The Operating System for Local Businesses
Pados starts with free billing, inventory and barcode software for Andaman's shops, restaurants and pharmacies — then grows into online ordering, store pickup and merchant-run delivery. No commissions, ever.
Free forever billing software. No credit card. No commitment.
Merchants first. Customers second.
Every hyperlocal marketplace fails the same way — spending heavily to force merchants, customers and delivery to grow at once. Pados solves problems in order.

One platform, three phases
Pados grows with the merchant — from billing, to pickup, to delivery — only when they're ready for it.
Phase 1
Merchant Operating System
Free forever
Cloud billing, barcode scanning, inventory, reports, customer and expense management. No customer app. No online ordering. Just solving the merchant's daily grind.
- GST & non-GST invoicing
- USB, Bluetooth and camera barcode scanning
- Low stock WhatsApp alerts
- Daily, weekly, monthly & yearly reports
Phase 2
Store Pickup
₹349/month · ₹3,490/year
Merchants who are actively billing on Pados can switch on an online store. Customers browse, order and pick up in-store — zero delivery complexity.
- Online catalogue from existing inventory
- Accept or reject orders
- Store search for customers
- 100 online orders a month
- No riders, no failed deliveries
Phase 3
Merchant Delivery
₹549/month · ₹5,490/year
Merchants who want to deliver can switch it on themselves. Pados never hires riders — merchants set their own radius, charges and hours.
- Merchant-defined delivery radius & charges
- Live order status for customers
- Choose pickup-only or pickup + delivery
- 100 online orders a month
- Still zero commission on orders

Is the billing software really free?
Yes — billing, inventory, barcode scanning, reports and cloud backup are free forever. There's no trial period and no catch.
Does Pados take a commission on orders?
No. Pados earns through simple monthly subscriptions once a merchant opts into online ordering — never a cut of your sales.
Where is Pados launching first?
We're starting exclusively in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, beginning with Port Blair, before expanding to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Do I need to change how I run my business?
No. Pados is built to fit into your existing routine — you keep running your shop your way, just with better tools underneath.
When can customers start ordering?
Customer ordering opens in Phase 2, once enough local merchants are actively billing on Pados. Joining the waitlist now means you'll be first to know.
