One shop, five tools that never agree
- A receipt book at the counter,
- a stock sheet in Excel,
- the accountant’s ledgers,
- a punch machine on the wall
- and the bKash panel.
Every handover between them is a place where money leaks, and where the owner loses an evening every month. Dokandar is all five, entered once.
One item a line, with the quantity first. Try a product from the list below, a discount, or how the customer pays: cash, bKash, Nagad, card or bank.
Try:
- Scan or type. Barcodes, serial numbers and IMEIs, or a product’s name, code or model.
- Any way to pay. Cash, card, bank, bKash or Nagad, split in one sale, or on credit with the due followed up.
- Print or send. A4 invoice, POS receipt or delivery challan; a PDF by email; an SMS to the customer.
- Returns and quotations. Refunds and exchanges from the invoice; estimates that become invoices.

Before you switch
Do I have to install anything?
No. Everyone signs in at app.dokandarerp.com, on a computer or a phone, and each person’s sign-in opens their own business. A POS printer, a barcode scanner and an attendance device plug in the way they already do.
Can my staff work in Bangla while I work in English?
Yes. Each person picks the language of their own screens, and the business picks the language of its prints. Invoices, receipts and PDFs can be in Bangla, with Bangla digits and the amount in words.
Is my business kept apart from the others?
Every business has its own database, backed up every day. Backups are checked as they are made, and encrypted copies are kept off the server.
What happens if I pay a bill late?
The app becomes read-only until the payment is recorded: you can still look up every invoice and report, and nothing is ever deleted.
How many people can sign in?
Five staff and one administrator at the same time, each with a role that sets what they can read, enter, edit, delete and print, and in which branch.
Which couriers, devices and websites does it work with?
Steadfast and Pathao, and couriers of your own such as RedX or your riders. ZKTeco attendance devices. SMS through sms.bd or another gateway. WooCommerce, Shopify, or any website through the online shop API.
Can I bring my records from my old software?
Moving customers, products and balances across from an old system is the next thing being built. Until then, opening stock and dues are entered once, and a tutorial walks through it in fifteen minutes.
What does the AI assistant do?
Ask Dokandar how to do something or for a report, draft SMS in Bangla or English, read a supplier’s invoice from a photo into a purchase, and fill an enquiry from a pasted message. It uses your own Gemini, Claude or OpenAI key and only ever returns drafts for a person to save.
How do I pay?
By bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, with your business code on the payment. Paying inside the app is on the way.
