Built for textile traders associations in cloth markets: keep wholesale shops, commission agents and membership fees, receipts and meeting attendance in one app the market committee can actually use.
A textile traders association is a market body. Members are shops and agents who are on the floor from morning. The secretary’s problem is records, not design software.
Wholesale shops, commission agents and small job-workers sit in one body with different fees, but the register is one column of names.
Dues come in around Diwali or the wedding season, in cash, in a rush. Receipts are written fast and then cannot be found in March.
A shop is handed to a son or a partner. The association still prints last year’s visiting card in the directory.
AGM notices go on a blackboard. Attendance is a signature that nobody types, so the next committee cannot see who came.
A member wants a shop that does only suiting, or only sarees, and has to walk the lane asking.
By the time the treasurer sits with the bank, half the shops say they already paid someone in the committee.
Each card is a feature available in Associan today.
A trader applies with firm name, GST, stall or shop number and category, from a phone between customers.
Set separate fees for wholesale shop, commission agent and associate, each with its own period.
Members pay from the shop. Cash still collected in the hall is entered against the same member.
Every payment creates a numbered PDF receipt in the association’s name.
Members search by category and city to find a suiting shop, a saree wholesaler or an agent.
Put the AGM on the calendar and scan member passes at the door instead of passing a register.
Two weeks before the busy month, the secretary emails shops whose membership ends this quarter, with the fee and a payment link. Shops that pay from the gaddi get a receipt immediately. The treasurer stops writing books at night.
A new commission agent applies with GST during a quiet afternoon. The committee sees the application after market hours. If your body takes the fee first, the agent pays by UPI before the card is issued.
The AGM in the market hall starts with a volunteer scanning passes. Afterwards the unpaid list is an export, and the next committee inherits the same shop directory.
Receipts issue themselves; the treasurer is not writing names at midnight.
Shops update their own category and phone.
Every payment sits on the member, cash or online.
The next secretary logs in to the same records.
The same simple flow for every textile trader, set up for your association in about a day.
Post it in your group or on your letterhead. Each textile trader fills the form on their phone.
Firm details, GST and the documents your committee needs are uploaded with the application.
The committee approves and the fee is paid online, or recorded if paid by cash or cheque.
Membership number, PDF receipt, certificate and QR member pass are issued automatically.
AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
