Supermarket Billing Software and POS

Scan-and-bill checkout for thousands of products, stock that stays accurate and GST handled on every bill, in one browser-based app.

Common challenges for supermarkets & departmental stores

Thousands of SKUs

Packs, sizes and brands multiply quickly, and searching by name is too slow at the counter.

Rush-hour queues

Weekend and evening peaks need fast, error-free billing.

Loose and weighed items

Rice, dal, vegetables and sweets sold by weight need a quick way to bill.

Price and rate changes

MRP changes and GST 2.0 rate changes must reach every counter at once.

Shrinkage

Small, frequent losses from breakage, expiry and theft add up across thousands of items.

Online competition

Customers compare with quick-commerce apps and want to order from their phones.

Running a supermarket on billing software: practical tips

Set up the item master first

Most packaged products already carry a manufacturer EAN-13 barcode, so scanning them while adding items is the fastest way to build your item list. For loose items, create your own codes and print shelf or bag labels with our free barcode generator, or keep a laminated barcode card at the counter.

Check GST rates after GST 2.0

From 22 September 2025, many grocery and FMCG items moved to lower slabs: biscuits, chocolates, ice cream and coffee to 5%, butter, ghee and cheese to 5%, soaps, shampoo and toothpaste to 5%, and pre-packaged paneer, UHT milk and Indian breads to nil. Review the rate on every item in your master, using the HSN code finder to confirm codes. Source: PIB: 56th GST Council recommendations.

Count by category, every week

With thousands of SKUs, a full count is rare. Count one category or aisle each week and correct the differences. Start with high-value and high-theft items such as dry fruits, personal care and chocolates.

Watch near-expiry stock

Check dates on dairy, bakery and packaged foods weekly, move near-expiry stock to the front, and return or discount it before it becomes a write-off.

A supermarket needs fast barcode billing, an item master that handles thousands of products, accurate stock and GST on every bill. VelBooks covers billing, barcode inventory, GST, accounts and an online store in one app. Try it free for 30 days with your own items.
Can I use barcodes printed on products?
