Glass businesses have unique accounting challenges
The glass industry operates unlike any other.
You don’t just sell “pieces” you sell by size, square feet, and thickness, with constant customizations, wastage tracking, and cutting adjustments.
Add to that frequent returns, fragile stock, GST compliance, and complex billing — and the usual billing apps simply break.
That’s why hisabkitab built a dedicated Glass Industry Template, designed by Chartered Accountants and optimized with AI to handle everything — from cutting sheets to automated accounting.
Common problems faced by glass dealers & fabricators
Challenge | Impact | how hisabkitab helps |
