminders, and result cards print from marks entered once. A school that opens a second branch can run both from the same system without starting again.
Owner's phone view of sales, credit and fees
For owners who cannot stand at the counter or sit in the school office all day. A simple mobile screen shows today's sales, cash in hand, outstanding farmer credit or fee collection, updated as staff make entries. Sensitive actions such as deleted bills, changed rates or waived fees are logged, so the owner can review them later without asking around.

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

Full development, testing, deployment, training and support, built to grow with you.
Why work with Timeline Digital from Layyah
Screens simple enough for counter staff
Counter salesmen, dealer munshis and school clerks should be comfortable with the system within a day. We keep screens short, add Urdu labels where staff want them, and test the pilot with the people who will actually use it, not only with the owner.
Start with one module, add more later
A shop or school does not need a full ERP on day one. We can begin with billing or fees, then add stock, credit or a second branch when you are ready. If you would rather try something ready-made first, our free Windows tools for POS, inventory and school management are at timelinedigi.com/free-software.
Billing and fee desks that ride out power cuts
The shop counter keeps billing and the school office keeps taking fees during load-shedding, because entries are saved on the computer and synced once the connection is back. A UPS keeps the machine running; the software keeps the records in order.
Set up and trained over video call
We work from our Islamabad headquarters. Installation, staff training and support happen over video calls, screen sharing and WhatsApp, so a shop or school in Layyah does not wait for anyone to travel. Visits to your premises happen only when the contract includes them.
- Our only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad; Layyah is served remotely
- Free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules before you commit to the full project
- Urdu labels on screens, bills and fee vouchers
- Works through load-shedding and syncs when back online
What a custom system could do for Layyah businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
General store
A general store with two counters could bill by barcode, get reorder alerts for fast-moving items and close each day's cash against the sales total.
Agri-input dealer
A seed and fertiliser dealer could keep every farmer's credit purchases in one account, send balance reminders after the crop is sold and track spray stock by expiry date.
Private school
A private school could issue fee vouchers by class, mark attendance on a phone and send parents fee and absence reminders by SMS.
Frequently asked questions
Does Timeline Digital have a branch in Layyah?
No. We have one office, in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and every client outside Islamabad is served remotely. For a shop, dealer or school in Layyah that means setup and training by video call, remote support through screen sharing, and a WhatsApp group for questions during office hours, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 PKT. If you want someone to visit, for example to install a barcode printer, that is agreed in the contract in advance.
Which modules would a Layyah shop, dealer or school try first in the free pilot?
The free pilot covers 2 to 3 of your key modules, built as working software before you commit to the full project. A shop usually picks counter billing and stock. An agri-input dealer tends to choose the farmer credit ledger and payment reminders. A school often starts with fee vouchers and attendance. Your staff use the pilot with real entries, and the full build starts only after you approve it.
Can staff who read Urdu better than English use the system?
Yes. Field names, buttons and printed bills or fee vouchers can carry Urdu labels, while English stays where it is clearer, such as product codes and brand names. Each user can work with the labels they are comfortable with. Reports for the owner or the accountant can stay in English if that is what they prefer, so nobody has to translate figures by hand.
Can we bring our old records across from Excel and registers?
Yes. We import product lists, opening stock, farmer or customer balances and student records from Excel files. Records that exist only in registers can be entered by your staff during the pilot, using simple import sheets we prepare for you. Before going live we check opening balances with you, so the new system starts from figures you have agreed and trust.
Can the system remind parents about fees and farmers about their balance?
Yes. Reminders go by SMS or WhatsApp on dates you set, for example a fee reminder a few days before the due date, or a balance reminder to farmers once the crop is sold. Messages show the amount due and can be written in Urdu. You choose who receives them, and the system logs every message it sends, so there is no argument later about whether a reminder went out.
