Customer quotes
Customer stories from Sanka teams
We want inventory, sales management, tax, and accounting to connect smoothly while keeping operating cost and time low.
Sanka does more than inventory control. It can manage purchasing, billing, orders, and shipping in one place.
We used to place orders with artisans via email or phone, which often led to losing track of order details or forgetting orders altogether.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can periods other than three months be supported?

Yes. Sanka can create invoice drafts and deferred revenue amounts from order terms before downstream recognition.
Are journal entries posted automatically?
Sanka can prepare journal candidates and supporting data. Approval or review can be required before final posting.
What happens with amendments or cancellations?
Amendment events can be stored as history and used to recalculate balance, recognition amount, and journal candidates.
