What is a B2B ecosystem?
Business apps that belong to one platform and share the account and the data, instead of being wired together through paid integrations.

Business software for India in one account
Most Indian MSMEs run on a patchwork: one app for billing, another for leads, WhatsApp groups for customer updates, Excel for attendance and a separate host for the website. 4b2b replaces that patchwork with one login for around 45 connected business apps, priced in EUR. GST returns and IRP e-invoicing stay with your accountant or GST software.

What sets India apart
GSTIN on every invoice, MCA filings every year, and a patchwork of tools in between.
India layers central and state rules: company law through the MCA, indirect tax through GST, and sector-specific registrations on top. 4b2b does not file any of these. It covers the operational layer around them: invoices, customers, staff, projects and messages.
MCACompanies Act, 2013Private limited companies are incorporated through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and file annual returns and financial statements. LLPs are registered under the LLP Act, 2008. 4b2b does not file with the MCA.
GSTGSTIN and the 18 % slabBusinesses above the turnover threshold register for GST and receive a GSTIN. The standard slab is 18 %, with other slabs for specific goods and services. Rates and returns are handled by your accountant or GST software.
IRPE-invoicing as contextLarger taxpayers must report invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal to obtain an IRN. 4b2b is not integrated with the IRP or GSTN; use compliant GST software for that step.
DPDPDPDP Act, 2023Businesses that process personal data of individuals in India act as data fiduciaries under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Obligations remain with the business.

How the 4b2b apps fit an Indian MSME
Each app is subscribed and billed on its own domain, priced in EUR; your bank or card converts to INR at payment. Together they cover invoices, customers, staff, projects and your website.
For Indian chartered accountants, company secretaries and agencies
Practices in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad serve many small clients, each with its own GSTIN and filing calendar. The ecosystem is multi-company by design.
Chartered accountants
Keep each client's invoices and records in a separate company space, as source material for the GST returns and accounts you prepare in your own software.
Company secretaries
Store board resolutions and agreements with approval flows and electronic signature in 4mycontracts.
IT and BPO firms
Run client projects, track deliverables and invoice overseas clients from one account.
Exporters and traders
Keep buyers, enquiries and invoices together, and message customers on WhatsApp and SMS.
The 4b2b ecosystem
Why an ecosystem instead of separate apps
The 4b2b ecosystem is a group of business apps that share one account, one company record and one customer record. You switch on only the modules you need, and anything entered once shows up everywhere else — from invoicing through contracts to timesheets.
- One login for every module, with permissions set per role.
- Company and customer details are entered once, not six times.
- One subscription, with modules you turn on as you go.
- Local tax compliance included on every market we open.
Questions about the ecosystem
Short answers to what small companies ask most often before choosing. Each one has its own page, with worked examples and the mistakes to avoid.
What is the 4b2b ecosystem?
Invoicing, accounting, CRM, ERP, HR, projects, contracts and notifications under one account, with local compliance on each market.
How does an ecosystem cut software costs?
It removes parallel subscriptions and paid connectors: replacing six separate apps typically takes 40–60 % off the monthly bill.
What does Single Sign-On mean for a company?
One person signs in once and reaches every module; when they leave, access is revoked from a single place.
How is tax compliance handled across 70 countries?
Every market has its own e-invoicing format and channel, and the ecosystem applies them from the market you selected.
