Kirana store software
Bill faster than the notebook, see what is in the godown from your phone, keep every customer's udhaar against their name, and let regulars order from your own online dukaan with no commission. Start on the Android phone you already own with the Quik App, or on a NukkadShops counter machine, priced on this page. Hindi readers can start at the हिंदी गाइड.
The problems
The day's sales live in a notebook and a calculator. Nobody knows which items made money and which just took up shelf space.
Credit is how a kirana keeps its regulars, but the notebook forgets entries, cannot remind anyone, and walks out with whoever last held it.
You learn an item is out of stock when a customer asks for it, and learn it expired when you find it at the back.
Households a street away order online while your store sits between them and the warehouse. You have no way to take that order.
A weekend of re-entering sales into another tool, or into the accountant's spreadsheet, because the bills were never in software to begin with.
How we solve it
Scan a barcode or tap a quick key for loose goods, take UPI, card or cash on one bill, and print the receipt or send it by SMS. When the network drops, billing keeps going and syncs later.
Faster than the notebook, every time.Every sale drops stock the same second. Low-stock alerts, expiry dates and what has not moved in a month, checked from your phone, and the inventory audit app replaces the manual count.
Godown mismatches caught early.Udhaar is recorded at billing against the customer's profile, with their wallet and loyalty points beside it. Festival offers and new arrivals go out over SMS and WhatsApp to the customers who actually buy them.
The khata book, formalised.Your regulars browse what is actually on your shelves and order from you directly through your own store app. The order lands in the same billing and stock as the counter, and the margin stays yours.
Compete with quick commerce on your own storefront.GST and HSN apply line by line at billing, and GSTR-ready reports export from the sales data. No re-entry, no month-end weekend.
Filing becomes a download.Beyond the bill
Billing is the part you see. The kirana retail software behind it is what stops the shop leaking money between the godown and the shelf.
Purchase and supplier records. Raise a purchase order, receive goods against it and keep each supplier's pending deliveries visible, so the paper trail builds itself instead of living in a diary. This is the part most kirana shop billing software leaves out, and it is usually where the money goes missing.
Reorder points instead of memory. Set a minimum for every fast mover and the system tells you what to order before the shelf is empty, rather than a customer telling you. Loose goods such as grains, dal, sugar and vegetables price straight off a connected weighing scale into the bill, so nothing leaks between the scale and the receipt.
One ledger from godown to counter. Every bill decrements stock the moment it prints, across counters and across shops, so what the dashboard says is what the shelf holds. Move stock to a second shop with transfer records both ends agree on, and let batch and expiry dates travel with the goods that need rotating.
What the owner actually sees. Day-end hisaab, item-level margins, dead stock and the fast movers, on the phone, without opening the shutter. That is what most owners are really after when they go looking for the best software for kirana stores, or for kirana ERP software: not a separate accounting package bolted on afterwards, but the shop's own numbers falling out of the billing it already does. It is the same kirana store management system whether you run one counter or fifty.
What it costs
Two parts: the software plan, quoted for your shop by counter count and features, and the device, which is optional and priced below. Every option runs the same kirana store software, so you can start on a phone and move to a counter machine without re-entering anything.
| Run it on | Best for | What you get | Device price (+ 18% GST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quik App on your Android phone | Starting out, or a second biller in the rush | Full POS on the phone you own: billing, stock, khata, offers, loyalty | No device to buy |
| Aspire | The single counter of a kirana or general store | 11.6-inch touch screen, inbuilt 2-inch receipt printer, barcode scanner and cash drawer ports | Rs 29,990 (Rs 35,388 incl.) |
| NS MPOS | Home-delivery handover and billing away from the counter | 5-inch handheld with inbuilt printer and a 5,200 mAh battery | Rs 17,500 (Rs 20,650 incl.) |
| Pro2 | A kirana growing into a supermarket counter | 15.6-inch full HD, Android 13, external printer | Rs 39,990 (Rs 47,188 incl.) |
How it works
Before the shutter goes up, the low-stock list and the items nearing expiry are on your phone. The purchase order to your distributor goes out from the same screen.
Barcode scan for packaged goods, quick keys for loose dal, rice and sugar. UPI, card or cash on one bill, receipt printed or sent by SMS. Offline if the network is down.
A regular takes the bill on credit. It is recorded on their profile at billing, with the running balance, and settled the same way when they pay.
Day-end sales by item and by payment mode, stock as it stands, and each customer's khata balance, on the dashboard or your phone. No notebook to total.
GSTR-ready reports export from the billing data for you or your accountant. If the shop is not GST registered, you simply skip this step.
Start small, grow
You do not need to buy hardware to start. The Quik App turns an Android smartphone or tablet into a full POS, and a kirana can begin there. When the counter gets busy, an Aspire with its inbuilt printer takes over the billing, the phone becomes the second biller in the rush, and the stock, khata and customer history carry across untouched.
Open a second shop and both run on one dashboard with one price list and one stock view. The same kirana retail chain software runs the 1,100+ Har-Hith franchise stores across 22 districts, so it does not run out of room when you grow.
"Earlier we used to lose customers because of slow billing. Now even during festival rush, we handle everything smoothly. The inventory alerts alone saved us lakhs."
Case studies
How kirana and general stores run on NukkadShops.
Sri Lakshmi General Store
Slow manual billing was losing customers at rush hour. NukkadShops Aspire with barcode scanning, automated inventory alerts and GST billing; staff trained in under 2 hours. Billing speed stopped costing customers, even during festival rush.
Ravi Kirana Store
"Billing speed doubled! Customers no longer wait in queue. Best investment for my shop," says owner Ravi Kumar. A Hyderabad kirana store on NukkadShops billing, with stock and customer records in the same system.
Kirana store software is the program a neighbourhood grocery shop uses to bill customers, track stock, keep customer credit (khata) and produce GST reports, in place of a notebook and a calculator. NukkadShops runs it on an ordinary Android phone through the Quik App or on a counter machine such as the Aspire, with the same data behind both.
The best kirana software bills faster than pen and paper, shows stock on your phone, keeps khata against each customer, sends GST reports out of the billing data and lets regulars order from you directly instead of a quick-commerce app. NukkadShops does all five and runs 15,000+ stores across India. Book a demo and bill your own fast movers on it.
The software plan is quoted for your shop by counter count and features. The device is optional and priced: run the Quik App on the Android phone you already own, or buy a counter machine, Aspire Rs 29,990 + 18% GST (Rs 35,388 incl.) with an inbuilt printer, or the handheld NS MPOS Rs 17,500 + GST (Rs 20,650 incl.).
Yes. The Quik App turns an Android smartphone or tablet into a complete POS: billing, inventory, offers, khata and loyalty. When the shop grows, add an Aspire or Pro2 at the counter and everything stays in the same system.
Yes. The khata ledger sits in the POS against each customer's profile, alongside their wallet and loyalty points. Every credit sale is recorded at billing, so nothing is forgotten and the balance is one tap away.
Yes. Billing, printing and stock continue on the device when the connection drops and sync automatically when it returns, so a customer at the counter never waits on the network.
Yes. GST and HSN codes apply line by line at billing, and GSTR-ready reports export straight from the sales data. If your shop is not GST registered, you simply skip the filing step.
Yes. Two branches or a kirana retail chain run on one dashboard with centralised stock, prices and offers, and the owner sees every shop from a phone. The same software runs the 1,100+ Har-Hith franchise stores.
No. Kirana shop software, kirana store software and kirana billing software all describe the same thing: the system a neighbourhood grocery bills and runs its stock on. The name is not what matters. What matters is whether it keeps khata against a customer, keeps billing when the internet drops, prices loose goods off a weighing scale and exports GST without re-typing. NukkadShops does all four, on a phone or on a counter machine.
Yes. A connected weighing scale prices grains, dal, sugar, vegetables and sweets straight into the bill, so there is no rate calculation in your head at the counter and no gap between what the scale showed and what the receipt says.
Yes. What people call grocery shop software is the same product here: a kirana, a general store and a self-service grocery all bill the same way, with barcodes on packaged goods, a scale for loose ones and GST on both. If you run a larger self-service floor with aisles and more than one counter, the grocery store software page covers that setup in more detail.
