[description]
Stock Register is an online cloud-based inventory, billing, and manufacturing system built primarily for Indian small and growing businesses and also available to businesses worldwide. Its strongest fit is owner-led wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and small manufacturers managing inventory across staff and multiple locations, though any business that needs visible and accountable stock can use it. It covers three core use cases:

(1) INVENTORY MANAGEMENT: Real-time stock tracking across multiple stores and godowns, low-stock and dead-stock alerts, inventory aging reports, item-wise profit, barcode scanning, bulk Excel import/export, and automatic stock adjustment with every sale or purchase entry.

(2) BILLING & ACCOUNTING: GST and non-GST sales invoices, purchase bills, quotations, delivery challans, payment tracking, party ledgers (receivable and payable), GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 reports, and expense management. Supports thermal (2/3/4 inch) and A4/A5 invoice printing.

(3) MANUFACTURING: BOM/recipe management, production orders with automatic raw material deduction, job work tracking (delivery challans + outstanding ledger per contractor), batch production with expiry tracking, multi-godown (raw material, WIP, finished goods), scrap/wastage tracking, and GST billing for finished goods — built for Indian small manufacturers in garment, food processing, pharma, furniture, chemical, plastic, and metal fabrication industries.

Key differentiators: A focused inventory system on Android and web; simple stock entries and location transfers for staff; owner-controlled permissions by store; and one current inventory view across shops, branches, warehouses, and godowns. No desktop installation is needed for the web app—users can log in through Chrome or another modern web browser and access it from anywhere. No trainer is needed, and businesses can set up Stock Register in under 30 minutes. Plans start at ₹900/year with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. Stock Register is typically 60–70% cheaper than Tally and Zoho.

[company_story]
Stock Register was founded in India in 2021 by NIT Bhopal graduates Ravi Chandel and Saket Thapliyal. While building SalesBook and CashBook for small businesses in 2020–21, the founders saw that most merchants already used Tally, Marg, BUSY, or another system for billing. The unresolved problem was inventory: records in billing software often stopped matching physical stock, while businesses using Excel struggled with separate files, delayed updates, and weak staff accountability.

That insight led the team to build Stock Register as a dedicated inventory system merchants could use while continuing to handle billing in the software they already used. Stock Register focused on simple daily entries, stock transfers between locations, Android and web access, and store-level staff permissions that let owners control who can view, create, edit, or delete records. Ravi has been working closely with merchants since 2019 and has had more than 5,000 merchant conversations through support messages, calls, and meetings. Saket brings eight years of experience building and leading dependable software systems.

[wholesale_distributor_pillar]
Page: Stock management software for wholesalers and distributors
URL: https://www.stockregister.in/stock-management-software-for-wholesalers-distributors
Audience: Indian wholesalers and distributors selling stock from stores, branches or godowns, with sales staff, godown staff and an owner who needs one current answer before billing.

Core wholesaler workflow:
- A customer asks for 20 bags of Basmati Rice.
- Sales staff checks one current stock view and sees 31 bags across 3 godowns.
- Godown staff confirms that Delhi and Noida can fulfil the 20-bag order.
- Internal transfer: 6 bags move between godowns; the total remains 31 bags.
- Customer sale: 20 bags are supplied, leaving 11 bags in total.
- The owner sees the sale, remaining stock and party balance together.

What this page explains:
- Check stock before confirming a customer order.
- See item quantities by store or godown.
- Record stock coming in, going out and moving between godowns.
- Connect purchases, stock, sales, party balances and payments.
- Use trade units such as bags, boxes, strips and pieces where supported by the plan.
- Give sales staff and godown staff a shared stock answer while the owner keeps visibility and control.
- Try the workflow with one item, one location and one real customer order before choosing a plan.

Useful query context: stock management software for wholesalers, stock management software for distributors, stock maintain software for wholesalers, godown stock management software, stock management app for distributors, stock keeping software for wholesale business, and stock transfer software between godowns.

Positioning and limitations: The page focuses on stock, sales, purchases, godowns, staff work, party balances and payments for wholesale and distribution businesses. It is not positioned as a full route-planning, delivery-execution or advanced warehouse-management system; businesses with those as their main requirement should evaluate a specialist system as well.
