What's new in er4u
Since GST launched in July 2017, er4u has shipped continuous updates — from GST-ready billing on day one to barcode POS, multi-store, your own eCommerce store, WhatsApp bills, payment-machine integrations and AI-assisted insights. This is the public record of that journey, month by month.
Nine years of shipping for Indian retail
Every release below came from what retailers asked for — new integrations, faster workflows and festival-season features that arrived before the festival. An actively maintained changelog is public proof that er4u is updated regularly, not abandoned software.
