Orders scatter across chats
Thirty messages come in during the evening rush. You scroll, copy each onto a paper parchi, and one order quietly gets missed.
For kirana & grocery shops
Your customers already send orders on WhatsApp. Right now you copy each one onto a paper parchi, do the maths in your head, and hope the diary is up to date. ParchiBook turns the chat itself into an itemized bill, a picking list, and a khata entry.
Tap to parse & price the order
The problem
Thirty messages come in during the evening rush. You scroll, copy each onto a paper parchi, and one order quietly gets missed.
Rates change with the mandi. You total five items from memory at the counter, undercharge a little on each, and never notice the slow bleed.
“Likh dena” means it should go in the diary. By closing time you can’t remember who took what on udhaar, so the balance is a guess.
The delivery boy leaves with a fistful of parchis in no order, doubles back across the same gully twice, and forgets one house.
The insight
The order is already typed. The shopkeeper is re-doing, by hand, work the customer already finished.
So don’t build another ordering app nobody will download. Read the WhatsApp message that’s already there, match each line to your saved rates, and let the parchi, the bill, and the khata write themselves.
How it works
Copy the customer’s WhatsApp message and paste it in. ParchiBook reads it line by line — “2 kg aata”, “Maggi 4 packet”.
Each line is matched to your saved items by name or alias — case doesn’t matter, spelling need not be exact — and priced from your rate.
Anything it can’t match is flagged. Tap once to add the item and rate; next time it’s recognised on its own.
Out comes an itemized bill for the customer, a delivery-run list for the boy, and the amount is posted to that customer’s khata.
What it does
Reads a pasted WhatsApp order one line at a time, pulling out quantity, unit and item name.
Matches each line to your items by name or alias — case-insensitive and forgiving of typos — then prices it from your saved rate.
Anything unfamiliar is set aside with a one-tap “add to catalog”, so no line is silently dropped.
A clean bill with rates, quantities and total — ready to send back on WhatsApp or print for delivery.
Every order for the round rolls up into one picking-and-delivery list, so the boy packs once and doesn’t double back.
The bill total drops straight onto the customer’s running balance — no separate diary entry, no end-of-day guessing.

Pricing
We set pricing on a short discovery call and bill it as a simple monthly subscription — sized to your shop. Early users get founder terms. If a khata that never forgets saves you just a few undercharges and missed udhaar a day, ParchiBook has already earned its keep — with the delivery time saved on top.

Who it’s for
ParchiBook is for the kirana and grocery shop owner who takes orders on WhatsApp, delivers around the neighbourhood, and keeps a khata for regulars. If your day already looks like that, nothing new to learn — just paste and bill.
No. They keep ordering on WhatsApp exactly as they do now. ParchiBook only sits on your side, turning their message into a bill.
That line is flagged, not dropped. You tap once to add the item and its rate; from then on it’s matched automatically — the more you use it, the smarter your catalog gets.
Yes. It reads the way your customers actually type — “2 kg aata”, “doodh 1”, “chai patti 250g” — and matches on names and aliases you set in your own words.
Pricing is worked out on a quick discovery call and billed monthly on subscription. We’re keeping public prices off the page while we onboard our first users.
