Our story

Technology that respects how Bhutan shops

Pelbu was built to give Bhutanese businesses an elite, million-dollar-feeling tool that still works on a shop counter with a spotty connection.

Our mission

Retail in Bhutan spans a whole chain — from distributors bringing goods across the border, to wholesalers supplying towns, to the retailer at the counter, to the customer at home. Most software only serves one slice of that, assumes always-on internet, and treats compliance as an afterthought.

Pelbu takes the opposite approach. A single platform connects every tier. The point of sale runs locally and keeps working through outages. GST 2026 is calculated, signed and reportable on every sale. And the same catalog a shop sells in-store is instantly available on the online marketplace.

The result is software that feels premium but stays accessible — designed for low-literacy, high-touch use, with AI doing the heavy lifting so shopkeepers can focus on their customers.

Built for Bhutan

Designed around Bhutanese shops, GST 2026 rules and the way business really works here — not a Western POS bolted on.

Local-first

The register works fully offline and syncs when it can. Power cuts and patchy internet don’t stop a sale.

Compliant by default

Flat 5% GST, digital signatures and audit trails are built in, so every sale is filed correctly.

For every tier

Distributors, wholesalers, retailers and shoppers all share one platform and one product catalog.
