Most tools do billing or inventory. Stockitiv does both — automatically.
Vyapar, Zoho Books, and Tally are billing-first tools with inventory bolted on, and spreadsheets track neither reliably. Stockitiv is inventory-first: every invoice and bill is tied to a real stock movement at a real location.

A closer look at each alternative
Stockitiv vs. Vyapar
Vyapar is a popular mobile billing app for Indian SMBs. It handles GST invoicing well, but it doesn't track stock separately per warehouse, shop, or godown — and it doesn't automatically move stock when you raise an invoice or receive a bill. If you sell from more than one location, you're back to a manual count.
Stockitiv vs. Zoho Books
Zoho Books is a capable general accounting tool, but its inventory features are limited on entry-level plans and lack true per-location tracking. It's built for accounting first, with inventory bolted on — Stockitiv is built the other way around: inventory first, with GST accounting wired directly into every stock movement.
Stockitiv vs. Tally
Tally is a long-standing installed accounting application. Its inventory module can technically track multiple godowns, but it requires significant configuration, a Windows machine, and typically an operator trained specifically on Tally. Stockitiv works from any browser on any device, with per-location tracking on by default.
Stockitiv vs. Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are flexible but they don't enforce anything — nothing stops a sale from being logged without stock being adjusted, or two people editing the same sheet at once. There's no automatic link between what you invoice and what leaves the shelf. Stockitiv makes that link automatic and auditable.
Frequently asked questions
Is Stockitiv a replacement for Tally?
For businesses whose core need is tracking inventory across multiple locations alongside GST invoicing, yes — Stockitiv covers invoicing, vendor bills, payments, and reporting without needing a separately configured inventory module. Businesses with complex statutory or manufacturing costing requirements beyond stock and invoicing may still use Tally alongside Stockitiv.
Does Stockitiv work if I only have one location today?
Yes. Stockitiv works with a single warehouse or shop, and you can add more locations later without migrating data — the same catalog and invoices carry over.
How is stock kept in sync with invoices automatically?
When you issue a sales invoice, Stockitiv deducts the invoiced quantities from the location you dispatched from. When you record a vendor bill, it adds the purchased quantities to the receiving location. Both happen as part of saving the document — there's no separate stock-adjustment step to remember.
