The debt notebook
Debts are kept on paper: if the notebook is lost or the employee leaves, nobody knows who owes how much.
Tracking credit sales: replace the debt notebook with a system
Letting regular customers buy on credit is a normal part of doing business. The trouble lies in keeping track of it: notebooks go missing, amounts slip from memory, and “but I already paid” arguments break out. When debts are tracked in a system, you always know exactly who owes how much and when they're due to pay.
Sound familiar?
Partial payments get confusing
The customer pays in installments, so the remaining balance has to be recalculated every time — and mistakes creep in.
Due dates slip by
Nobody wrote down when the debt should be repaid, and the reminder gets forgotten — money drops out of circulation.
Disputes and mistrust
There's no way to prove which goods were given on credit and when they were paid for.
How MasalaHal solves it
A card for every customer
The debt, payment history and remaining balance in one place — kept even when staff change.
Debt linked to the sale
Goods sold on credit are recorded with a receipt, so what was given, when and to whom is clear.
Partial payments
Every payment is entered, and the outstanding balance is recalculated automatically.
Due dates and reminders
A payment due date is set; lists of debts coming due and overdue are always ready. If needed, the responsible employee gets a Telegram reminder.
Total receivables report
Management sees total debt, the biggest debtors and overdue accounts on one screen.
Who needs it most
Building materials stores — when supplying contractors and site foremen; distribution companies — when goods are shipped to stores on credit; training centers — when monthly fees are paid late. In the ERP/CRM we built for the Vantage Learning Center, revenue and outstanding balances are likewise visible in one dashboard.
Also known as
This is also called accounts receivable tracking, customer debt management or a digital credit ledger. In Uzbek people say “nasiya hisobi”, “qarz daftari dasturi” or “debitorlik hisobi”, and in Russian “учёт долгов клиентов”, “продажа в долг” or “дебиторская задолженность”.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
For a store, it's done in connection with MasalaHal POS; for wholesale and distribution, in a CRM/ERP system. In a consultation we'll tell you which fits, based on your sales volume and number of customers.
Usually the reminder goes to the responsible employee, who then contacts the customer. If you need messages sent directly to customers (for example, via Telegram), we'll add that to the project too.
We set up credit limits for customers, and a warning when a limit is exceeded, to match your business rules.
Your current list of debts (in Excel or handwritten) is entered into the system once — after that, every new sale and payment is accounted for automatically.
