Stock that runs out loses you sales; stock that sits too long or expires loses you money. A good inventory management app tells you exactly what to order and when — automatically. Here's what to look for, and how Dukai keeps your stock under control without any manual counting.
What good stock management gives you
- 📦 Live stock — quantities update automatically with every sale and purchase.
- 🔔 Low-stock alerts — get a list of items running out so you re-order in time.
- 📅 Batch & expiry tracking — know which batch expires when (vital for food and medicine).
- 🏷️ Supplier & cost records — track who supplied each batch and at what cost.
- 📷 Barcode scanning — count and update stock with your phone camera.
- 📊 Stock reports & valuation — see the value of stock on hand any time.
How Dukai manages stock for you
You never have to maintain a separate stock register. When you bill a customer, stock goes down; when you record a purchase, it goes up. Dukai shows a low-stock list so re-ordering is one glance, tracks batch numbers and expiry dates, and can even print a buy list of what to restock. For food and pharmacy shops it adds near-expiry alerts so nothing is wasted.
Built for every kind of shop
Whether you run a kirana store, a medical shop, a clothing store or a hardware shop, Dukai handles your units — pieces, kg/grams, metres, packs — and keeps the count right. It works on the app, the web, and even from WhatsApp.
