The operating problem
What needs to become clearer
A contractor can lose visibility when quotations, staged invoices and expenses are split between paper, WhatsApp messages and disconnected spreadsheets.
Recommended approach
Start with the workflow, then test the software
A useful demonstration should follow quotations, staged invoices and expenses, then test whether the current Vyapar plan handles the required records without adding complexity the staff will not maintain.
