When all of that is spread across notebooks, chats and spreadsheets, things get missed and deals stall.

We’re excited to announce that Landess Connect 1.0 is generally available as of July 29, 2026. For most businesses, WhatsApp is where customers actually are — but keeping up means manually wishing customers on birthdays, answering the same questions at all hours, and chasing enquiries scattered across phones and notebooks. Landess Connect turns everyday WhatsApp into automatic engagement: send wishes, capture leads, and reply automatically — day and night, without ever opening WhatsApp yourself. Messaging flows both ways: send greetings and campaigns out, capture every incoming reply, and organize leads as they arrive. Here’s what’s in this release. One System, End to End Landess Connect runs your whole WhatsApp engagement from one login. Greet customers with automated occasion wishes, capture every lead and reply, and send brochures, files, and answers automatically. Your contacts, conversations, and campaigns live in one place — nothing scattered across notebooks and phones. Automated Wishes Birthday, anniversary, and festival greetings, scheduled and sent automatically Personalized to each customer and sent on time — without you ever opening WhatsApp Set it once; greetings go out even while you sleep Lead Capture & Reply Inbox Every enquiry captured, tagged, and tracked automatically Customer replies threaded to the right contact in one shared inbox A clear view of where every conversation stands — new lead, auto-replied, or awaiting you Smart Auto-Replies Send brochures, files, price lists, and answers automatically, day and night — no manual typing. Routine questions get instant answers, so your team can focus on the conversations that matter. Segments & Targeted Campaigns Group customers into segments (Class A, B, C, VIP) and target the right audience Inbuilt campaigns and broadcasts from your own WhatsApp number Scheduling, delivery tracking, and captured replies for every campaign Your Own Meta Account — No Markup Landess Connect connects to your own WhatsApp Business account on Meta. You pay Meta directly for what you use — your cost and usage stay between you and Meta, with no commission or markup taken by us. Your customer data stays private, and your billing stays transparent and direct. Security & Privacy Messages send through your own WhatsApp Business account on Meta Role-based access for your whole team Each account isolated — your data stays yours Seamless Onboarding Bring the account and contacts you already use — WhatsApp Business, Meta Suite, your contacts, or an Excel/CSV import. Landess Connect runs on web and mobile as one secure workspace, so you can manage one number or many from the same place. Built for Landessware Products Landess Connect also powers the bundled WhatsApp engagement module inside Landess Builder — so construction teams can reach customers and crews on WhatsApp without leaving their site-management platform. What’s next We’re already working on the 1.1 release: richer campaign analytics, template libraries, and deeper CRM integration. Tell us what matters to your business via contact.

Plus a bundled WhatsApp engagement module. After building alongside contractors and site teams, we’re thrilled to announce that Landess Builder 1.0 is generally available as of July 22, 2026. Running a construction business means juggling crews, sites, materials, and money — usually across spreadsheets, chat apps, and a separate accountant’s ledger. By the time the numbers are reconciled, the job is long over. Landess Builder brings the whole field operation into one login: from the biometric punch to the project P&L, with money flowing both ways — pay crews and vendors, collect from customers, and watch payables and receivables update live. Here’s a tour of what’s in this release. One System, End to End Landess Builder runs your whole field operation from a single platform. Record attendance with biometric or manual punches, attribute every hour to a project, and manage material deliveries and on-site consumption — with costs always derived from the activity, never hand-kept. Your workforce, your sites, and your books live in one place, not scattered across notebooks and phones. People & Attendance Employees of every type and pay rate Biometric or manual attendance, with operator-run check-in by phone lookup and automatic IN/OUT per project Time attributed to each project, with pay derived per project, per day Biometric templates are encrypted, matched one-to-one, and never exported — your people’s data stays private Projects & Sites Projects and sites with budgets and live per-site cost Over-budget alerts — when project cost crosses budget, managers are notified Live project cost, payables, and profit at a glance Materials & Inventory Catalog, on-site stock, deliveries, and transfers Costed consumption — material use valued at weighted-average cost and locked with a snapshot Every inventory move logged and append-only Settlements & Customer Money One payment for labor, goods, and ad-hoc spend, with live outstanding balances Customer charges, receipts, and refunds Receivables and credit held, updated the moment work is billed Reports & Built-in Accounting Out of the box: labor financials (owed, paid, and outstanding by period), project cost, and material payable reports — on accrual or cash basis, exportable to CSV, Excel, and charts. Landess Builder Books adds double-entry accounting and India GST, with Trial Balance, Profit & Loss, and Balance Sheet — posted automatically from the work you track.

Work items, automatic invoicing, configurable workflows, client portal, and multi-country tax compliance in one platform. After months of development with design-partner firms across India, we’re thrilled to announce that Lander Books 1.0 is generally available as of April 14, 2026. Traditional accounting software was built for bookkeeping in isolation. Modern accounting firms need more than that: they manage dozens of clients, run complex workflows, track billable time, handle multi-country tax compliance, and collaborate with clients across WhatsApp, email, and phone — all at once. Stitching five different tools together is exhausting and error-prone. Lander Books 1.0 combines accounting, practice management, CRM, and client collaboration into a single cloud-based platform. Below is a tour of what’s in this release. Work Item & Task Management Every billable activity — filing returns, auditing accounts, preparing financial statements, reviewing client books — becomes a work item in Lander Books with real-time status. Assign multiple employees to a single work item for collaborative jobs Track progress through a Kanban board or Calendar view See exactly who is working on what without asking A Large Screen Display mode rotates through Task Summary, tasks nearing due dates, and Employee Summary — ideal for mounting on an office TV so the whole team sees workloads at a glance Automatic Invoice Generation Lander Books tracks every billable task and automatically generates invoices from completed work items. No more manual invoice creation. No more revenue leakage from unbilled work. Invoices are customised via simple Word document templates, so your firm’s branding is preserved without anyone touching code. Configurable Workflows & Rule Engine No rigid templates. The software moulds to your firm’s process: Define stages per work-item type (e.g., GST return → Intake → Draft → Internal review → Client review → Filed) Set up rules based on customer type, work item type, or customer group Embed custom checklists inside each stage; associates must complete every item before the work can advance The result: consistent quality across every job, regardless of who’s handling it. Client Portal with Multi-Channel Uploads Clients log into a dedicated portal to submit files and manage their accounting books. Because clients don’t always want to log in, Lander Books also accepts document uploads via WhatsApp, Telegram, and Line — eliminating the email back-and-forth that usually slows down month-end close. Complete Voucher & Ledger System Invoice, Receipt, Expense, Payment, Journal, and Contra voucher types Multi-hierarchy ledger management with auto-created ledgers per product Customisable voucher templates (Word documents) Attach scanned documents to any voucher Custom financial-period management with audit-status tracking and locked closed periods Financial Reports Out of the box: General Ledger, Profit & Loss, Daybook, Balance Sheet, and Trial Balance — for any financial period, across all clients, exportable for stakeholder sharing. Multi-Country Tax Compliance Launch-day tax support includes: India: GST (CGST, SGST, UGST, IGST), Reverse GST Charge, TDS Received Amount Tracking, PF & Employee Tax Management, Tax Calendar Reminders United Arab Emirates: VAT configuration, FTA-compliant invoicing, AED multi-currency Thailand: Thai VAT, Withholding Tax (WHT), THB multi-currency Malaysia: SST (Sales & Service Tax), LHDN compliance, MYR multi-currency United States: State-level sales tax configuration, federal tax structure, GAAP reporting, USD Editions Lander Books 1.0 ships with four purpose-built editions so you start from a relevant baseline rather than a generic blank slate: For Auditors — CA firms, audit firms, and tax consultants. Work-item-first, with automatic invoice generation, client portal, and multi-client consolidation. For Cooperative Societies — Housing societies, credit cooperatives, and member-based organisations. Member account management, dues tracking, society-specific compliance. Learning Management — Educational institutions, coaching centres, and training academies. Student enrolment, fee collection, course/batch management, multi-branch support. Standard Accounting with Multiple Entity Support — SMEs that have outgrown Tally or Zoho Books. Multiple entities from a single account, full voucher and ledger system, data import from Tally, Zoho, Xero, and QuickBooks. Editions can be switched at any time as your business evolves — no re-implementation, no data loss. Security, Data Ownership, and Architecture End-to-end encryption in transit and at rest Role-based access control with user groups, granular per-feature permissions Full audit trail with timestamps for every change Automated daily backups on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure Single-instance and shared-instance deployment options for firms that need data isolation guarantees Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure team access You retain full ownership of all your data. Export any time in standard formats; 30-day retrieval window on termination. Data Migration Switching from Tally, Zoho Books, Xero, QuickBooks, or Vyapar? Lander Books has import tools for each, plus bulk import for products, employees, and customers. Our onboarding team walks you through the process — most firms are fully migrated and operational within a few days.

A glass container plant is two factories glued together. The HotEnd pulls molten glass from the furnace and forms containers; the ColdEnd inspects those containers for defects and either passes them to packaging or rejects them to cullet. When the ColdEnd finds a defect, the HotEnd needs to know quickly — an hour of bad forming is thousands of defective containers. In most plants, that communication happens via handheld radio, shift logbooks, and running between buildings. We built HECE to do it properly. Today we’re announcing HECE 1.0 — HotEnd ColdEnd Communicator — available as of August 8, 2025. What HECE does Real-time Defect Tracking Instantly capture, categorise, and analyse defects at every stage of the manufacturing process. Defects captured at the ColdEnd become a shared record the whole plant can act on. Real-time HotEnd ↔ ColdEnd Communication Connects floor teams, supervisors, and quality control in real time to ensure swift issue resolution and operational clarity. When a defect is flagged at the ColdEnd, the HotEnd sees it — and can respond — immediately. Shift and Line Management Insights into production trends, defect patterns, and team performance per shift and per line. Compare shifts fairly and see where attention is needed. Realtime Automatic Night-Shift Tracking Automated night-shift tracking so the graveyard shift has the same data visibility and accountability as the day shift, without extra manual logging. Advanced Analytics Detailed reporting on production trends, defect patterns, and team performance — the data you need to move from reactive to proactive quality management. Secure & Scalable Cloud-based architecture with enterprise-grade security and scalability — works for a single plant or a multi-plant group. Who HECE is for Glass manufacturers running container lines Quality control teams responsible for defect analysis and customer-complaint resolution Plant supervisors and floor teams who need real-time visibility into what’s happening across the plant Benefits Minimize downtime — identify and resolve manufacturing bottlenecks quickly rather than at end-of-shift review Reduce defects — real-time tracking and analytics improve product quality at every stage Improve accountability — stronger communication between teams, supervisors, and QC; transparent and traceable Drive operational excellence — actionable insights feed better decisions and smoother workflows Availability HECE 1.0 is available today. We work with you on plant-specific configuration and operator onboarding. See more on the HECE product page or contact us to schedule an assessment. --- # Announcing FilmiCall 1.0 — Film Production Management Software URL: https://landessware.com/blog/filmicall-1-0-launch/ Published: 2025-06-18 Categories: Product Updates Tags: filmicall, release, film-production, budgeting, launch FilmiCall 1.0 is live — a cloud-based film production management platform covering budget tracking, expense management, call sheets, wake-up calls, contract management, and GST-compliant tax reporting. Film production runs on spreadsheets, printed call sheets, and a lot of phone calls. Producers juggle budgets across dozens of cost heads; ADs scramble to distribute schedules; expense receipts pile up on someone’s desk until the end of the week. It mostly works. It’s also where expensive mistakes happen. We built FilmiCall 1.0 to replace those fragments with one cloud-based platform for producers, directors, and production managers to stay on top of budget and schedule from pre-production through wrap. FilmiCall 1.0 is available as of June 18, 2025. What’s in 1.0 Real-time Budget Tracking A clear overview of your production budget, with drill-downs into accounts and sub-accounts Navigate line items, make adjustments, and see the impact on the total budget in real time Actual costs compared with estimates so you can track budget performance as shooting progresses Expense Management Detailed expense tracking by line item — crew wages, equipment rentals, locations, catering, transport Organise and monitor expense receipts and vouchers in one place Visibility into spending so nothing slips through the cracks Call Sheets The daily call sheet is the heartbeat of a shoot. FilmiCall generates and manages them in one place so cast and crew are punctual and ready for each day. Wake-Up Calls Automated wake-up call reminders help ensure cast and crew are punctual and well-prepared for every shoot day. Contract Management Efficient contract management streamlines budgeting decisions and keeps agreements accessible to the right people. Tax Compliance Simplifies compliance with India’s GST and regional tax regulations — accurate financial reporting and streamlined accounting for Indian productions. Exporting Reports Budget and expense data exports to CSV, Excel, or PDF so you can share with stakeholders, hand to your auditor, or use for financial forecasting without rekeying anything. Who FilmiCall is for Film production of all budget sizes — from independent shoots to large-scale productions Producers looking for cost optimisation and project-level visibility Production managers and ADs who want to ditch the spreadsheet-and-printout workflow Production accountants who need clean expense data for tax and audit Get started Learn more on the FilmiCall product page, or contact us for a walkthrough with a sample production. ---
