Inventory Software for Supermarkets & Kirana Stores

Thousands of barcoded SKUs, fast-moving stock and expiry — under control.

Short answer

399Apps is inventory software for supermarkets and kirana stores in India. It bills and depletes stock from a barcode scan at the counter, carries batch and expiry on perishable lines with near-expiry alerts, and shows category-wise margin across thousands of SKUs — a flat ₹399/month per app with unlimited users.

A supermarket or growing kirana runs five to twenty thousand SKUs across groceries, packaged foods, dairy and household lines. Half of them are perishable and most move at the counter by barcode, so stock has to update in real time and warn you before anything expires on the shelf.

How Supermarket & kirana stock is tracked

Supermarket stock is high-count and fast-moving: 399Apps holds every SKU with its barcode, so a scan at the counter both bills and depletes stock instantly. Perishable lines carry batch and expiry, category-wise reports show which aisles earn their margin, and low-stock alerts drive quick reordering on daily-selling items.

Who this is for — and who it isn't

A good fit

If you run a supermarket or a growing kirana with a few thousand barcoded SKUs and perishable lines going out of date on the shelf, 399Apps fits because barcode billing, batch expiry and category margin are one system — and every counter can bill without a per-till licence.

Probably not for you

If you are a single-counter kirana writing ten bills a day in a notebook, a mobile-first biller such as myBillBook or Vyapar is honestly enough until your SKU count and staff make stock control worth paying for.

We would rather you read that second box and walk away than pay for twelve months of the wrong tool.

The stock problems it solves

Different trade, same trap — stock that drifts from what the books say. Here's what 399Apps keeps straight for supermarkets & kirana stores:

Barcode billing & stock

Scan to bill; stock drops in real time — no end-of-day manual count.

Expiry on perishables

Batch + expiry on dairy, bakery and packaged foods with near-expiry alerts.

Thousands of SKUs

Item master with categories and HSN so reports stay readable at scale.

Category-wise margin

See which aisles actually earn, and which are dead shelf space.

What you get

  • ✓Barcode-driven billing & stock update
  • ✓Batch & expiry with near-expiry alerts
  • ✓Category & brand-wise stock reports
  • ✓Low-stock reorder alerts on fast movers
  • ✓Multi-rate & MRP-wise billing
  • ✓GST-correct invoices, GSTR-1/3B-ready

One flat price — stock and billing together

Legacy inventory software charges per user and hides stock control behind an add-on module. 399Apps is ₹399/month for your first app and a flat ₹399/month for each additional app — inventory and GST billing in one system, unlimited users, cloud or self-hosted. Adding staff never raises the bill.

FAQ

Inventory software for supermarkets & kirana stores — FAQ

I have about 6,000 SKUs and dairy that expires in four days — can the software warn me before I write stock off? +
Yes. Perishable lines are held per batch with an expiry date, and near-expiry alerts list what is close to dating out so you can push it, discount it or return it to the distributor while it still has value. Category-wise reports then show which aisles earn their margin and which are dead shelf space.
I run a supermarket & kirana business — will 399Apps handle the way I actually hold stock? +
Yes. 399Apps (Nidhi Inventory) is built for the way supermarkets & kirana stores hold stock. Supermarket stock is high-count and fast-moving: 399Apps holds every SKU with its barcode, so a scan at the counter both bills and depletes stock instantly. Perishable lines carry batch and expiry, category-wise reports show which aisles earn their margin, and low-stock alerts drive quick reordering on daily-selling items.
Which of my stock problems does this actually fix? +
The ones that cost a supermarket & kirana business money: barcode billing & stock, expiry on perishables, thousands of skus, category-wise margin. Each is handled in the software itself — no add-on module, no per-user fee.
What will this cost me, and does the price go up as I add staff? +
₹399/month for your first app and a flat ₹399/month for each additional app — the same price across India, with no per-user licence. Adding staff never raises the bill, so a one-counter shop and a busy supermarket & kirana distributor pay the same base price.
Do I have to buy billing separately, or does the inventory come with GST invoicing? +
Stock and billing are one system, so every sale updates inventory and produces a GST-correct invoice with GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B-ready data — no double entry, no separate billing tool.
Can I keep my data on my own server instead of the cloud? +
Yes, either way. Run 399Apps fully managed on the 399apps cloud with daily backups and an India data region, or self-host it on your own server for complete data ownership. The same inventory and billing features work in both.
