The customer is a mechanic holding the old part
Spares is a lookup business. Someone walks in with a broken component and a vehicle waiting on a lift, and the only thing that matters for the next ninety seconds is whether you can find the right part and know it is in the rack. Everything else in the book is downstream of that.

What makes this trade different
Everything is a number nobody remembers
Parts are identified by long alphanumeric codes that differ per manufacturer. Search is not a feature here; it is the transaction.
Slow movers eat the capital
Breadth is the whole proposition, so you stock things that sell twice a year. Knowing what has not moved is what stops the shelf becoming a museum.
Garages buy daily, settle monthly
A workshop takes ten small items over four weeks and pays once. Reconstructing what that payment covered is a monthly argument.
Wrong part goes back
Returns to the distributor and from the mechanic are normal traffic, not exceptions, and both legs have to land in the books correctly.
Features that exist, doing the actual work
Everything below is in the build you can download today.
Three ways to find one part
SKU, barcode and alias fields on the item master, queried against a local indexed SQLite database. No round trip to a server while the mechanic waits.
Credit and debit notes as real vouchers
Returns post through the same engine as the sale — stock and ledger both reverse properly, instead of being patched afterwards with a journal that nobody can explain at audit.
Bill-by-bill garage accounts
Each supply is a bill; the monthly settlement allocates across the specific bills it clears. The month-end conversation becomes a printed list rather than a memory test.
Stock summary that exposes dead lines
Stock summary and ledger statement reports aggregate in SQL, so the position across a wide catalogue stays instant as years of movement pile up behind it.
Rack and godown tracked separately
Multi-warehouse stock with real movements, so "we have it, but not here" is something the software can tell you.
Offline at the counter
The book is a local encrypted file. The lookup that decides your sale does not depend on a broadband line staying up.

Questions
Auto Parts & Spares — questions, answered
A customer walks in with a part number — can I find it fast enough?
Yes. SKU, barcode and alias fields on the item master are queried against a local indexed SQLite database, so the lookup that decides the sale happens with no round trip to a server while the mechanic waits.
Wrong parts go back — to the distributor and from the mechanic. Are both handled?
Yes. Returns post as credit and debit notes through the same engine as the sale, so stock and the ledger both reverse properly instead of being patched afterwards with a journal nobody can explain at audit.
A garage buys daily and settles monthly — can I reconcile that payment?
Yes. Each supply is a bill and the monthly settlement allocates across the specific bills it clears, so the month-end conversation becomes a printed list rather than a memory test.
Can I see which slow-moving lines are tying up capital?
The stock summary and ledger statement reports aggregate in SQL, so the position across a wide catalogue stays instant as years of movement pile up — and the lines that have barely moved become visible rather than buried.
Is GST — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, e-invoice — included?
Yes, in the single plan. All of it reads the vouchers you raised at the counter, so the return follows the billing you already did instead of being re-entered.
Does the counter keep working when the internet drops?
Yes. The book is a local encrypted file, so the part lookup and the billing that depend on it do not rest on a broadband line staying up. Cloud backup catches up when the line returns.
