Project costs, purchases, and investor commitments are tracked across disconnected spreadsheets.
With Sadan
Sales, purchases, investor money, and landowner deals for every project, in one ledger.
- 02
There’s no single view of what’s been sold, what’s been bought, and what’s owed to whom.
With Sadan
Every flat shows as available, allocated, or sold, and every party’s page shows what they’ve paid and been paid, across projects.
- 03
Cheques sit uncleared, and nobody notices until one bounces.
With Sadan
Each cheque stays pending until it’s marked cleared or bounced, and a bounce is flagged on the home screen.
- 04
Investor reporting is assembled by hand before every update.
With Sadan
Each investor’s page already shows what they put in, what’s been paid back, what’s still owed, and the agreed terms.

The details
The small rules that make the numbers trustworthy.
01
Split payments that must add up
One sale can be paid in up to six parts across cash, UPI, bank transfer, cheque, and DD. The parts must match the total to the paisa, and cash can only land in a cash box.
02
Balances count only real money
Voided entries never count, and a cheque counts only once it has cleared. Until then it shows separately, as money in transit.
03
Flats handed over, valued from real sales
When a landowner or investor is paid in flats, Sadan suggests a value from the actual per sq ft rate of units already sold, falling back to average price and then your baseline. You can always adjust it.
04
Capital isn’t profit
Investor contributions stay out of P&L, and every payout, in cash or in kind, is counted as a financing cost. Project profit stays honest.
05
A bounced cheque has a way back
After a bounce, a replacement payment can be added to the same sale, capped at exactly what’s still unpaid.
06
A flat can’t be sold twice
A unit that is sold, or allocated to an investor or landowner, is locked. A second sale is refused.
See these rules at work in a demo.

Questions
Before you ask for a demo.
Can our CA see the books without changing anything?
Yes. The accountant role reads everything, including the activity log and the exports, and every change is refused on the server, not just hidden.
Does it handle joint-venture land deals?
Yes. Record the land as an in-kind contribution, allocate the landowner’s share of flats, and log each handover as a payout at its recorded value.
How does it treat the RERA account?
Tag a project’s bank account as its RERA account, and its collections, payments, and balance stay visible on their own, separate from your other accounts.
Does it work on a phone?
It was designed for the phone first. Install it to the home screen and it opens like an app, with Today, Projects, and the day book one tap away.
Where does our data live?
In your own instance and your own database. Nothing is shared with another customer, and your data stays yours.
Can it be changed to fit how we work?
Yes. We build and run these products ourselves, so changes for your workflow can be scoped and priced like any other build.
