Trusted by Media & Agency Leaders in Kerala
Agencies run dozens of overlapping client projects, freelancers and retainers, yet creative talent rarely loves admin. Hours go unlogged, change requests blur the original scope and milestone invoices get raised late, so the work looks busy while cash flow and utilisation quietly suffer.
Our ERPNext implementations close this gap with a 100% open-source framework that adapts exactly to how Media & Agency businesses in Kerala actually operate — eliminating data silos and vendor lock-in for good.

The rule that catches Kerala businesses is not the filing calendar — it is what an invalid invoice does to your customer. E-invoicing is mandatory once aggregate annual turnover has exceeded INR 5 crore in any financial year since 2017–18, and an invoice issued without a valid IRN and QR code is not a valid invoice. Your buyer cannot claim Input Tax Credit against it. That turns a back-office slip into a commercial problem, because the customer feels it directly.
Two details are routinely missed. First, the obligation is permanent: cross the threshold once and it continues to apply even if turnover later falls. Second, businesses at INR 10 crore and above have had to report invoices to the IRP within 30 days since 1 April 2025 — a window that quietly ends the habit of raising documents late.
Add e-way bills on goods movement, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B cadence, and TDS/TCS touchpoints, and the system has to produce compliance as a by-product of trading rather than as a monthly scramble.
Kerala’s commercial base is unusually export-facing and unusually seasonal: spices, cashew, rubber, coir, seafood and tea, alongside a substantial gold and jewellery trade centred on Thrissur, plus tourism and ayurveda.
Those sectors share awkward requirements that generic systems handle badly. Agricultural and marine commodities need lot and batch traceability with grade-based pricing, because two consignments of the same item are not the same item. Export businesses need documentation and duty drawback handled inside the same ledger. Jewellery needs weight-based valuation, purity and making charges rather than simple unit pricing. And Malayalam-language support at the counter is a practical requirement, not a courtesy.
