Billing for the Ahmedabad shop counter, in Gujarati.
A phone-first billing counter for Ahmedabad shops that buy at dawn, sell till late and keep regulars on khata.
Much of Ahmedabad's retail still takes its rhythm from the old walled city. Families there live in pols, housing clusters where a whole lane often shares a community or a trade. The kirana at the mouth of a pol knows most of its customers by name and by habit. A short walk away, Manek Chowk shows how hard one square can work. The city's heritage department describes it as a vegetable market in the morning, one of India's largest gold, silver and jewellery markets during the day, and a busy food court after dark. Manekchowk also appears as one of Ahmedabad's APMC market points in government price data.
Fresh stock for neighbourhood shops comes through a handful of wholesale points. The Kalupur vegetable market near Kalupur railway station is an early-morning market where retailers, hotels and caterers buy for the day. Fruit moves through the Jamalpur fruit market near Jamalpur bridge. The APMC network also lists city yards such as the Chimanbhai Patel Market at Vasna and a fruit market at Naroda. A dairy, fruit or provision shop that buys at dawn and sells until late has a long day and two stock questions: what came in this morning, and what is still sitting in the back.
The counter mostly speaks Gujarati. In the 2011 census about 68 percent of people in the municipal area gave Gujarati as their first language and about 20 percent gave Hindi, with smaller Urdu, Sindhi and Marathi groups. That mix often sits inside one shop. The owner thinks through the accounts in Gujarati, and a helper who came from another state reads Hindi more easily.
Every GSTIN registered in Gujarat begins with 24. A regular dealer selling to a local customer charges CGST and SGST and needs HSN codes on the invoice. Many small kiranas are on the composition scheme or are not registered at all, and only need a clean bill.
Bazaar IQ fits this pattern without asking the shop to change. Owner and staff can each use the app in Gujarati, Hindi or English on the same account. Morning purchases from Kalupur or Jamalpur go in as godown stock and move to the shelf when they are put out, so storage and display are counted separately. Pol regulars who settle at month end get a khata balance that updates with every bill. And the shop prints a GST tax invoice, a Bill of Supply or a plain cash memo, depending on how it is registered.
From the morning market to the shelf
A fruit or dairy shop in Ahmedabad often buys before most customers are awake. In Bazaar IQ that purchase goes into storage stock first. When a crate is opened and the shelf is filled, it moves to display. By evening the owner can see what sold, what is still in the back, and what needs buying tomorrow. See how it works on the inventory page.
Pol regulars and the khata
Families in a pol often buy daily and settle at the end of the month. Bazaar IQ puts khata inside the bill itself. Pick the customer, mark the bill as credit, and their running balance updates. When they pay, the payment comes off the same ledger. No separate diary to reconcile.
Gujarati at the counter, Hindi for the helper
The owner can set the app to Gujarati and a helper can use Hindi. Both bill from the same stock. Staff logins control which screens each person sees, and the owner gets an alert if someone voids a bill or deletes an item.
If you run a second shop across the river, multi-store keeps stock separate per shop and records transfers between them. Try it free for 14 days, no card needed, or book a demo.

Can my staff in Ahmedabad use the app in Gujarati?
Yes. Bazaar IQ is available in Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi and English, and each person picks the language they read best. The owner can work in Gujarati while a helper uses Hindi on the same shop account.
Does Bazaar IQ print GST invoices for a Gujarat GSTIN?
Regular dealers get GST tax invoices with HSN codes and CGST and SGST shown separately. Gujarat GSTINs start with 24. Composition dealers get a Bill of Supply with the required composition line and no tax lines, and unregistered shops a plain cash memo.
I buy fresh stock early in the morning at Kalupur. How do I record it?
Enter the purchase as stock into storage. When you put it on the shelf, move it to display. Bazaar IQ keeps the two counts apart, so you always know what is out front and what is still in the back.
What if the internet drops in the middle of a rush?
An open billing screen keeps working without a connection. Bills made in that time sync when the network comes back.
