Deskera becomes 1st GST compliant cloud-based enterprise in India

Pune-based Deskera, a business software provider in Asia Pacific has claimed to be the first cloud-based software provider to offer Goods and Services Tax (GST) ready software suite in India. In the past, has been a partner in transitioning Singapore and Malaysia to GST model.

"Deskera is the fastest growing ERP vendor in the region, and is the first cloud-based enterprise software suite that is GST compliant in India, we have been always ready for GST in India since our products are already being used in GST compliant countries like Singapore and Malaysia,” said Shashank Dixit, chief executive, Deskera.

Headquartered in Singapore, the company mostly caters to global SME markets and has been working with various government departments and businesses in Singapore and Malaysia in helping them move to the GST based system.

Indonesia was the first country in the region to implement the GST system way back in 1984, followed by Thailand in 1992 and Singapore in 1994.The Philippines adopted the GST in 1998.

"Deskera’s ERP software has always been GST compliant and we have gone through exactly the same scenario, when GST was rolled out in Malaysia. We have hands-on experience tweaking our software to different needs of different countries. Deskera has its operations in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad, and we understand the Indian laws better. We have been the no. one choice of SMEs in India too. All we need is to fill in the rates, and we are ready to go," Dixit further said.

Today, Deskera Cloud ERP powers more than 3,000 SMEs and businesses globally. It helps SMEs migrate to an integrated Cloud-based platform, thus enhancing productivity and moving one more step in the direction of the Central government’s Make in India mission.

"The unique feature of Deskera is that it helps in seamless transition and integration of the financial structure from old version to the new one. For instance, if a manufacturing company has its financial data stored in any old financial system of any business software, he need not worry about integration of his accounts, as Deskera will integrate it with the new structure, which is GST compliant and hence help in the smooth shift," Shashank added.
