Whether you're running a cab fleet, a transport business, or a vehicle service garage, your day is made up of many small transactions — trips, service jobs, spare parts, fuel — and keeping them all straight by hand gets messy fast. LKG for Billing keeps the invoicing, expenses, and payment reconciliation in one place.

Invoice trips and service jobs the same way

Whether you're billing a customer for a one-off trip, a monthly transport contract, or a vehicle service job, the invoice creation form handles it the same way — add the line items (trip charge, service labor, parts used), apply GST, and generate a compliant invoice.

Invoice creation form for a service business

For a garage or service center, this means listing out labor charges alongside the specific parts replaced on a job, so the customer gets an itemized bill rather than a single lump-sum charge — and you have a clear record of what was billed for each vehicle that comes through.

Track fuel, maintenance, and parts as business expenses

Running vehicles costs money continuously — fuel, routine maintenance, spare parts, insurance — and separating these from your revenue is essential to knowing whether you're actually profitable. The business expenses screen lets you log these costs as they happen, categorized so you can see where your money is going.

For a cab operator, this means logging fuel fill-ups and vehicle servicing against the business rather than losing track of them in a personal account. For a garage, it means tracking the cost of parts you buy in bulk separately from what you bill customers for using them — which is what makes your profit-loss numbers meaningful.

Reconcile daily cash and digital collections

Cab and transport businesses typically collect payment in a mix of cash, UPI, and card — often across many small transactions in a single day. LKG for Billing's payment recording captures each payment against its invoice, and the payment report lets you see collections broken down by method and by day.

That matters at the end of a shift or a business day: instead of manually adding up cash in hand and cross-checking it against digital payment app records, you can pull up the payment report and reconcile what should have come in against what actually did.

Reports that tie it together

Beyond individual invoices, LKG for Billing's financial reports give you the bigger picture:

  • Sales trends / sales report — see which routes, services, or job types are generating the most revenue
  • Billwise/partywise profit-loss — check profitability on individual jobs or per customer
  • Cash flow and P&L — understand overall business health across trips, service jobs, and expenses
  • GST report — keep tax filing accurate across every invoice you've raised

For a garage running multiple vehicle service bays, or a transport business managing several routes, these reports also help you spot patterns — like a recurring maintenance cost on one vehicle that's eating into its profitability, or a service type that consistently brings in more revenue than others.

Start with the free plan

If you're a small operator or a single-garage business, the offline app's Free plan is ₹0 forever, with no credit card and no expiry — 10 invoices/month, 10 customers, 20 products, and unlimited users on the same LAN network. That's often enough for a small transport or service business to get started without any upfront cost. A free 30-day cloud trial is also available with the same limits.
