Billing fast enough for a queue, and a khata you can trust
A kirana counter runs on speed and on credit. Khata is built for both — scan and bill in seconds, and keep every customer's udhaar straight without a paper bahi.
What gets in the way
- The udhaar bahi is the only record, and it lives on one paper notebook
- You do not know what is running out until a customer asks for it
- Billing has to work when the connection drops mid-rush
- Shop money and house money end up in the same pocket
How Khata handles it
Every point below is something you can check in the app on the day you install it.
Scan and bill
Scan a barcode with your phone camera and the item is on the bill. No separate scanner to buy.
Khata that adds itself up
Record udhaar against a customer and the balance updates itself. No carrying totals forward by hand.
Low stock before it is empty
Set a threshold per item and the inventory report tells you what to reorder before a customer finds out first.
Bills when the network is down
Bills are written to the phone first and queued. When the signal comes back they sync, with duplicate protection so a retry cannot double-count a sale.
Shop money vs house money
Cashflow entries are tagged business or personal, so your shop's real position is not blurred by household spending.
Sell by weight or by piece
kg, g, litre, ml, piece, dozen, packet and box are all supported, so loose goods bill the way you actually sell them.
What Khata does not do for kirana & general stores
Worth knowing before you move your books across.
- There is no expiry-date or batch tracking, so if you carry a lot of dated stock you will still track that separately.
- There is no weighing-scale integration — weights are entered by hand.
