Okara, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Okara for Agri Traders, Input Dealers and Schools
For dealers who sell on credit until harvest, traders who buy, weigh and store produce, and schools that collect fees every month: one system that knows who owes what, what is in store and what falls due next.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build crop-credit, produce trading, weighbridge and school fee systems for Okara agri-input dealers, commodity traders and 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 Okara build custom software
Okara is in Punjab, between Lahore and Sahiwal on the Lahore to Multan route. The buyers we have in mind here are agri-input dealers who sell seed, fertiliser and sprays on credit until the crop is sold, commodity traders who buy produce from growers, weigh it, store it and sell it on, and private schools that run on monthly fees. Their work looks different, but the trouble is shared: balances, weights and dues scattered across khata registers, weighing slips and phone messages. A custom system keeps one ledger per farmer, grower or student, and shows what is owed and when it is due.
Software we build for Okara businesses
Crop-season credit ledger for input dealers
Seed, fertiliser and spray sales are recorded against each farmer with the crop season they belong to and the date payment is expected. Part payments are entered as they come in, and the system lists balances due after each harvest by village or by salesman. Reminder messages can go out by SMS or WhatsApp, and the owner sees total credit outstanding for the season on one screen.
Produce purchase, weighing and storage records
Each purchase from a grower is recorded with the weight, agreed deductions and rate, and the reading can come straight from a connected weighbridge where you have one. Lots are tracked in storage until they are sold, and each sale is matched to its buyer, commission and payment. You can see stock by lot and what is owed to growers at any time.
Village recovery app for dealer staff
Recovery staff visiting farmers carry a Flutter app that shows each farmer's balance and records payments on the spot, even with no signal. Entries sync to the office when the phone reconnects, and the farmer can receive a payment confirmation by SMS. The owner sees each day's recoveries by staff member without waiting for them to return with a notebook.
School fee, attendance and results system
A school system issues monthly fee vouchers by class, applies concessions, records payments and lists defaulters. Teachers mark attendance on a phone or desk screen, and parents can receive an SMS when a child is absent. Exam marks are entered once and turn into printed result cards, so the office is not rebuilding the same data in three registers every term.

Why work with Timeline Digital from Okara
Credit that closes at harvest is built in
Dealer and trader ledgers here are organised by crop season, not only by month. We design around season-long credit, part payments and recovery rounds from the start, instead of forcing a retail template onto an agri business.
Planning sessions kept clear of peak days
We work with Okara clients remotely from our Islamabad headquarters, and we schedule calls around your busy buying and selling days. Screen-sharing sessions are short and focused. Any on-site visit is agreed in the contract.
Counter screens in Urdu
Dealers' counter staff and school office clerks can work with Urdu labels, while item codes, amounts and reports stay in the format your accountant prefers.
Offline for field rounds
The recovery app and weighing screens save entries locally when the network drops and sync later, so field work and weighing do not stop for a weak signal or a power cut.
- Our only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad; Okara clients are served remotely
- 2 to 3 key modules built free as a pilot for your team to test
- Urdu labels for counter and office staff
- Offline-capable field and weighing screens
What a custom system could do for Okara businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Seed and fertiliser dealer
A seed and fertiliser dealer could record every credit sale against the farmer and crop season, then run recovery rounds from a list of balances due after harvest.
Produce trader with storage
A produce trader could take weights from the weighbridge, track each stored lot until sale and settle grower payments and commission from the same record.
School with primary and secondary sections
A school with primary and secondary sections could issue fee vouchers by class, alert parents to absences by SMS and print term result cards from marks entered once.
Frequently asked questions
Our business is in Okara. Can you run the whole project from Islamabad?
Yes. Timeline Digital's only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and we serve Okara clients remotely from our Islamabad headquarters. We learn your process over video calls and screen sharing, show progress on working screens and answer day-to-day questions on WhatsApp during office hours. Your staff are trained online. If the project needs a visit, for example to connect a weighbridge, it is agreed in the contract before work starts.
Which modules would an Okara dealer try first in the free pilot?
Dealers usually pick the crop-season credit ledger, farmer payments and the recovery list, because that is where most money is tied up. We build 2 to 3 of your key modules as working software, free of charge, before you commit to the full project. Your counter staff and recovery staff use them with real farmers' balances, and the full build starts only after you approve the pilot.
Can the system handle credit that is only settled after harvest?
Yes. Each credit sale is tagged with the crop season and an expected payment date, so the system does not treat it as overdue at the end of the month. Farmers can pay in parts, and each part payment reduces the right balance. After harvest you get a recovery list by village or salesman, and balances carried into the next season stay visible with their full history.
Can counter staff work on the software in Urdu?
Yes. Menus, field names and printed slips can carry Urdu labels, so counter staff read the screens comfortably. Amounts, dates and item codes can stay in English numerals if your accountant prefers, and owners can switch their own screens to English. We agree the wording of labels with your staff during planning, so the terms on screen match the words they already use at the counter.
Can a weighbridge reading go straight into the purchase record?
Where your weighbridge indicator can send its reading to a computer, the purchase screen can take the weight directly, which removes copying errors from weighing slips. We check your equipment model and connection type during planning. If a direct link is not possible, the operator enters the weight once and the printed slip, purchase record and grower's balance all use that same figure.
