Flaxvin develops and operates a commercial product of its own, with published pricing, a public source repository and a support obligation we carry directly. This page covers that product and its bearing on our client engagements.
Our product
Personal budgeting software sold in India is largely imported. It assumes a card-first, statement-first market and consequently handles local conditions poorly: high daily UPI transaction volume, multiple credit cards on differing cycles, and bank statements secured with PAN-derived passwords.
Pathayam is built for that. Every rupee that arrives is assigned to a job before it is spent, so the month is decided in advance rather than reconstructed afterwards. Spending on a card immediately reserves the cash to clear it. Statement PDFs from eleven Indian banks — password-protected ones included — are parsed into a review queue where a person approves every row before it posts.
The name is Malayalam — പത്തായം — the wooden chest that held a Kerala household’s harvest, filled once and drawn from deliberately.

Why we built it
Indian banking is a genuinely awkward data-integration problem — inconsistent statement formats, password-protected PDFs, UPI volume, no clean API surface. No available product addressed it while allowing the user to retain custody of their own data.
Operating a product obliges us to live with our own decisions well beyond the invoice: our migrations, our defect reports, our incident response. Standards applied only to other organisations’ codebases tend to erode; ours are not permitted to.
Client work is largely subject to non-disclosure. Pathayam is not. The source and the test suite are public, and the engineering can be assessed before any agreement is entered into.

What it means for your project
Pathayam is also the reason our fintech and self-hosting work does not start from zero — see Industries for the sectors that benefits, and Work for client projects.
Pathayam represents our work where the client is ourselves. To commission a product built to the same standard — owned by you, fully exportable and capable of being handed over — provide us with the requirements.
