What are the core objectives of 3ioNetra?
3ioNetra aims to facilitate the digitalization journey of religious entities. We empower temples and trusts with technological solutions such as websites for online donations and booking of sevas, ERP software for managing income and expenses, mobile apps to replace manual record-keeping, and communication platforms to stay connected with devotees through channels like WhatsApp, SMS, and email.
In this digital age, why are many temples still managing their day-to-day operations using legacy software or manual books?
Many temples and trusts are now realizing that there are dedicated and curated digital solutions available for them. Despite the availability of numerous companies and startups in India, none have focused on temples and trusts until now. Recognizing the untapped potential of this market and its unique challenges is essential. As more companies develop products and engage in marketing efforts, the adoption of digital solutions within temples and trusts is expected to increase.
How does 3ioNetra assist in compliance management for trusts/temples with 80G status?
3ioNetra has developed a system to ensure compliance. When receiving any donation, our system captures the PAN number and mandatory details of the donors. We assist temples in generating the 10BD form/excel file, which they can upload to the government website. Once uploaded, the government site provides 10BE certificates for every donation made to the temple. 3ioNetra facilitates the distribution of these certificates to all donors via WhatsApp and email.
What is the core USP of 3ioNetra, and how does it differentiate itself from competitors?
The core USP of 3ioNetra is providing an integrated platform for temples and trusts. Our solution combines a website, ERP software, and a mobile app, all working seamlessly together. By utilizing the ERP software, temples can manage their entire technological infrastructure and generate consolidated reports necessary for day-to-day operations.
How does 3ioNetra assist temples and trusts in reconciliation?
3ioNetra offers an integrated platform where payment gateways and bank reports are seamlessly integrated into the ERP software. All digital transactions, whether conducted through the website or in person via POS, are automatically ingested into the ERP software. This automation allows for the generation of consolidated transaction reports, settlement reports, and auto-reconciliation reports for the temples.
How does 3ioNetra help temples accept digital payments at their counters?
3ioNetra has partnered with payment gateways such as Razorpay and Worldline to provide POS solutions to temples. Dynamic QR code solutions or POS terminals are provided to accept payments via UPI and cards from devotees. These devices are integrated with the ERP, ensuring that transaction details are automatically captured, thus avoiding manual errors during data entry.
Since many temples in South India base their seva bookings on the Panchangam, does 3ioNetra provide this feature?
Yes, 3ioNetra’s ERP system includes a feature for temples to upload their Panchangam. Temples can upload an Excel file containing Tithi, Paksha, Masa, Nikshatra, and their corresponding English calendar dates. Based on this information, devotees can book sevas.
Do temples with smaller counters for ladoo distribution, luggage, or chappal counters have a solution provided by 3ioNetra?
Yes, 3ioNetra offers a POS-based solution for temples with smaller counters. Recognizing the difficulty of deploying dedicated PCs or laptops due to increased management and setup costs, we have developed a handheld POS device solution. These POS devices are equipped with the 3ioNetra app, allowing counter personnel to enter the quantity and amount received from devotees. Receipts can be provided instantly, and these POS devices are integrated with the ERP, providing real-time reports to administrators and accounting teams.
How does 3ioNetra help temples connect with devotees and donors?
At a fundamental level, 3ioNetra addresses two primary issues for temples, leading to improved donations and seva bookings:
Many devotees migrate from villages to cities for employment, making it difficult for them to visit temples or book sevas regularly. 3ioNetra empowers temples with websites to accept online donations and seva bookings, catering to devotees across India who are unable to physically visit the temple.
With the increasing trend of cashless transactions, many devotees prefer digital payment options. 3ioNetra enables temples with digital payment solutions, allowing them to accept more digital payments from devotees who do not carry cash.
