Desktop ERP vs cloud inventory

Busy and Marg are powerful Windows desktop products popular with traders, distributors and pharma — but they are installed and licensed per PC, with upfront license cost and annual renewals, and your data sits on that machine.

Nidhi Inventory is cloud-native: stock, warehouses and reorder levels live online and sync across web and mobile, with automatic backups. It pairs with Nidhi Books for GST billing and accounting, and the Books + Inventory bundle keeps both under one login.

Pricing is from ₹399/month for your first app plus ₹99/month per add-on, with unlimited users and no per-PC license (prices exclude GST). It is the simpler cloud switch for businesses that do not need a heavy desktop ERP.
