About Naalu
The naalu book, made digital
Every cargo boat carrying goods between the islands keeps a book — a handwritten ledger of every trip, every client, and every naalu: one client's goods, on one trip, at a quantity and a rate. Naalu App takes that book off paper and puts it on a screen, written down once at the counter and readable anywhere.
What it covers
Everything the book held
Naalu keeps every record the book kept — and keeps them connected, so a trip knows its naalus, a naalu knows its client, and an invoice writes itself from all three.
- Boats
- Each boat keeps its own book — trips, clients, rates and accounts.
- Routes
- The island-to-island lanes your boat serves.
- Trips
- Every voyage numbered, dated and totalled.
- Clients
- Who you carry for, with balances that follow them.
- Items
- The goods you carry, priced per lane.
- Naalus
- Every consignment written down once — client, item, quantity × rate.
- Invoices
- One per client, per trip — GST and discounts included.
- Expenses
- What the boat spends, beside what it earns.
- Invoice sharing
- A digital invoice link each client can open on their phone.
The trip
The whole trip on one screen
Open a trip and the page reads the way the book did — every naalu against its client — plus what paper never told you: the total billed, what's been received, what's still pending, and what's been offloaded at the jetty.
The invoice
An invoice you can hand to anyone
Each client gets one invoice per trip, GST and discounts worked in — a printable A5 PDF and a share link that opens on any phone, sent straight from the app.
