Batch & expiry with FEFO
Every movement carries its batch and expiry date, and consumption follows first-expiry-first-out so the oldest stock leaves first.
Marg ERP alternative
Distribution-grade stock. On the cloud.
Marg is entrenched in pharma and FMCG distribution for good reason — batch and expiry handling is non-negotiable there. Finkitaabh brings that same discipline to a browser, with the compliance layer built in.
हर batch, हर expiry — नज़र में।

Why distributors look for something newer
In pharma and food distribution, the software question is really an expiry question. Stock that ages past its date is money already lost, and consuming the wrong batch first is how it happens. Marg handles this, which is why it is everywhere in the trade — but it is a locally installed system, and access, backups and upgrades follow from that.
Finkitaabh tracks stock by batch number and expiry date with first-expiry-first-out consumption, and surfaces near-expiry, expired and below-reorder items on an alerts dashboard that resolves entries automatically as the underlying condition clears.
Around it sits the rest of a distributor's month: E-Way Bill Part A created automatically above ₹50,000 with validity, extensions and multi-leg movement tracking; delivery challans auto-numbered per financial year with vehicle, transporter and ship-to particulars; GSTR-1, 3B and 9 from your posted books; and a live on-hand hint while billing, with a soft warning if a line would oversell available stock.
Built for the way stock actually moves
🔔
Alerts that resolve themselves
Low stock below reorder level, near-expiry and expired items appear on a dashboard and clear automatically once the condition no longer holds.
🚚
E-Way Bills and challans
Part A above ₹50,000 with validity countdown, extensions and multi-leg tracking, plus challans with full transport particulars and a draft→dispatched→delivered→invoiced status machine.
📉
Oversell warning while billing
A live "in stock → after this sale" hint as you type each line, with a non-blocking confirm if the quantity would exceed what is on hand.
📦
Off-premises stock register
Goods in transit, with a third party or sent on approval are tracked informationally without being double-counted in on-hand quantity.
🏛
Compliance in the same system
GSTR-1, 3B and 9, RCM, ITC-eligibility control and correct statutory document titles — no separate filing tool.
Finkitaabh vs Marg ERP

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle expiry returns to the supplier?
Purchase returns run a full return flow with GST adjustment through reversing credit-note postings, so the stock movement and the tax effect stay consistent with the original purchase.
Can I see stock by batch while raising an invoice?
Yes — a live hint shows on-hand quantity and what it becomes after the current line as you type, and billing more than is available raises a soft confirm rather than blocking the sale.
How is closing stock valued?
At weighted average, derived from the append-only movement ledger, and it flows automatically into the Balance Sheet, the P&L trading account and your income-tax computation.
Is this suitable for a multi-branch distributor?
Stock segments organise inventory, several companies can run under one login with full isolation, and staff get built-in or custom roles. Talk to us on the demo call about your specific branch structure.
