In 30 seconds

  • Start with the basics: email, website, Google profile.
  • Use WhatsApp Business, not normal WhatsApp.
  • Move registers to shared cloud sheets.
  • Custom software only when basics are not enough.

Who this is for: shops, clinics, institutes, gyms, salons, cafes, showrooms and service businesses in Punjab and across India.

The basics

  1. Business email on your own domain, like name@yourbusiness.com
  2. Website that works well on phones
  3. Google Business Profile for Maps and Search
  4. WhatsApp Business with catalogue and quick replies

The next level

  • Shared Google Sheets instead of paper registers
  • A simple CRM for leads and follow-ups
  • Online payments and invoices
  • Automatic backups

When to get custom software

When your process is unique, or you have many staff or branches. Our gym software sample shows what a custom system can look like.

Checklist

  • Domain email set
  • Website live
  • Google profile verified
  • WhatsApp Business set up
  • Data backed up

Common questions

Where do I start?

With a Google profile and WhatsApp Business. Both are free.

Is cloud data safe?

Google and similar services are generally safer than a single office computer, if you use strong passwords and two-step login.

Can one company handle all this?

Yes. We set up all of these for local businesses.
