Our Story
Smart Stockist was born in 2009 from a vision by Umar Farooq — to make billing software easy for everyone to use and help business owners gain clear visibility into their operations, enabling them to make informed decisions and grow their businesses.
Digitising India's Distribution Backbone
India's business sector is the backbone of the country's supply chain, yet it remains one of the least digitised industries. Millions of crores in trade still happen through manual registers, WhatsApp groups, and error-prone spreadsheets.
SmartStockist is changing that. We combine deep domain expertise with modern software engineering to give every stockist — from a single-location operation to a 50-branch conglomerate — the same quality tools that Fortune 500 companies use.
Mission-Driven
We exist to make technology accessible for every Indian stockist and distributor, regardless of company size.
Innovation First
We continuously invest in R&D to bring the latest cloud, AI, and mobile technologies to your fingertips.
Customer Obsessed
Every feature we ship starts with a customer interview. Your success is our success.
