What is EdgeRetail and how does it compare to Vyapar and Marg ERP?
EdgeRetail is an offline-first retail operating system built for Indian shopkeepers, supermarkets, kirana stores, pharmacies, apparel outlets, and multi-branch retail businesses. Unlike traditional accounting apps like Vyapar or legacy ERPs like Marg, EdgeRetail combines sub-second (<0.2s) barcode scanning, 100% offline local database billing, automated WhatsApp catalog ordering, and digital Udhar Khata ledgers with automated UPI payment links.
Does EdgeRetail work without an active internet connection?
Yes. EdgeRetail is engineered offline-first. All billing, inventory tracking, and thermal printing operations function 100% locally on embedded SQLite/IndexedDB engines without internet. All sales and inventory data automatically sync to the cloud as soon as connection is restored.
Is EdgeRetail fully compliant with Indian GST regulations?
Yes. EdgeRetail produces GST-compliant tax invoices for B2B and B2C sales with tax slabs (0%, 5%, 12%, 18%, 28%), HSN/SAC code lookup, state code identification, and one-click exports for GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3B filing.
