Move queues fast on every counter, keep shelves full of what sells, control shrinkage, and see the day's real profit before you lock up.
Software for a supermarket is what you use to bill fast on every counter, keep shelves full of what sells, and see where stock is disappearing.
Thousands of items, thin margins and short shelf lives mean nobody can watch it all. Small leaks — a wrong rate, an expired batch, an offer that lost money — become big numbers quietly. PeppyBooks counts them so you can see them.
See sales, margin and shrinkage every single day.
Know what to reorder without walking the aisles.

An honest look. Each of these is good at what it was built for — the question is whether your billing, your stock and your accounts end up as one thing or several.

Where each is strong: Tally is a genuine strength if you want your books on your own computer and your accountant already knows it. Zoho Books and QuickBooks are strong cloud accounting products, particularly for service businesses. A dedicated package for your trade may fit that trade's specific needs very well. PeppyBooks is best suited for supermarket businesses that want the bill, the stock and the accounts to be one record, across more than one location.

Most supermarket businesses we talk to are on billing machines and a stock register. You do not have to stop working to change.
Nothing switches off. Set PeppyBooks up alongside what you use today.
Your items, customers and opening stock in a spreadsheet — we load them for you.
Run one real day, or one real cycle, and compare it with your own numbers.
Only then. Guided migration is free on annual plans.
Your items, customers and opening stock come across, and we check your opening balances against your existing books before you go live. Old records stay where they are for your reference.
