Product & Service Catalog with Smart Categories
Build a living library of all your products and services. Categorise them, track stock, set GST rates, and auto-fill invoice line items in seconds — eliminating repetitive data entry forever.
Built for Authority.
Every hour spent retyping the same product name, price, and HSN code onto invoice after invoice is an hour stolen from your actual work. For freelancers and small businesses who invoice the same services repeatedly, this repetition is the single biggest source of billing inefficiency. Avobill's Product & Service Catalog is built to eliminate that friction entirely. Create each service once — with its full details, tax configuration, and category — and from that point forward, it auto-fills your invoices in a single click.
Deep Dive Analysis
Building Your Product Library
The Avobill product catalog is designed for the reality of Indian service businesses. Each product or service entry stores:
- Name and Description — Appears on every invoice and your public catalog
- Type — Product (physical goods) or Service (billable work)
- HSN / SAC Code — Auto-populates on invoices for GST compliance
- Price — Your selling rate, displayed with currency formatting
- GST Rate — 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28% — auto-splits into CGST/SGST or IGST based on client location
- GST Inclusive/Exclusive flag — Shows clients whether tax is included in the displayed price
- Unit — Per hour, per piece, per project, etc.
- Category — For filtering and public catalog organisation
Once set up, none of this needs to be re-entered. Your catalog becomes a single source of truth for all your pricing data.
Category System: Organisation That Scales
As your product list grows beyond 10–15 items, finding the right service on a live invoice becomes frustrating. Avobill's category system solves this at scale.
Categories are free-text with smart suggestions — you type "Design" and Avobill suggests existing categories from your catalog, or you create a new one. Once set:
- Filter tabs appear on your product list page — click "Development" to see only development services instantly
- Your public catalog groups products by category automatically — clients see a clean, organised service menu
- Bundles can also be tagged by category for consistent organisation across your entire pricing structure
The system adapts to your business — whether you have 2 categories or 20, the filtering is always instant and the display always clean.
CSV Export: Your Data, Your Format
At the end of the financial year, or when working with an accountant, you often need your product data in a spreadsheet format. Avobill's one-click CSV export gives you a complete download of your catalog in seconds.
The export includes all 13 fields: Name, Type, Category, HSN/SAC Code, Price, GST Rate, Unit, Stock, Purchase Price, Markup %, Description, Currency, and GST Inclusive flag. This is exactly the data format that accounting software and CA firms work with, eliminating the need for manual data compilation.
Purchase Price Tracking & Profit Visibility
For product-based businesses, knowing your margin is as important as knowing your selling price. Avobill lets you store a purchase price and markup percentage alongside your selling price.
- Enter the cost you pay per unit
- Set your desired markup (e.g., 40%)
- Avobill calculates the suggested selling price automatically
This isn't just data storage — it's a live profit calculator that ensures you never accidentally underprice a product because you forgot your input cost. Over time, this data becomes the foundation for accurate profitability analysis.
The Bottom Line
"A well-maintained product catalog is the operational backbone of a professional service business. It eliminates repetitive data entry, ensures consistent pricing across all your invoices and proposals, and gives you the data visibility to make smarter pricing decisions. Avobill's catalog — with categories, CSV export, GST configuration, and public showcase — is the most complete product management system available in an invoicing tool designed for Indian freelancers and agencies."
