Trading runs on volume and margin. Alstar ERP is built for the counter and the godown — invoices raised in seconds, stock that moves with every bill, and party-wise credit you can actually see.
When billing is slow, the queue at the counter grows — or worse, sales go out on plain challans and the invoice “comes later.”
Half of trade is credit. When outstanding lives in a diary, follow-ups depend on memory and dues quietly age past recovery.
Rates and schemes vary by party and product. Mental arithmetic at billing speed costs real margin — one wrong discount at a time.
Fast movers run out while slow movers gather dust, because nobody can see quantities across the whole catalogue at once.
Trading businesses rarely notice these losses because each one is small — a ₹200 discount error here, a stock-out there, a 90-day-old due remembered late. Across a month of invoices they compound into real money, which is why billing software pays for itself faster in trade than in almost any other business.
Pick the party, pick the items, save. GST invoice with HSN codes and tax breakup, printed or WhatsApped — no voucher screens.
Set rates and MRP-based discounts per item, and the bill computes itself. The margin you planned is the margin you keep.
Invoicing deducts quantities automatically across your whole catalogue, so fast movers get reordered before they run out.
See what every party owes and since when. Follow up from a list, not from memory.

Alstar ERP fits wholesale traders, distributors and stockists — electrical, hardware, pharma, FMCG, auto parts, paints, pipes and general merchants — businesses where billing speed is customer service and credit discipline is survival. If your counter still runs on a billing PC only one person can operate, this replaces it with something the whole team can use from any device. The same login covers purchases, party ledgers and an owner’s dashboard — and because it is cloud software, the counter, the godown and the owner all see the same numbers at the same moment.
15-minute demo with your own items and rates. No credit card, no commitment.
