Everything you need

One workspace for your whole back office

From the first quotation to the year-end report and the monthly payroll — without spreadsheets, without surprises.

🧾

Quotations to cash

Branded quotations you can revise with new prices, the customer's acceptance on record, sales orders, signed delivery notes and invoices — each one a click from the last, with your stamp and signature printed on. Discount any line or the whole document, always before VAT.

💳

Payments, advances & refunds

Allocate receipts across invoices, track post-dated cheques, and hold a client's advance for the job it was paid for — "2 of 5 done" — until it's used. Credit a paid invoice and refund the customer, with the books following every step.

🏢

Purchase orders, bills & vendors

Record the supplier's confirmation and promised date, receive each delivery against its delivery note, approve the bill against the supplier's invoice and pay it with proof — then send the supplier a payment voucher and remittance advice listing their own invoice numbers. A payment made in error can be voided. Debit notes claim back what you're owed.

🧮

VAT & GST tax tracking

UAE VAT and India GST ready: tax returns, audit reports, configurable rates, and period locks so filed quarters stay frozen. Tax invoices print in English, Arabic or both. Prices can include VAT: type the round figure the customer pays, such as 35.00, and every invoice and quotation comes to exactly that.

📦

Products & stock inventory

Every purchase and sale moves stock automatically, with weighted-average valuation posted straight to your accounts. Batches carry their expiry date, leave soonest-expiry first and can be traced for a supplier recall, Committed and Available show what's already promised on open orders, every adjustment states its reason, and transfers between stores stay in transit until the receiving store counts them. Low-stock alerts, goods sold by weight and a barcode label designer are included.

👔

Payroll & WPS Add-on

Employees, pay runs, overtime and stamped payslips. Produce the WPS salary file and a covering letter for the bank, keep the bank's reference when a run is paid, and get reminders before staff documents expire. Pay leave salary before a vacation, export any payroll table to Excel or PDF, and download an employee's whole record as one PDF.

📊

Reports, banking & OCR

Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, Trial Balance and General Ledger from one immutable double-entry journal. Match bank lines to the books, scan receipts straight into a form, and export any table as a workbook.

🏗️

Projects & job costing

Give each customer projects with a contract value, cost budget and site, record variations as the job changes, hold retention until hand-over and bill by progress claim. Quotations, orders, invoices, bills and expenses are tagged to the project, invoices can't bill past the contract, overspends are flagged, and a profitability report shows every project's margin. Log manpower hours against each project and invoice them at your hourly rate, never twice.

🎁

Offers, groups & rewards

Name customer groups like Trade, Staff or Wholesale, give them their own price list, and decide who buys on account. Run promotions for one group, plus loyalty tiers, points, gift cards and vouchers with printable cards.

👥

Multi-user, approvals & audit

Granular per-module permissions, approvals with "pass to a colleague" who can act on it, two-factor sign-in the owner can make compulsory for everyone, and a history on every record showing who changed it and from where.

📱

Customer portal, WhatsApp & mobile

Send a customer a private link, no login needed, to see what they owe, their invoices, quotations, payments and a 12-month statement. Documents go by email or WhatsApp with a full send history, and the companion mobile app puts alerts and the client file on your phone.

🚀

Move in without the mess

An opening-balances wizard, a sample Excel file for every import and a guided migration wizard. A Help Centre and guided tours in English and Arabic come with every plan.

Every document knows the next step

From the first quote to the last fils

Each document becomes the next one with a click, and the paper trail — acceptances, signed delivery notes, supplier invoices, payment proof — stays attached to the record it belongs to.

Selling

Revise a quotation the customer already has, record their acceptance and book it as a sales order. Goods leave on a delivery note that comes back signed.

Grows with your business

One set of books behind the counter, the payroll and your phone

Add modules to your licence as you need them. They all work from the same customers, products, prices and tax as your books, so there is never a second price list or a second customer file to keep in step.

  • ILX POS — point of sale. Touch checkout with integrated card payments with Network International (N-Genius), favourites, staff sales and emailed receipts, shifts and cash drawer, a counter dashboard, offline selling that survives a reload and still reaches the books, a customer-facing screen on the same PC or another device, and head-office comparison across branches.
  • Counters reconciled to the books. A reconciliation report sets each counter's sales against the invoices, payments, stock and tax in your accounts, and names every exception.
  • Payroll & WPS. Pay runs, payslips, WPS salary files, a letter the bank can act on, leave salary paid before a vacation, and staff document expiry reminders.
  • Loyalty, gift cards & offers. One programme across the counter and your invoices — tiers, points that expire, gift cards, vouchers and promotions for chosen customer groups.
  • Mobile companion app — on every plan. Notifications that open the record they're about, the whole client file, quotations issued from the phone and pay runs to review on the move.
What's new

Always getting better

Every release is tested automatically before it ships, and hosted customers get it without lifting a finger.

Latest release 1.12.46October 2026

1.12.28 – 1.12.46

A discount on every product, and shelf tags to print

On a weekly offer, give each product its own offer price, percentage or amount off; the till works it out from the shelf price at the moment of sale. Print shelf tags on A4 with the old price struck through, the offer price, the saving and the end date, 2 or 3 across, in red, yellow or green. A tag designer lets you lay out your own, with Arabic names, barcodes and your logo, group pieces to move them as one and lock them so nothing shifts by accident, with smart guides that snap each piece into line with the others and with the edges and middle of the tag, and a tag never shows a price the till won't charge. Save several tag templates, such as a Ramadan tag, print each tag several times for multiple facings, set one discount for a whole list of products, and print an A4 price list for an offer or a whole campaign. Tag colours stay readable automatically, and one-click styles, from Classic red to Premium gold and gradient backgrounds, recolour a whole tag while keeping your layout, including festive styles for Ramadan and Eid, Eid al-Adha, Onam, Diwali, Christmas, New Year, National Day and Black Friday.

1.12.01 – 1.12.17

A cleaner, faster workspace

Every record page now opens with its key figures and status at a glance. Start a sales order from a quotation, and the currency is set for you from the customer. Drag a file in or paste it, and preview what you filed without downloading it. A setup bar on each dashboard shows what is left to set up, internal notes never print on the customer's PDF, and saving stays fast however long your history grows.

1.11.96 – 1.12.23

Safer sign-in, and more on your phone

Approve a web sign-in from the ILX Suite app by tapping the number shown on screen. The owner can suspend and reactivate an account, which signs it out everywhere while its records stay. On the phone, open a project with all its figures, start a new one, see who is overdue and send a payment reminder.

1.11.94 · 1.11.95

VAT on what you buy, done right

Every expense and bill line says how its VAT is treated: reclaimed, blocked into the cost, zero-rated, exempt, out of scope, or reverse-charged for a supplier abroad, with the self-assessment posted and shown on the return. Record costs paid from the owner's or an employee's pocket and repay them later, re-charge expenses to a customer at cost, and record "no receipt" with a reason. Delivery apps that bill from abroad are reverse-charged too.

1.11.89 – 1.11.93

Take Talabat, Noon and Keeta orders straight into your POS

Orders from Talabat, Noon Food, Smiles, Keeta, Careem, Deliveroo or your own website land on a live board that chimes. Accept with a preparation time and the order is rung up at the app's prices and sent to the kitchen; mark it ready and handed to the rider, and the app is told each step. Each app's money waits in its own clearing account, and entering its payout statement books the commission as a bill with reclaimable VAT. An Online orders report shows which app earns you the most, the commission each one keeps, and how quickly the kitchen answers and cooks. At rush hour, add time to new orders or pause an app; print a bag slip for each order; and VAT stays right on app-funded discounts, delivery fees and cash on delivery.

1.11.84 – 1.11.87

Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and more currencies

Keep your books in Kuwaiti dinar, Bahraini dinar or Omani rial, with all three decimal places on prices, VAT, totals, journals, invoices, exports and till receipts, and amounts in words in fils or baisa. VAT follows the country: Bahrain 10%, Oman 5%, Kuwait none. At the counter, cash can round to 5, 10 or 25 fils. With Multi-currency on, set a rate for each currency and invoice, bill or pay in dirhams, rupees, dinars, rials, US dollars, euros or pounds: the books convert to your own currency automatically, and a currency without a rate is never offered. Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Omani payroll runs to the fil, from salaries to gratuity.

1.11.80 – 1.11.83

Ready for UAE e-invoicing

When you choose your Accredited Service Provider, switch it on and connect by file export or API. Invoices and credit notes for business and government customers are produced in the UAE PINT AE format with the right VAT category on every line. A "Before sending" checklist catches missing details, each invoice shows whether it was sent, delivered and reported to the FTA, and failed sends retry by themselves. E-invoices you receive are listed too, and a pictured tutorial walks you through it in English and Arabic.

1.11.77

Manpower hours on every project, and an export on every list

Attendance and overtime record which project each day was worked on, with hours. Each project shows its manpower by employee, trade or day, with an estimated labour cost, and "Invoice these hours" bills the customer at your hourly rate, never twice. Vacations can be planned, approved and returned, and leave salary is paid from them. The employee profile PDF lets you choose its sections, with a salary certificate preset. Every list now exports to Excel and PDF, following your filters, and every multi-page PDF shows "Page X of Y".

1.11.75 · 1.11.76

Zero-rated and exempt customers

Set a customer to Standard, Zero-rated or Exempt, with the reason and certificate number. Their quotations, orders and invoices are charged 0% automatically, each line is labelled, and the tax invoice prints "Zero-rated supply" with the reason. A single line can still carry VAT on purpose. The VAT return and audit split sales into standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt boxes. The till prices these customers at 0% VAT too, and the receipt shows why, with the certificate reference.

1.11.73

Leave salary, and an employee's whole record in one PDF

Pay leave salary before a vacation, with its own slip: the next payroll takes those days out of the salary automatically and pays back any days worked after all, so leave is never paid twice. Download an employee's whole record as one PDF: details, documents with expiry status, salary, gratuity and leave workings, vacations, pay history, overtime, advances and attendance. Every payroll table now exports to Excel and PDF.

1.11.67 – 1.11.70

Retention and progress claims for construction

Hold back 5% (or your rate) of each project invoice until hand-over: the tax invoice keeps its full total and VAT, and the held amount is never shown as overdue until you release it. Bill by % complete to date, variations included: the claim PDF shows the contract, gross completed, previously claimed, this claim, retention and the amount due now. Retention works the other way too: hold back part of each subcontractor's bill until their work is handed over. A Retentions report shows everything held, both ways, with PDF and Excel export.

1.11.63 – 1.11.81

Every dirham accounted for at the counter

Card refunds go back through the card machine. Drawer cash in and out records where it came from or went, and any shortage at close posts to its own account. Returns put goods back in stock (or keep damaged ones out), a double-pressed refund can't pay twice, and a card charge with no sale is flagged until a supervisor clears it. Card takings can wait in a clearing account until the card company pays out, and a till can print a full tax invoice with the customer's name and TRN. Customers can now also pay by bank transfer at the till, and a Price check button shows any item's price today and stock without adding it to the sale. Each counter can also switch promotions and loyalty points off, for a staff canteen or wholesale desk. Add your own ways to pay, such as Tabby, Talabat, a wallet or Apple Pay: each becomes a button at the till, posts where you choose in the books and refunds the same way. Emailed receipts now carry your logo and brand colour, and every POS list and report prints or exports to Excel. Shifts print X and Z reports, an end-of-day Z adds up every counter, a supervisor can approve a sale over a credit limit, and the till installs as its own app in Chrome or Edge.

Up and running in minutes

Install. Activate. Work securely.

Host it on your server or your own PC — your license keeps it genuine, online or offline.

1

Install

Deploy ILX Books to your hosting or local machine. No vendor lock-in — your database is yours.

2

Activate your license

Drop in your license key. The app verifies it securely with our servers — just like QuickBooks or Adobe.

3

Work securely

Invoice, reconcile and report. Your license re-validates quietly in the background — and keeps working offline.

License security

Genuine software, verified in real time

Every copy of ILX Books carries a cryptographically signed license and checks in with our validation servers — exactly like QuickBooks, Adobe and Xero. The difference: it keeps working when you're offline.

  • Cryptographic license file. RSA-signed (PKCS#1 · SHA-256) and verified offline on every boot — edit the file and the app stops accepting writes.
  • Machine activation (Offline PC only). On a buy-once Offline PC install the licence is tied to that computer's hardware fingerprint, so a copied licence can't quietly run elsewhere. Online plans have no machine limit — they're limited by user seats.
  • Each licence works only where it was sold. A licence issued for Vendor Hosted, Self Hosted or Offline PC activates on that deployment alone — checked when it's installed and again on every request, so a licence can't be moved to a cheaper or richer setup.
  • Live heartbeat. A quiet daily check-in confirms your subscription is active.
  • Works offline. A buy-once Offline PC licence needs no connection at all — it runs offline for life. Subscriptions are the ones with a grace window: travelling or server down, they keep working fully for up to 30 days, with view & export far longer.
  • Your data is never held hostage. Even if a license lapses, you can always view and export your records.
Simple, honest pricing

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Self-hosted or Vendor-hosted — what's the difference?

Self-hosted: you buy the app and run it on your own web server (online) or your own PC (offline). Your data lives in your own database and you manage the hosting, backups and its renewals — ISSULOGIX is not responsible for your server or hosting charges. The price is the app subscription only.

Vendor-hosted: ISSULOGIX hosts the app online for you — nothing to install and no machine limit. The plan price includes your NVMe storage space (5 / 10 / 15 GB by plan); need more space and it's quoted on request.

How is the price worked out?

Self-hosted shows the app subscription only (you provide your own hosting). Vendor-hosted folds the hosting into the price, so the amount you see already covers both the app and your NVMe space. Choose Annual to save 20%. Prices show in Rs (INR) by default — switch to Dhs (AED) above.

Does the machine activation apply to me?

Machine activation applies to Offline PC installs only — the licence is tied to that machine's hardware so a copy can't run elsewhere. Vendor-hosted (online) plans, and self-hosted plans run on your own online server, have no machine limit.

Does it work offline?

Offline PC (buy-once) plans run fully offline for life — the licence is yours forever and never needs to reconnect. Only your optional updates & support coverage has a date: after it ends the app keeps working exactly as it is, it simply stops pulling new updates until you renew.

Subscription plans re-verify periodically. After activation they keep working fully for up to 30 days offline; beyond that they go read-only (you can still view and export) until they reconnect or you renew.

Is it ready for UAE VAT and India GST?

Absolutely. It ships with VAT/GST tracking, tax returns, a tax audit report, configurable tax rates, and period locks so a filed quarter can't be altered. The chart of accounts is pre-seeded for the UAE and for India GST.

What's included in the app?

A complete double-entry back office: quotations (with revisions, customer acceptance and discounts before VAT), sales orders, delivery notes, invoices, payment receipts, credit notes and refunds, purchase orders with supplier confirmations and deliveries, bills approved against the supplier's invoice, vendor payment vouchers and remittance advice, debit notes, recurring invoices & bills, expenses, vendors & supplier payments, receipt OCR auto-scan, bank reconciliation, multi-currency, a products & services catalog, full stock inventory with a barcode label designer and stock valuation, service agreements, document attachments, a customer portal and customer statements — plus the full report suite: Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, Trial Balance, General Ledger, VAT/GST returns and tax audit. Add role-based permissions and approvals, two-factor authentication, an append-only audit log, automated backups with one-click restore, a data-migration wizard, email templates & notifications and guided in-app help in English and Arabic.

The mobile companion app comes with every plan. Payroll & WPS, ILX POS, loyalty & gift cards and offers & campaigns are modules you can add to your licence when you need them.

Does it work in Arabic?

Yes. The app, its Help Centre and its guided tours speak English and Arabic, and tax invoices, quotations and other documents can print in English, Arabic or both side by side — with Arabic product names, your stamp and your signature.

Can it run my payroll and WPS?

With the Payroll module, yes: employees, pay runs, overtime, stamped payslips, the WPS salary file and a covering letter for your bank. When a run is paid it keeps the bank's reference and confirmation, and you're reminded before staff documents such as visas expire.

I also have a shop counter. Does it connect to a POS?

Yes — ILX POS runs on the same products, prices, customers and tax as your books, so every counter sale lands in your accounts and stock automatically. It keeps selling through an internet outage, supports a customer-facing screen, and a reconciliation report checks each counter against the books.

Can my customers see their account online?

Yes. From a customer's page, make a private link and send it by WhatsApp or email. With no login or password, the customer sees their balance and anything overdue, their invoices, quotations, payments and credit notes as PDFs, and a statement for the last 12 months. Drafts and cancelled documents are never shown. Making a new link retires the old one, and you can turn it off at any time.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The companion mobile app brings notifications that open the record they're about, the full client file, quotations you can issue from your phone and pay runs to review on the move.

How many people can use it?

It depends on your plan — from 2 seats on Starter up to unlimited on Enterprise. Every user gets granular per-module permissions controlled by the account owner.

What happens if my subscription lapses?

The app moves to read-only mode — you keep full access to view and export your data. Nothing is ever deleted or locked away. Renew and full access returns instantly. A buy-once Offline PC licence never lapses: you own it for life, and only the optional updates coverage has a date.

Can I move my license to a new computer?

Yes, for Offline PC installs. Deactivate on the old machine and activate on the new one — your plan's activation limit is how many computers may run it at once. Online plans (Vendor Hosted or Self Hosted) have no machine limit at all.

Can I use one licence on a different setup?

No — each licence is issued for the deployment you bought: Vendor Hosted, Self Hosted or Offline PC. It activates on that kind of install only, because each is priced differently — vendor-hosted includes our hosting, storage and backups. Changing setup is simply a re-issue: tell us and we'll swap your licence over.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

The 30-day money-back guarantee applies to self-hosted plans — if it's not right for you, we'll refund you in full. Vendor-hosted plans can be cancelled anytime; hosting fees already used aren't refundable.
