Supermarket billing software in Nepal, from till to godown

Saturday queues at every till, a godown that never matches the shelf, and no idea which aisle earns. Kuver Books bills every counter into one stock, tracks godown transfers and shows margin by item.

  • IRD-format VAT invoices
  • A login and role for each cashier
  • Godown and shop floor as warehouses
  • Free trial, no card required

In short

What billing software do supermarkets in Nepal use?

A supermarket in Nepal needs VAT bills at several tills, one stock count across the godown and the shelves, and margin by item. Kuver Books is cloud billing and inventory software that does this, with a login and role for each cashier, barcode billing and tracked godown transfers. It is listed by the Inland Revenue Department under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074, with unlimited warehouses on every plan.

Before and after

What changes when a supermarket moves off a single desktop till?

  • The numbers stop living on one machine

    Every till bills into the same cloud records, so the owner reads the day’s sales and stock from any browser while the shop is still open, and a broken computer at one counter does not take the records with it.

    Before: One desktop computer holds the only copy of the day's sales, and the owner sees them the next morning.

  • The godown stops being a guess

    Transfers to the floor run as requisitions and stock issues with the lots named, goods in transit are visible on both sides, and a count that does not match is corrected with a reason and an approval rather than a quiet edit.

    Before: Godown stock counted once a month, and the gap with the shelves written off as a guess.

  • Margin becomes something you watch each month

    There are 32 built-in reports, including product profitability, inventory ageing and the VAT registers, plus 4 insight hubs, 16 KPIs, 16 charts that open on the numbers rather than on an empty filter form.

    Before: Margin worked out once a year, from a closing stock figure nobody quite trusts.

What Kuver Books does for you each day

Several tills on one stock, godown-to-shelf transfers, and margin by item and category.

  • Several tills, one stock count

    Each cashier bills on their own login, and every approved bill draws from the same stock.

  • Godown to shelf on a requisition

    The floor asks, the godown issues the lots, and anything not yet shelved shows as in transit.

  • Breakage and count gaps on the record

    Every shortfall goes through an adjustment with a reason and an approval before stock changes.

  • Which category actually earns

    Product profitability sets cost of goods sold against sales and margin for every item.

  • Supplier rate rises caught early

    Purchase insights flag a cost spike when an item costs more than its own history.

Supermarkets and department stores, hour by hour

What does a Saturday look like across the tills?

  1. Opening

    Every till signs in to the same stock

    The shutters go up and every till signs in. Each cashier logs in as themselves, and every bill they raise draws from the same catalogue and the same stock. A packet scans and lands on the line, and the same packet scanned again raises the quantity instead of adding a second line. When a customer goes back for the milk they forgot, the half-finished bill is kept as a draft while the cashier serves the next person in the queue. For the queues that come with Dashain and Tihar, the festival rush billing guide covers how to set the counter up beforehand.

  2. Mid-morning

    Shelves refilled from the godown

    By mid-morning the cooking oil and the rice aisle are thin. The shop floor and the godown are separate warehouses, each with its own balance, so the floor raises a requisition rather than someone carrying cartons out on trust. The godown approves what it can spare, which may be part of the request, and a stock issue names the lots leaving. Until the floor confirms the receipt, the goods sit in transit where both sides can see them. If a carton arrives damaged, the shortfall is settled with a reason code and the adjustment is written for you.

  3. Afternoon

    Supplier bills photographed at the back door

    Deliveries arrive all afternoon, and nobody has time to type supplier bills. Photograph the bill (PNG or JPEG), up to 5 photos per batch, 20 MB each. AI Bill Scanning reads the supplier, the dates, the totals and every line, and matches each line to your catalogue. Someone checks the filled-in purchase bill beside the photo and approves it, and stock goes up batch by batch. Purchase insights then flag anything that has jumped in price against its own history, so a supplier rate rise is seen this week rather than at year end. 25 AI bill scans a day included on Standard and Premium.

  4. Closing

    Takings by method, then the lock

    At closing the dashboard splits the day by payment method, since you can record payments across 10 Nepali methods: cash, Khalti, eSewa, bank transfer, ConnectIPS, Fonepay, IME Pay, PrabhuPay, card and mobile banking. Collections sit in the cash-flow ledger with a running balance, and once the day is closed it locks, so nobody edits it afterwards. Depositing the cash is one screen that shows the available amount, the amount transferring and the closing balance before you confirm. The low-stock banners tell tomorrow’s buyer what to order first.

How do several tills share one stock count?

Every cashier signs in as themselves and bills from the same catalogue. When a bill is approved, stock leaves the warehouse it was billed from, so the shelf figure is the same at every counter and on the owner screen.

  • A role for every cashier Who may bill, discount, void or approve is set per module and per action.
  • Discounts only where you allow A role switch decides who may discount, and products can be marked no-discount.
  • Every void has a name on it Creates, approvals and voids are stamped with the user and the time.

Which products and categories actually make money?

A supermarket can sell a lot and still earn little. Product profitability sets purchases and cost of goods sold against sales for each item, and purchase insights show when a supplier rate has crept up.

  • Gross margin, product by product Opening stock, purchases, cost of goods sold, sales and margin for each item.
  • Slow movers found by age The ageing report shows what has sat longest on the shelf, so you can put it on offer.
  • Top sellers on the dashboard The dashboard lists top sellers by quantity and sales value, so you know what must never run out.

Fit check

What does Kuver Books not do for supermarkets?

Better you hear it now than after a month of setup.

  • It does not read a weighing scale or print scale labels

    Fruit, vegetables and loose goods are set up with a kilo or gram unit, and the cashier keys the weight.
  • It does not split one payment across two methods on the till screen

    Each payment carries one method, so a customer paying partly in cash and partly by QR is recorded as two payments against the same bill.
  • It does not run points or membership cards

    A regular customer’s discount comes from a customer type, a line discount or a bill discount.
  • It does not reorder for you

    Minimum stock levels raise low-stock alerts, and a person still decides what to buy.
  • It is cloud software, so every till needs a working connection

    Check that the shop’s line can carry all your counters before opening day, and see the hardware and connections page for scanners and printers.

Is this supermarket billing software in Nepal ready for VAT filing?

  • Unlimited warehouses on every plan
  • 5-step guided fiscal-year close
  • 14-day free trial, no card required

Kuver Books is listed by the Inland Revenue Department under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074. Invoice numbers run in sequence per fiscal year and are never reused or edited; reprints are marked as copies and cancelled bills stay on record, which matters more when several cashiers are billing at once. The sales and purchase registers, the VAT summary in Nepali months and the Annex 13 counterparty report are ready when your accountant asks, and the VAT invoice requirements guide sets out what each bill must show. Unlimited warehouses on every plan, and single branch on Standard and Premium; Enterprise covers multi-branch, priced with you. At year end a 5-step guided fiscal-year close settles balances, revalues inventory and locks the closed year. Start with a 14-day free trial, no card required, import your catalogue, and run a real Saturday on it.

Questions

Questions from supermarket owners

Can several cashiers bill at the same time on one stock?
Yes. Kuver Books runs in the browser, so each till is a computer with a scanner and a receipt printer, and each cashier signs in as themselves. Every bill draws from the same stock and joins one invoice sequence for the fiscal year. Roles decide who may discount, void or approve, and the activity log records who did what and when, which is where a disputed bill gets settled.
We sell fruit and vegetables by weight. Does it read our scale?
No. There is no weighing-scale or label-scale integration. Produce is set up with a kilo or gram unit and its own price, and the cashier keys the weight the scale shows onto the line. Packaged goods scan as usual. If most of your turnover is weighed at the till, run that flow on a trial with your own cashiers before you commit.
Our catalogue is large. How do we load it, and is there a limit?
Each plan carries a product limit and an invoice limit, published on the pricing page, so check your catalogue size against it before you choose. Products, categories, units, suppliers and opening stock come in through the import wizard, which matches your spreadsheet headers to fields. Supplier barcodes are then mapped to products in bulk rather than one at a time.
We are opening a second store. Is that covered?
It depends how separate the two stores need to be. Warehouses are unlimited on every plan, so a second outlet can run as its own warehouse with its own stock and tracked transfers. Fully separate stores with their own users and data are branches: Standard and Premium cover a single branch, and Enterprise covers multi-branch, priced with you.
