You might have high sales turnover, but low cash in hand. Where is the money going? Usually, it's leaking through small cracks in your operations.

Leak #1: Employee Pilferage

Without digital stock tracking, it's easy for an item to 'disappear'. Kosh's Audit Log records every bill deleted or modified by staff, helping you spot suspicious activity.

Leak #2: Dead Stock

Items sitting on your shelf for 6+ months are burning money. Use the 'Stock Ageing' report to identify these items and run a clearance sale to free up cash.

Leak #3: Unclaimed Input Credit

If you don't file your GSTR-3B on time or miss adding a purchase invoice, you lose the tax credit. This is a direct loss of 12-18% margin. Kosh helps you track all purchases digitally.
