Digital ToolsISLAMABAD: SMEDA announced the nationwide deployment of SMAP 2.0 (Small Business Accounting Package), an easy-to-use localized ERP designed specifically for single-entry shops, workshops, and light manufacturers.
Available both as a web application on smap.smeda.org and an offline desktop application, SMAP enables business owners to manage inventory, generate compliant sales tax invoices, and reconcile bank statements without hiring specialized accountants.
Integrated tutorials in Urdu and regional languages ensure non-technical entrepreneurs can master the software in hours.
Over 20,000 SMEs have registered during the initial launch month.

The priority stall allocation and 50% rental subsidy announced here has given our SME cluster direct exposure to GCC buyers. Extremely timely initiative by SMEDA.
Will the on-site facilitation desk at the expo also assist existing manufacturers with technical energy audit grants and SMERP QR-code verifications?
