Where KanunSoft is different
Where KanunSoft Pulls Ahead in Nepal
Four things KanunSoft puts in writing that a Nepali buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
NPR pricing, no forex surprise
Plans in rupees with no per-user dollar math — a solo advocate can start without finance approval.
Compliance stated plainly
BS calendars, VAT invoices, trust ledgers, and eTDS exports are native and named up front.
Reminders that reach court
Tareek alerts by SMS, email, and WhatsApp — because a reminder you don't see is not a reminder.
Migration without fear
Free guided import of clients, matters, documents, and billing history — most firms switch in a weekend.
The Problem
Switching Practice Software Is Where the Pain Actually Is
Feature lists are the easy part. What decides a switch is the migration itself — and almost none of it is about which platform has more modules.
- Moving mid-year means re-checking bills and retainers already issued
- Tareeks and myads get rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet
- Matter data leaves the old system in one shape, the new one expects another
- The old system stays open for months because nobody trusts the new numbers yet
The KanunSoft Way
Move Over a Weekend
Ashad to Shrawan — or any quiet week — is the cleanest moment to switch. Start fresh with clean opening balances.
What you get on the way in
- Free onboarding imports clients, matters, documents, and billing history
- Run one billing cycle in parallel and reconcile before switching off
- BS calendar and VAT defaults install in one click
- 14-day trial, so a small team can move at no cost
