The daily grind

Challenges in stationery & book stores

The everyday problems this trade knows too well.

Thousands of small, low-value SKUs

Pens, files, notebooks, art supplies — a stationery shop carries a vast range at tiny margins. Tracking each line by memory is impossible.

School-season rush and bulk orders

Back-to-school packs the counter, and schools and offices place large orders on credit. Handling both pace and paperwork by hand is hard.

Notebooks and staples run out fast

Season staples like notebooks and pens empty first. Without live stock and reorder visibility, you lose the sale at the worst time.

Books and stationery tax differently

Taxable stationery sits beside nil-rated books on the same bill. Getting each item's GST right by hand invites errors at filing.

How RetailDek fits

The real features that solve the way stationery & book stores actually work.

Scan-to-bill on a huge catalogue

Give every item a barcode and let the scanner pull the exact product, price and GST rate, so even a vast stationery range bills fast.

Live stock with bulk Excel import

Track live quantity across thousands of items and import the whole list from Excel, so low stock on season staples surfaces before you run dry.

Party ledgers for schools & offices

Every school and office is a party with a running account, so bulk credit sales and outstanding dues are always clear and collectable.

Bulk orders to invoice

Take a large order for a school or office, reserve stock, and convert it into a GST invoice on supply — stock and ledger update together.

GST-correct mixed baskets

Taxable stationery and nil-rated books split correctly, each with its own HSN code and rate plus round-off, so your returns reconcile cleanly.
