‘Tig app’ for easy business accounting

Until a few years ago, business accounts had to be kept in the books. If you turn your back to look for someone’s account, sometimes it was difficult to find it. The account book kept in the trunk was not even safe.

There were many possibilities like being eaten by rats, torn, lost, burnt. At that time there was no digital technology like it is now. With the passage of time technology evolved and everything started to be kept in software.

Lately, every service has started to be available online. Along with services, businesses are also becoming digital. Businesses that used to keep their accounting books on paper are now starting to keep their accounting books on software. There are many software available in the market for this. One such software is ‘tig’ ।

About 2 years ago, BIC Technology released the cloud-based software Tig. This website and mobile app Both ways can be used.

Prarthana Shakh, co-founder and chief business officer of Tig, said that Tig was launched to facilitate small and medium enterprises (MMEs).

There were a lot of accounting and inventory management software abroad, but there was not much in Nepal. However, it was difficult to use,’ she said to ICITY news, ‘in such a situation, we have started a tag together with charted accountants, management and engineering groups to ensure that there should be software in Nepal that can be easily used by all businesses.’

Although the practice of keeping accounts in the app is old abroad, it was just flourishing in Nepal. Businesses were going digital. The Corona epidemic forced many businesses and services to go digital.

At that time, a group of energetic young people who were working in accounting, management and engineering and had a desire to do something in the country saw a problem in accounting digitization. After that, the prayerful team started to create an app that takes business accounting and inventory to digital. Then ‘Tig’ was born.

Tig is not a new software that digitizes business accounting books. Even before that, software was available in the market. But if that software only ran on a desktop, it was very difficult to use it. If Tig ended this problem, it could be used easily from desktop, laptop, mobile, tablet by any means.

She says that the branch can be used easily even by people who do not know Tig Debit Credit. ‘Tig is easy to use. A person who has not studied accounting can easily use it. Even people who don’t know debit and credit can use TIG,’ she says confidently, ‘We have designed TIG so that it can be used easily.’

You can do accounting work, manage inventory from Tig. TIG is a software certified by the Department of Internal Revenue. Therefore, the work of e-billing can also be done from this.

In Tig, you can also take a photo of the book to calculate the old wheel, which is not available in other apps. Day, month and year sales data can be viewed on the dashboard. 41 different reports can be generated from Tig.
She remembers that it was very difficult to explain TIG to businesses in the beginning.

‘Initially, there was a problem in explaining the business about TIG. At that time, they used to keep accounting books on a desktop or on a desktop,’ says Prarthana, recalling the days of the past, ‘at that time, it was very difficult to understand that accounting books can be kept through websites and mobile phones. But gradually you started to understand.’
