We have 400 cartons of one item spread across three racks — can the app tell my picker which rack to go to? +
Yes. Once stock is put away into bins, the item's bin stock page lists every bin holding it and how much is in each. When you build a picklist from the order, the line already names the bin holding the most of that item, so the picker walks straight there.
How does the scan stop a wrong item from being picked? +
On each picklist line the picker scans the item barcode or a unit's serial or printed code. The app checks it against the item on the line. If it is a different item, the pick is refused with a message naming both items. It also refuses a quantity larger than the line still needs.
Does moving stock between bins change my stock figures? +
No. A put-away or bin-to-bin move takes the quantity off one bin and adds it to another inside the same location, so the location total stays the same. Stock only leaves the warehouse when the invoice is sent.
Can I do a stock take without the counter seeing the expected numbers? +
Yes. Tick "Blind count" when you open a cycle count and the expected quantity stays hidden until the count is approved. A blank box means not counted yet, so an empty bin has to be entered as 0 before it is written off.
What happens to stock that was picked during a cycle count? +
It is kept. When the count is approved, the correction is the counted quantity minus the bin's live balance at that moment, not the frozen figure from when the count opened. A pick made halfway through the count is not reversed.
Can I see which items have not sold for months? +
Yes. The warehouse dashboard has a slow-moving list: items you still hold that nothing has gone out of in the last 90 days, with the bins they sit in and when they last went out. You can change the 90-day window.
Do I need Nidhi Inventory as well? +
Yes. Nidhi Warehouse reads the stock that Nidhi Inventory records, and you create your aisles, racks and bins in Inventory. Both are ₹399/month, so the pair is ₹798/month with unlimited users.
How is Nidhi Warehouse different from Nidhi Traces? +
Warehouse tracks where goods are inside the godown — which bin. Traces tracks which lot they came from and when they expire, with FEFO picking and a recall report. They are separate ₹399 apps and you can run either or both on top of Nidhi Inventory.
I already keep my racks as sub-godowns in TallyPrime. Why would I add Nidhi Warehouse? +
Sub-godowns tell you where stock is once someone records the move. Nidhi Warehouse also tells the picker which bin to walk to for each order line, refuses the wrong item at the scan, reserves picked goods until the invoice is sent, and runs blind cycle counts by bin. If nobody picks from more than a few racks, TallyPrime godowns may be enough.
What does Nidhi Warehouse cost? +
₹399/month on the 399apps cloud, like every other app, with unlimited users and no cap on locations, bins or items. Self-hosted deployment is available on the same product.
