A simpler alternative to Marg for the retail medical store

Where the two are different

This is not a list of things one does and the other does not. Both bill a medicine with a batch and an expiry. The difference is what surrounds the bill: Marg surrounds it with an ERP; Bilzy surrounds it with as little as possible.

When Bilzy Pharmacy is the better fit

• One counter, or one counter and a phone
• You want to set it up yourself, this afternoon, from the website
• You want one yearly price, with updates and support inside it
• Your accountant works in Tally and just needs the vouchers
• Staff change, and the next person has to bill on day one

When Marg is the better fit

• Several branches on one stock, or a warehouse feeding shops
• Distribution: salesman routes, party-wise schemes, outstanding across hundreds of retailers
• Full double-entry accounting inside the billing software
• A dealer nearby you already trust for setup and visits

What Bilzy Pharmacy does

• Batch-wise stock with expiry and MRP; billing picks the earliest-expiry batch first (FEFO)
• Cut-strip selling — 3 tablets from a 10-tablet strip, priced, stocked and profited per tablet
• Purchase bill entry that becomes stock as you type it, with scheme, free goods and trade discount worked into the cost
• Schedule H1 register with doctor, registration number and patient details, as Rule 65 requires
• GST invoices with HSN and rate-wise summary; GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B as JSON for the offline tool
• Quick Bill: a picture grid of medicines you tap, with "t pill"-style search that finds T-Pill
• Parties in one place — every customer and supplier, bill-wise collection, statement, export
• Expiry, short-expiry and low-stock reports you can walk the shelves with
• Sale-wise and day-wise profit, after discount and after the GST you claim back
• Loyalty points, salesman commission, refill reminders on WhatsApp
• Thermal 58 mm / 80 mm and A4 / A5 printing across fourteen invoice designs
• Tally export (XML vouchers) for the accountant
• The national list of 3.3 lakh medicines kept on the PC itself, so it works with no internet
• Updates itself on the Windows PC; nothing to reinstall

Moving from Marg

Export the item list from Marg to Excel and upload it — medicines, batch, expiry, MRP and stock become the opening shelf. Party opening balances come in the same way. Bilzy keeps the old data untouched; you can run both for a week and decide.
