Murree, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Murree for Hotels, Guest Houses, Schools and Shops
For hotels and guest houses taking bookings by phone and WhatsApp, and schools and shops keeping fees and stock in registers: one system for rooms, guests, housekeeping, billing and reports, even when the owner is away.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build room booking, housekeeping, billing and school management systems for Murree hotels, guest houses, schools and shops, 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 Murree build custom software
Murree is a hill station in Punjab, in the hills north-east of Islamabad. If you run a hotel or guest house, your year may have busy weeks and quiet ones, with bookings arriving by phone, WhatsApp and walk-in, and extra staff taken on when rooms fill up. Schools need admissions, fees and attendance kept straight, and shops need billing and stock that agree at closing. If you manage the business from another city, you also need to see what is happening without phoning reception. A custom system puts room availability, guest bills, housekeeping, fees or stock in one place that owners can check from a phone.
Software we build for Murree businesses
Room booking and availability system
One booking calendar shows every room, whether the booking came by phone, WhatsApp, walk-in or your website. Staff can hold, confirm or cancel a room, take an advance and record guest identity details at check-in. Seasonal and weekend rates can be set in advance, so reception quotes the price the owner decided rather than a figure from memory.
Housekeeping and room status app
Housekeeping staff mark rooms as dirty, being cleaned, ready or out of order from a phone, and reception sees the change straight away. Maintenance requests, such as a geyser or heater fault, can be logged against the room and followed until fixed. Urdu labels keep the app simple for housekeeping and maintenance staff who prefer them.
Guest billing for rooms, food and extras
Room charges, restaurant orders, laundry and other extras post to the guest's bill as they happen, so the bill at checkout is complete and the advance is already deducted. The system prints the bill or shares it on WhatsApp, and closes each day with cash, card and pending totals by user. FBR-ready invoicing can be added where needed.
School fee, attendance and results system
A school system keeps admissions, fee vouchers, attendance, exam marks and report cards together. Class teachers take the register on a phone, the office can list unpaid fees class by class, and parents get fee and result messages by SMS or WhatsApp. Records sit centrally with backups, so they do not depend on a single office computer.
Shop billing and stock for busy weeks
If your shop is quiet for part of the year and busy for the rest, billing has to be quick when queues form. A POS counter with barcode scanning bills fast, reduces stock with each sale and flags items running low before the busy days start. Owners can check the day's sales and stock from a phone.

How we work
How we build custom software for Murree businesses
Custom software built around the way your business works. Every Murree 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 Murree
Run it from wherever you are
If you manage your hotel, school or shop from another city, a web dashboard shows today's occupancy, bills, fees or sales on your phone. Each staff member has their own login, so you can see who checked a guest in, who gave a discount and who closed the cash.
Extra staff without shared passwords
When extra reception or housekeeping staff join for busy weeks, you can give each person a login with only the screens they need and switch it off when they leave. The audit history keeps a record of every action they took.
Close to our Islamabad office
Murree is in the hills north-east of Islamabad, not far from our G-11 Markaz office. When the contract includes an on-site visit, for example to set up reception or train housekeeping staff, that is easier to arrange. Otherwise we work remotely through video calls, screen sharing and WhatsApp.
Keeps going through power and signal cuts
Reception and billing screens are built to keep working if the power or internet drops. Entries are saved locally and synced when the connection returns, so a half-finished check-in or bill is not lost.
- Only office: G-11 Markaz, Islamabad; Murree is served remotely
- Try 2 to 3 key modules as a free pilot before committing
- Separate staff logins with audit history
- WhatsApp support, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 PKT
What a custom system could do for Murree businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Guest house
A guest house could keep one room calendar for phone, WhatsApp and walk-in bookings, record advances and share the final bill with the guest on WhatsApp.
Hotel with restaurant
A hotel with a restaurant could post food orders and extras to the guest's room bill, and let housekeeping update room status from a phone.
School
A school could issue fee vouchers, track attendance and publish results from one system, with fee reminders sent to parents by SMS.
Frequently asked questions
Can you set up our hotel system from Islamabad, or do you have someone in Murree?
Everything is run from Islamabad. Our G-11 Markaz office is the only one we have, and nobody from Timeline Digital is stationed in Murree. Setup meetings happen over video, we show progress by sharing our screen, and your reception manager can message us on WhatsApp in office hours. Since Murree sits in the hills just north-east of Islamabad, a visit to configure reception computers or train housekeeping staff is simpler to organise, provided the contract includes it.
Which modules would a guest house try in the free pilot?
Most guest houses start with the room booking calendar, check-in and the guest bill, because reception uses them every day. We build these 2 to 3 key modules as working software free of charge, before you decide on the full project, and your reception staff use them with real bookings. We change what does not fit, and the full build starts only after you approve the pilot. A school would usually pilot fees and attendance instead.
Can we set different room rates for busy and quiet periods?
Yes. You can set rates by room type and by date range, for example weekend, holiday and off-season rates, and the booking screen picks the right rate automatically. Reception can give a discount only if their role allows it, and each discount is recorded with the user's name. Owners can review rates and discounts later from the reports, including which staff gave the most discounts.
Can guests receive booking confirmations and bills on WhatsApp?
Yes. The system can send a booking confirmation with dates, room type and advance received, a reminder before arrival, and the final bill after checkout. Messages go out from the system when the booking or bill changes, so staff do not type them by hand. You choose the wording, and every message is logged against the booking in case a guest queries it later.
Can I see occupancy and cash from another city?
Yes. A secure web dashboard shows today's arrivals, departures, occupied rooms, bills, advances and cash collected by each user. You can open it on a phone or laptop anywhere with internet, and you can see who made each change. For a school or shop, the same kind of dashboard shows fees collected or daily sales and stock, so owners can check the numbers without calling anyone.
