PagarBook is a leading workforce management platform used by thousands of businesses across India to manage employee attendance, payroll, and compliance. With a vision to empower SMBs through digitization, PagarBook has become an essential tool for managing day-to-day business operations, especially for industries with large, distributed workforces.
As their customer base grew, so did the need to simplify and automate GST compliance, from reconciling monthly purchase data to filing GSTRs and managing e-Invoices at scale.
CHALLENGE
Manual GST workflows were holding businesses back
PagarBook’s enterprise customers often operate in sectors like retail, construction, and logistics, where high transaction volumes are the norm. These businesses were struggling with manual GST reconciliation, supplier GSTIN mismatches, and the burden of switching between systems for filing returns and generating e-Invoices.
Despite having access to raw data, reconciling GSTR-2B, validating supplier GSTINs, and complying with NIC’s e-Invoicing requirements demanded significant manual effort. This led to errors, missed deadlines, and compliance risks. Traditional workflows were not scalable, especially during peak filing periods.
SOLUTION
Embedded Compliance with GST Reconciliation, Filing & e-Invoicing APIs
To solve these challenges, PagarBook integrated directly with Sandbox’s GST APIs, embedding powerful compliance capabilities into their existing platform. The Search GSTIN API enabled real-time validation of supplier GSTINs during onboarding and invoice creation, reducing the chances of input errors.
With Reconciliation APIs, users could automatically match purchase invoices with GSTR-2B data, detect mismatches, and take corrective action, all within PagarBook’s interface. The Filing APIs allowed businesses to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns directly from the platform, eliminating the need to switch between systems. Additionally, the e-Invoicing APIs enabled real-time generation and management of IRNs in line with NIC requirements, ensuring compliance at every step.
The integration was smooth and supported by Sandbox’s detailed documentation and reliable pass-through architecture, which stayed up to date with GSTN’s evolving API schema.
RESULTS
Faster Filings, Fewer Errors, Happier Users
By embedding GST APIs into their core product, PagarBook gave enterprise customers a single platform to handle end-to-end compliance from reconciling returns to validating supplier details and managing e-Invoices. This streamlined approach led to a 30% reduction in month-end closing time for enterprise users.
Moreover, users experienced significantly fewer mismatches and notices from the GST department, as real-time validations and automated reconciliation reduced the scope for manual errors. By eliminating fragmented processes, PagarBook improved compliance accuracy, enhanced user satisfaction, and transformed GST compliance from a pain point into a valuable and differentiating feature.
