Questions people ask

Is Stockivio good for inventory-heavy trading like Busy?

Yes. Stockivio handles multi-unit items, batches with expiry, price lists, challans, purchase and sales returns, and stock across branches and warehouses, with GST worked out on every document.

Do I need BUSY Online or a server to use Stockivio from home?

No. Stockivio is already in the cloud. Open it in a browser from any computer or phone.

Can I keep billing if the internet goes down?

Stockivio needs an internet connection. Many shops keep a mobile hotspot as a backup. If you often work offline, a desktop product like Busy may suit you better.
