The night shift, on autopilot.
A customer asks kitna baki hai at 9 pm. takkada.ai replies from your Tally books with the balance and the statement, notes his payment promise, and posts the money when it lands. You read the whole night at 7 am.

The second shift
The shop closes at 8. The phone does not.
After the shutter comes down, the second shift starts. "Bhai kitna baki hai." "Statement bhej do." "Kal pakka." Balance requests to answer, payments to chase, promises to remember. Most owners give that work two hours every evening, unpaid.
The books already know every answer. You are the one typing it into WhatsApp, one party at a time. That job, the whole night shift of it, is the job takkada.ai takes.
The night staff
Three night jobs, off your plate

Balance requests answer themselves
When a party asks kitna baki hai or statement bhej do, takkada.ai replies with the live balance from your Tally books and attaches the statement PDF. The party gets his answer in a minute instead of waiting for you to reach the counter.

Payment reminders go out on schedule
Parties with dues get a polite reminder on WhatsApp, then a follow-up if it goes quiet. When a payment lands, the reminders stop on their own. You set the tone and the schedule once, and the autopilot keeps it running.

Payments land back in your books
When the customer pays, takkada matches the receipt against the invoice and your ledger updates. Every rupee that came in overnight is posted before you open the shop.

The day shift
Orders become invoices, on their own
The night staff keeps day hours too. A customer sends the order on WhatsApp. takkada.ai reads it, raises the sales invoice in your books, generates the e-invoice and the e-way bill, and sends the bill back. No one at your counter typed a line.
The order comes in as a message
A party messages the order the way they always do. takkada.ai reads the items and the party, takes the rate from your books, and replies with the invoice attached. The order never waits for someone to open Tally.
The invoice, e-invoice and e-way bill raise themselves
The moment the order is confirmed, takkada.ai posts the sales invoice to your books, files the e-invoice for the IRN, and generates the e-way bill for the truck. The same autopilot handles the other documents the day produces. Delivery challans, sales orders, whatever the goods need to move.

Straight talk
The three doubts, answered straight
Every owner asks the same three questions before letting anything near his books. Fair questions. Plain answers.
What if the AI quotes a wrong balance?
Every reply is read from your Tally books at the moment it is sent. The balance it quotes is the balance your accountant sees, and every reply sits in your log with the entry it came from.
Where does my data go?
Each party is sent his own account and nothing else. Your books stay yours. We sell software, never data, and the morning report shows you everything that went out, line by line.
What if it spoils my books?
The autopilot starts read-only: it answers and reminds without writing anything. Posting begins only where you sanction it, entry by entry. It can never delete a voucher, change a rate, or pay anyone.
A fourth doubt is welcome. Ask it on WhatsApp and a founder answers it himself.
Ask on WhatsAppBuilt on takkada
Answers from your real books
Every reply takkada.ai sends comes from your actual ledger. It runs on takkada, our Tally companion that keeps the desktop books and the phone in sync. Your Tally stays exactly where it is.
A WhatsApp tool cannot quote a balance it does not hold, and a books package cannot send it anywhere. takkada.ai holds both, the books and the channel, at one desk. That is why the balance it quotes is the balance in your books, and the receipt it records is the one your accountant sees.

For the record
A note for the other reader
Most software for Indian businesses keeps score. The work it counts, answering parties, chasing payments, recording receipts, raising invoices, still happens by hand, on WhatsApp, after hours.
takkada.ai does that work from the books themselves. It runs on takkada, our live Tally companion, because an autopilot is only trustworthy when it holds the books it speaks for. The free-ledger decade proved owners will not pay to keep score twice. They pay when the work disappears.
