Manufacturing
True cost per unit is unknowable because materials, labour and overhead live in different systems.
Sarudo Books · one-time $3,000
You find out how the month wentforty days after it ends.
Accounting, invoicing, inventory and purchasing in one system, on your server, with as many users as you like.
№ 01The Reality
Your accountant knows more about your company than you do.
Not because they are cleverer. Because the numbers live in their software, and you get to see them once a quarter, formatted for tax rather than for decisions.
So you run the business on instinct and a bank balance. You take on the big order without knowing the margin. You discover the cash problem in the week it becomes urgent rather than the month it became inevitable.
Meanwhile the same information is keyed in three times, once into the invoicing tool, once into a stock spreadsheet, once into the accounts package, and the three never quite agree. Someone spends every month-end finding out why.
A business that can see its own numbers weekly makes better decisions than one that sees them quarterly. That is the entire argument.
Built for businesses that recognise this
№ 02What You Get
Everything, configured around you
01
Chart of accounts built for your business
Structured for how you actually want to read the numbers, with your tax setup configured for your country, including India GST.
02
Opening balances migrated
Customers, suppliers, stock and balances brought across and reconciled to your last closed period before go-live.
03
Quotes, invoices and purchase orders
Your document templates, your numbering, your terms, flowing straight into the ledger instead of being re-keyed.
04
Inventory that ties to the accounts
Stock movements post to the ledger automatically, so stock value and the balance sheet stop disagreeing.
05
Bank reconciliation
Statement import and matching, so month-end takes an afternoon instead of a fortnight.
06
Receipts captured by photo
Sarudo reads a photographed receipt or supplier invoice and extracts the fields for posting. Your team stops typing.

You are buying an asset, not a tenancy
Software you rent gets more expensive every year, holds your data hostage, and can change its price or its terms without asking you. Software you own does none of those things.

If you never speak to us again, everything keeps running.
Admin credentials, server access and a written handover.
After handover
- No subscription, no retainer, no minimum term, and nothing that auto-renews.
- Support is bought by the hour, when you ask for it, in blocks of 10 hours at $50 an hour.
- Hours you have bought never expire, and unused hours are refundable at any time, for any reason.
It runs on your server
Your cloud account or ours. Either way the machine is yours, the database is yours, and nobody can switch it off from the outside.
It carries your brand
Your name, your logo, your colours, on your domain. Your team and your customers see your company, not a vendor you rent from.
There is no per-seat fee
Add your tenth user or your hundredth. The price does not move. You stop rationing who is allowed to see your own data.
Your data never leaves
Customer records, contracts and financials sit in a database you control, in a country you choose, exportable in full at any time.
You get the keys
Admin credentials, server access and a written handover. The server and the third-party accounts are in your name, so you decide whether the system keeps running, is exported, or is shut down.
One price, not a subscription
You pay once for the build. After that the only ongoing cost is the server itself, typically the price of a couple of coffees a week.
The things people actually ask
Will this file our tax return?
No, and that is deliberate. Sarudo Books prepares the complete filing package (the numbers, the schedules and the reports) and a human files it. We will not automate a submission to a tax authority, because an error there is not recoverable.
Will our accountant work with it?
Yes. They get their own login at no extra cost, and every standard report they need exports in the formats they already use. Most accountants prefer having live access to guessing from a year-end handover.
How disruptive is the migration?
We migrate to a clean period boundary (usually a month or year end) so there is one cutover date, not a period of running both. Opening balances are reconciled to your last closed period before you sign off.
Can it handle multiple currencies and locations?
Yes. Multi-currency, multi-warehouse and multi-branch consolidation are all part of the standard configuration.
What if we grow?
It scales without a licence conversation. The same system handles payroll, manufacturing, projects and CRM when you are ready for them. Those modules are enabled with configuration, not a new purchase.
