Stock Register vs Vyapar for Manufacturing — Which is Better for Indian Small Manufacturers?

Vyapar is a popular billing and inventory app for Indian small businesses — but it was built primarily for traders, retailers, and wholesalers, not manufacturers. When a garment unit in Surat, a plastic moulding shop in Rajkot, or a chemical blender in Ankleshwar tries to use Vyapar for manufacturing, they quickly hit limits: BOM management is basic, job work tracking is limited, godowns are capped in lower plans, and the full manufacturing feature set requires an expensive add-on.

Stock Register is built specifically for Indian small manufacturers. BOM management, production orders with auto stock deduction, job work challan with outstanding tracking, unlimited godowns, and GST billing are all included in the base Manufacturing plan at ₹3,300/year — not as add-ons.

Why Indian manufacturers outgrow Vyapar App

These are the most common frustrations manufacturers report before switching.

🔧

Manufacturing features are an add-on, not the core

Vyapar's BOM and production features were added later for manufacturers who were already using it for billing. They work, but they are not as deep as a purpose-built manufacturing tool. You pay extra for features that should be standard.

Limited godowns in lower plans

Manufacturing requires separate godowns for raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Vyapar limits the number of godowns in lower-tier plans, forcing manufacturers to upgrade or merge godown locations that should be separate.

Job work tracking is basic

Job work (sending material to cutting units, stitching contractors, toll manufacturers) is critical in Indian manufacturing. Vyapar's job work challan feature exists but the outstanding ledger per job worker is limited compared to what manufacturers actually need.

Suresh Unit? — not tracked

📊

BOM is single-level and lacks production reporting

Vyapar supports single-level BOMs — which works for simple products. But production reports that compare BOM-expected consumption against actual consumption (for wastage detection) are not available, making it hard to catch raw material losses.

Why Indian manufacturers choose Stock Register over Vyapar

Built for the factory floor — not the accountant's desk.

🏗️

Manufacturing Is the Core, Not an Add-On

Stock Register's Manufacturing plan was designed from day one for production businesses. Every feature — BOM, production orders, job work, multi-godown — is built into the core product. In Vyapar, manufacturing features were layered on top of a billing-first product, which means the experience is less cohesive and some features require separate add-ons.

Deeper Job Work Tracking for Indian Manufacturing Reality

Indian manufacturing is job-work intensive — garment units send to stitching contractors, chemical businesses use toll manufacturers, fabrication shops send to cutting units. Stock Register's job work module tracks what was sent, what came back, and what is outstanding per contractor — with ageing data. This level of tracking is not available in Vyapar's basic job work feature.

Wastage Reports That Show You Where Raw Material Goes

Stock Register's production reports compare the raw material quantity your BOM says should have been consumed against what was actually deducted from stock. Any difference indicates wastage, measurement errors, or pilferage. This report is not available in Vyapar, making it impossible to identify raw material leakage systematically.

Unlimited Godowns — Always Included

A manufacturing business needs at minimum three physical godown locations: raw material store, production floor, and finished goods warehouse. Stock Register includes unlimited godowns in the Manufacturing plan. Vyapar restricts godown count in lower plans, forcing you to either merge locations or upgrade your plan.
