Inventory Software for Indian Businesses

The best fit depends on how your trade holds stock — a pharmacy needs batch and expiry, a mobile shop needs serial/IMEI tracking, a garment store needs a size-colour matrix, a wholesaler needs godown-wise stock and unit conversion. 399Apps handles all of these in one system for a flat ₹399/month with unlimited users, cloud or self-hosted.

399Apps is a flat ₹399/month per app — the same price across India, with no per-user licence. Most inventory tools charge per seat and stack add-on fees; 399Apps does not.

Yes. Inventory and billing are one system, so every sale updates stock and produces a GST-correct invoice with GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B-ready data — no double entry and no separate billing tool.

Yes. 399Apps supports batch-number and expiry tracking with first-expiry-first-out for pharmacies and FMCG, serial/IMEI-level stock for electronics, godown-wise quantities with transfers for distributors, and size-colour matrix stock for garments.

Both. Run it fully managed on the 399apps cloud with daily backups and an India data region, or self-host on your own server for complete data ownership. The same inventory and billing features work either way.

Be realistic: the typing is the real cost of starting, not the subscription. You export your item and stock list from Tally, Vyapar or Excel and import it, with opening quantities and rates, GSTIN, tax rates and HSN/SAC codes carried across so your first invoice is compliant. There is no one-click pull from a Tally file, and if your list only exists on paper you still owe yourself one physical count before you start — no software can skip that. Guided onboarding is available for larger datasets. Pick a clean cut-over date and run both systems for one filing cycle before retiring the old one.

Drift is usually a process problem, not a software one, and it is honest to say no system prevents theft, a miscount at goods-inward or a sale rung up on the wrong item. What 399Apps removes is the most common cause in small shops: a separate billing tool and a separate stock register, so stock is only updated when someone remembers to. Inventory and GST billing are one system here — every invoice depletes stock as it is raised, so there is no second entry to forget. Minimum-stock alerts then surface the items worth recounting first, rather than shutting the shop for a full count.

No. Unlimited warehouses, branches, outlets and users are included on every 399Apps plan, starting at the ₹399/month entry tier, with real-time stock sync and transfers across locations. This is the common upgrade trap elsewhere: multi-godown or multi-store tracking is frequently held behind a higher-priced tier you only discover you need once the second location is already open. Prices exclude GST.

If a single PC genuinely covers your work and your internet is unreliable, staying put is a fair decision. The cloud earns its place when stock has to be visible from more than that one machine — a second godown, a counter, your phone at a supplier, or your CA at filing time — with no per-PC licence or annual AMC to renew, and nothing to install. If you want cloud-style access without handing your data to someone else to host, the self-hosted edition runs on your own server over LAN.
