Mumbai’s trading firms keep stock, orders and outstanding lists in separate places.
Mumbai’s wholesalers and distributors, from Masjid Bunder and Kalbadevi to the Bhiwandi godowns, keep records in Tally, godown registers and WhatsApp. Once stock sits in several places, the register and the outstanding list are updated separately. GullySystem supplies inventory, order and collection software for this trade from Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with set-up done remotely.
A Mumbai trading business may keep its office in Kalbadevi or Masjid Bunder, its stock in a Bhiwandi godown and its salesmen in the suburbs. Goods move by tempo, and the e-way bill, delivery challan and invoice are prepared by different people, so each becomes a separate record that someone has to reconcile later. Timing differs too.
Service firms follow a different pattern. CA practices in Fort, brokers near Dalal Street and agencies in Andheri and Lower Parel manage clients from Excel and email, with follow-ups and billing kept separately. Each client has its own folder.

How Mumbai businesses pick and use software.
Trading firms in Mumbai already work with a Tally partner, so new software is set up beside Tally and posts entries into it. A demo on the firm’s own stock and party data shows how it would work.
Staff who move goods and take orders work from phones. A screen for godown entry or order taking needs fewer steps than a WhatsApp message, or staff will go back to sending the message. Set-up calls and screen-shares are held remotely.
Some firms have used a larger package that needed a consultant for each change. A smaller system that starts with one job, such as godown stock or collections, can be extended later. Scope is reviewed during implementation.
Where Mumbai businesses lose time and money.
Stock, orders and godown counts differ between locations
The godown keeper writes in a register and the office enters Tally the next morning, so the accounts always describe yesterday’s stock. Salesmen quote from the last figure they saw. A shared stock screen updated at the godown gate keeps one number.
Receipts by UPI and cheque are not matched to bills
Retailers pay part amounts against several invoices, and the accountant matches them at month end against the bank statement. Bank and UPI entries can be pulled in with a suggested match. The outstanding list then reflects each day’s receipts.
Karigar gold balances are reconciled monthly
In Zaveri Bazaar, gold issued, pieces received and wastage allowed are written in a karigar book that is added up once a month by hand. A karigar ledger records every issue and receipt by weight. The balance with each karigar is visible at any time.
Salesmen work from different price lists
Rates change with currency and supplier, while older PDF lists remain in WhatsApp groups. One price list inside an order app gives every salesman the same rate. Old lists are retired in one place.

Read the case studyQuestions Mumbai owners ask before they call.
Can one system show stock across our Bhiwandi godowns and the Mumbai shop?
Yes. Each godown and shop becomes a location, and every inward, transfer and dispatch is entered where it happens, on a phone if needed. The office, salesmen and owner see the same stock figure, and Tally receives the entries without retyping.
We are a small jeweller in Zaveri Bazaar. Is custom software too much for us?
It depends on the counter. Ready jewellery billing packages cover hallmarking and old-gold exchange, and for a single counter they can be the better fit. Where karigar work or the wholesale side is the difficulty, a custom karigar ledger is worth weighing at the first review.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
