Stock, billing and party-ledger software for Abids and Troop Bazaar traders.

Abids is Hyderabad’s older retail centre, with the GPO area and Sunday book bazaar, stationery and printing shops, and the electrical, hardware and sanitaryware wholesalers of Troop Bazaar towards Koti. Business is recorded in a bahi, a bill book and Tally. GullySystem writes stock, billing and party-ledger software for these shops. Abids shops are served remotely, from a base in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru.

At a glance

Abids is an older shopping district of Hyderabad. Books and stationery, electricals and sanitaryware, garments and footwear are sold from shops that have traded for decades.

Records follow the same pattern. Purchases go into a bahi and sales into a bill book, and an accountant enters both into Tally at the end of the month. Stock sits outside all three.

Around Abids

Where the businesses are in Abids, and what they run on.

The GPO stretch and the Sunday book bazaar

Second-hand booksellers spread along the footpath on Sundays, with permanent book and stationery shops behind them. Books are bought by lot and held by pile. Little of that stock is recorded.

Troop Bazaar towards Koti

Wholesalers sell electricals, lighting, hardware and sanitaryware to contractors and retailers across Telangana, and each party has its own rate. The price on the bill depends on the buyer.

Koti and the textbook trade

Textbook and reference shops serve medical, engineering and law students, with photocopy and binding units beside them. Demand is concentrated in a few weeks each year, and buying follows the previous season.

Bank Street and Chirag Ali Lane

Printing presses, stationery suppliers, small offices and documentation services work here. Job orders are written on slips, and their status is checked in person.

Retail around Abids circle

Garment, footwear and jewellery shops sell to festival crowds and to long-standing credit customers. Credit accounts are kept in ledgers, and stock is counted by hand.

How software gets chosen

How Abids businesses pick and use software.

Traders who keep a bahi and a bill book usually involve their accountant before changing anything. Sales, purchases and receipts can be passed into Tally so that the accountant’s work stays the same.

The bill layout matters, because buyers recognise it. A new system can reproduce the existing layout, column order and language lines, so regular customers see a familiar bill.

GullySystem works from Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. Support is by phone call, screen-share and WhatsApp, and the first stock upload and counter training are also run remotely.

Where it breaks

Where Abids businesses lose time and money.

Brand schemes and credit notes are not tracked

Electrical and sanitaryware wholesalers buy on schemes, discounts and year-end credit notes. Recording each scheme against the purchase shows what the stock on the shelf really cost. Without it, margin is an estimate.

Stock is split across godowns

Goods sit in the shop, in a loft and in a rented room, and only the owner knows the full picture. A stock record by location tells the counter what can be promised today. It answers a customer at once.

Textbook stock ages after the session

Shops buy new editions before the session and hold what does not sell. Sales by title and year make the next purchase easier to plan. Old editions lose value.

Credit is not tracked by party and age

Contractors and retailers take goods and pay when their own project is paid, which can be a quarter later. An outstanding list by party and age shows whom to supply cautiously this week.

Common questions

Questions Abids owners ask before they call.

Can our accountant keep using Tally?

Yes. Sales, purchases and receipts pass into Tally, so the accountant’s work does not change, while stock, schemes and the party ledger live in the new system. Existing ledger names are matched before go-live.

Can our current bill format be kept?

Yes. The layout, column order and any Urdu or Telugu lines printed today can be copied, with missing GST fields added. Regular buyers then read the bill the way they always have.

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.
