Chennai's Business Landscape

Chennai is South India's industrial and automotive hub, home to manufacturers like Hyundai, Ford, and hundreds of tier-1 and tier-2 auto component suppliers. The city's manufacturing and export ecosystem is complemented by IT services in the OMR corridor and a large wholesale trading community in Parrys and Sowcarpet. Tamil Nadu GSTIN prefix is 33.

IT & Software Services Challenges in Chennai

Delayed invoicing after project milestones

IT companies often delay invoicing because the billing team is waiting for project managers to confirm milestone completion. ASTech ERP links milestones to invoices so billing is triggered automatically when a milestone is marked complete.

18% GST on services and TDS deductions

IT services attract 18% GST. Clients often deduct TDS at 10% before paying. Reconciling GST output and TDS receivables manually is complex. The system handles both automatically and generates the correct tax entries.
