What distribution billing actually needs

A distributor or wholesaler's counter looks nothing like a retail till: dozens of high-value bills a day, scheme pricing that changes by slab, stock spread across multiple godowns and brands, and most sales going out on credit to retailers you have to chase later. Generic billing software treats all of that as an afterthought. Here's what we built for it.

What distributors need How TatvaBooks does it
High-volume bulk billing Raise dozens of invoices a day without slowing down — repeat-item entry, saved party details and keyboard-first billing keep a busy counter moving.
Schemes & quantity discounts Slab-based and quantity discounts apply on the line as you bill, so a scheme price doesn't need a manual correction after the fact.
Multi-brand, multi-godown inventory Track stock by item and by godown, across as many brands and SKUs as you carry, with stock-in-hand visible before you commit to a sale.
Credit sales to retailers, outstanding tracked Every credit invoice rolls into an ageing-aware outstanding register per retailer, so you know who's overdue without chasing a separate ledger.
e-Invoice threshold relevance Turnover is tracked against the e-invoice threshold automatically; qualifying bills are flagged and the IRN + signed QR prepared on the invoice.
GSTR-2B reconciliation on purchases Purchases from your brands/principals are matched against GSTR-2B, with ITC mismatches called out line by line before you claim.

Honest caveat: e-invoices are prepared on the bill (IRN + signed QR) but not yet filed live to the NIC portal — that link is on the near-term roadmap.

Built for small and mid-sized distribution businesses

You don't need an ERP to run a wholesale or C&F business well — you need billing that keeps up with volume, inventory that's honest about what's actually in the godown, and a clear picture of who owes you money. TatvaBooks gives a small distribution team that without months of implementation: set up items, godowns and party credit terms once, then bill. Margins and closing stock stay accurate because cost of goods posts in the same entry as the sale — see our inventory management software page for how stock tracking works end to end.

Credit to retailers, without losing track

Most distribution sales aren't cash — they're credit to retailers who pay on their own schedule. Every credit invoice you raise rolls straight into an ageing-aware outstanding register per party, so you can see who's 30, 60 or 90 days out without rebuilding a ledger by hand at month-end. Combined with GST-correct billing (see GST billing software), your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B workings stay ready to review too.

Frequently asked questions

Can distributors and wholesalers bill in bulk without slowing down?
Yes. TatvaBooks is built for volume — repeat-item entry, saved party and pricing details, and keyboard-first billing keep a high-throughput counter or back office fast. Quantity and scheme discounts apply on the line, so you're not correcting the invoice afterward.
Does it handle multi-godown, multi-brand inventory?
Yes — track stock by item across as many godowns and brands as you carry. Stock-in-hand is visible before you bill, so you're not promising what isn't in the warehouse.
How does it track outstanding from retailers I sell on credit?
Every credit sale rolls into a per-retailer outstanding register with ageing, so overdues are visible at a glance instead of being rebuilt from the ledger each month.
Does distributor billing software prepare e-invoices?
Turnover is tracked against the e-invoice threshold automatically, and qualifying bills get the IRN and signed QR prepared on the invoice (on the Business plan and above, ₹599/month). Live filing to the NIC portal is on our near-term roadmap.
What does it cost for a distribution or wholesale business?
Most distributors need inventory and multi-user billing from day one, so the Business plan at ₹599/month is the usual starting point. The Growth plan at ₹1,099/month adds more users and manufacturing/costing features if you also assemble or repack. There's no per-invoice charge on any plan.
