Sheikhupura, Punjab · Custom software company, built from Islamabad
Software House in Sheikhupura for Factories, Dispatch and Distribution
For factories and distributors whose shift output, gate passes and delivery challans sit in separate registers and WhatsApp groups: one system from raw material in to finished goods out, with every delivery traced to its order.
Timeline Digital is a custom software development company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Islamabad. We build production, dispatch, warehouse and route-sales systems for Sheikhupura factories and distributors, 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 Sheikhupura build custom software
Sheikhupura is in Punjab, north-west of Lahore. This page is for two kinds of buyer there: factories that need to follow production from raw material to the factory gate, and distributors whose vehicles carry stock out to shops and back with cash. A factory owner wants to know what each shift produced, what was rejected and which order every load left against. A distributor wants warehouse stock that matches the books and a clear list of shops that still owe money. When those records live in shift registers, gate books and photos of challans on WhatsApp, the full picture only appears at month end. A custom system records each step once and shows it to the right person the same day.
Software we build for Sheikhupura businesses
Shift production and raw material log
Each shift records raw material issued, line output, rejects and downtime on a tablet or desk screen. Supervisors confirm the counts before the shift closes, and the owner sees yesterday's output against the plan each morning. Material used is matched against what was produced, so shortages or waste show up within days rather than at the monthly stock count. Floor screens can carry Urdu labels.
Gate pass and dispatch control
Nothing leaves the factory without a gate pass raised from a confirmed order. The system prints the delivery challan, records the vehicle and driver, and reduces finished stock at the moment of dispatch. When a customer reports a short delivery, you open the order, the gate pass and the signed challan together instead of searching through registers.
Route sales and collections app for distributors
Order bookers take shop orders on a Flutter app that keeps working on a weak signal and syncs when the connection returns. Drivers mark each delivery and the cash or cheque collected on the route. Every shop's balance updates the same day, and you can see which routes are overdue before the next load goes out.
Multi-godown stock and transfers
If stock sits in more than one godown, each location gets its own stock view, transfer notes and reorder levels. Barcode labels can be added where volumes justify them. Physical counts are entered against the system figure, every difference is recorded with a reason, and each adjustment keeps an audit history of who changed what and when.
Factory attendance and wage sheets
For factories with shift workers and piece-rate staff, attendance, overtime and advances are entered daily and turned into a wage sheet at the end of the period. Supervisors enter, accounts approves, and each worker's history stays in one place. The totals can be passed to your existing accounting tool so nobody types them in twice.

How we work
How we build custom software for Sheikhupura businesses
Custom software built around the way your business works. Every Sheikhupura 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 Sheikhupura
Remote delivery that respects the shift
We work with Sheikhupura clients from our Islamabad headquarters over video calls, screen sharing and WhatsApp, so your managers are not pulled off the floor for long meetings. Sessions can be booked around shift changes. If the project needs someone at the factory, that visit is agreed in the contract beforehand.
Screens made for the floor and the gate
Production and dispatch entries are quick and plain, with only the fields a supervisor or gatekeeper needs. Owner reports are built from those same entries, so nobody retypes shift data into a spreadsheet the next morning.
No gap in the dispatch record during power cuts
Gate and production screens can keep working offline and sync once power or internet returns, so an hour of load-shedding does not leave loads unrecorded.
Code and audit trail you keep
Source code is transferred to you on full payment, as set out in the agreement. Every change to stock, orders or wages carries an audit history your accountant can review.
- Only office: G-11 Markaz, Islamabad; Sheikhupura clients are served remotely
- Free pilot: 2 to 3 of your key modules built before you commit
- Offline-capable gate and production screens
- Source code transferred to you on full payment, as set out in the agreement
What a custom system could do for Sheikhupura businesses
Example workflows for common types of business. They show what a system can do; they are not client case studies.
Production unit
A production unit could record raw material issue and shift output on the floor, then link each finished batch to the order and gate pass it left with.
Distributor supplying shops
A distributor could plan daily loads by route, capture shop orders on a phone app and match every delivery challan with the cash or cheque collected.
Goods transport operator
A goods transport operator could log each trip with vehicle, driver, freight and expenses, and see which customers still owe for completed trips.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Timeline Digital office in Sheikhupura or Lahore?
No. We have no office in Sheikhupura or Lahore; our only office is in G-11 Markaz, Islamabad, and Sheikhupura factories and distributors are served remotely from there. We walk through your production and dispatch flow on a video call, often with a supervisor showing the floor on a phone camera, and review each module on screen before it goes live. If go-live needs one of our people at the factory, that visit is written into the contract before work starts.
Which modules would a Sheikhupura factory usually test in the free pilot?
Most factories choose the two or three steps where mistakes cost them most. Often that means shift production entry, gate pass and dispatch, and finished goods stock. Before you commit to the full project, we build those 2 to 3 key modules as working software, free of charge. Your supervisors and dispatch staff try them on real orders, and the full build starts only after you approve the pilot. What your team learns in the pilot then shapes the plan for the remaining modules.
Can the gate and dispatch screens keep working when the power goes off?
Yes. Screens that must not stop, such as gate passes, dispatch and production entry, can be built to save entries on the local machine while power or internet is down. When the connection returns, those entries sync to the main database in the order they were made. Staff do not need to rewrite anything from paper afterwards, and the owner's reports simply catch up once the sync finishes.
Can one system handle stock held in two or three godowns?
Yes. Each godown is set up as its own location with its own stock, and goods move between them on transfer notes that both sides confirm. You can see stock for one godown or for all of them together, set reorder levels per location, and check which godown is holding slow-moving items. Stock count differences are recorded with a reason, so the history stays clear for accounts.
We already use an accounting package. Do we have to replace it?
Usually not. Many factories and distributors keep their accounting tool and add a custom system for production, stock, dispatch and collections. We connect the two where the accounting tool allows it, or export daily or monthly totals in a format your accountant can import. During planning we agree which records live where, so sales, purchases and payments are not entered twice by different people.
