Introduction
In today’s fast-moving Malaysian SME environment, businesses need more than just an accounting ledger. They need a system that handles accounting, POS (both retail and F&B), mobile access, e-commerce, e-invoicing and integrations — all seamlessly. That’s where AutoCount Accounting Software comes in. It’s designed to be the complete business solution for Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs), helping you manage your finances, operations and growth — all in one place.

Why Malaysian SMEs Need an All-in-One Business Solution
- Many SMEs juggle separate systems: one for accounting, one for inventory, one for POS, maybe another for payroll — which creates data silos, manual work and inefficiencies.
- With Malaysia’s local tax requirements (such as SST, and soon e-Invoice mandates) and growing multi-channel sales (retail, F&B, online), a unified system helps you stay compliant, agile and efficient.
- By using one integrated platform, you reduce duplication, speed up processes, gain better visibility, and free your team to focus on growth, not grunt work.
To support digital transformation, the SME Digitalisation Grant offers funding for Malaysian SMEs implementing AutoCount solutions.

e-Invoice Module
As Malaysian businesses prepare for statutory mandates from Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN), AutoCount’s e-Invoice module is ready:
- The proprietary AutoCount e-Invoice Platform (AIP) enables you to generate, submit and manage e-invoices (XML/JSON) directly within the system.
- Supports standard e-invoice, consolidated invoices (especially useful for retail/F&B multiple outlets) and self-billed invoices (useful for procurement/agents).
- Built-in retry mechanisms if the MyInvois portal is down; real-time status updates within your system.
API & Integration Module
AutoCount recognises that modern businesses often use multiple systems and need integrations:
- The API Module allows connection with other ERP systems, payment gateways, third party apps etc.
- For e-invoice, you can register AutoCount as an intermediary in MyInvois, generate secret keys and link API for automated submission, enabling seamless data flow without manual uploads.
- This means your business is integration-ready: you can scale, add custom apps or link to other systems without being locked-in.

Implementation & Best Practice Tips for SMEs
- Data Preparation: Clean up your existing books, inventory lists, menu/items (for F&B), branch/outlet info. Accurate data makes migration smoother.
- Phased Roll-out: Start with core modules (Accounting + Inventory + Retail/F&B POS). Then activate Mobile/eCommerce, e-Invoice, API when ready.
- Employee Training: POS staff (cashiers, waiters) must get comfortable early; finance staff must adopt the new workflow.
- Backup & Security: Even if cloud/online, ensure backups, access control, data security and user roles are set.
- Supplier/Partner Setup: If you integrate e-Invoice/API, include your suppliers/outlets in plan so they’re aligned.
- Choose the Right Dealer/Partner: Having strong local support (like SL Software) ensures faster customisation, compliance help and peace of mind.
