The MGH difference
5 problems we solve that others leave to you
Plenty of apps can raise a GST invoice. These are the gaps that quietly cost Indian businesses time and money — and that MGH Books closes in one platform.
Your tools don't talk to each other
The usual way
Billing in one app, accounting in another, stock in a third — you re-enter the same data and the numbers never agree.
With MGH Books
One invoice updates billing, accounts, stock, GST and reports at once. A single connected system — not five apps stitched together.
You don't know the true cost of what you make
The usual way
Billing apps stop at the invoice; costing lives in spreadsheets, so pricing is a guess.
With MGH Books
Built-in Bill of Materials with industry templates costs every production run — materials, yield and wastage — so your MRP is based on real numbers.
Software shows data but never does the work
The usual way
Most tools give you reports; you still do the thinking — chasing payments, spotting risks, drafting replies.
With MGH Books
A built-in AI suite drafts invoices, forecasts cash, scores customers, reads bills (OCR) and even helps answer a GST notice — real work, not a chatbot.
Built for accountants, not for Bharat
The usual way
English-only screens and accounting jargon shut out the owner and staff who actually use it day to day.
With MGH Books
Plain-language screens in 10 Indian languages, works fully offline, and the GST/TDS/payroll rules run in the background for you.
Real capability costs ₹15k–₹20k+ a year
The usual way
Manufacturing, payroll, AI and multi-company usually mean premium licences or several paid add-ons.
With MGH Books
A genuinely free plan to start, and the full platform — up to 30 companies — at ₹9,999/year, with founding users getting it free for a year.
