Billing software for cosmetics and personal care shops
A cosmetics shop has hundreds of small items, each with a barcode and an MRP, and two GST rates side by side: shampoo and soap at 5%, make-up and perfume at 18%. MudraERP keeps the rate on each item, so scanning is all the cashier has to do.
GST at 5% and 18% Units: pcs, ml, g, box Prices include GST
How a cosmetics business runs on MudraERP
Low-stock badges flag the shades and sizes that sell out. Beauty parlours that buy products on credit run accounts in Dues. Purchase bills from distributors add stock and input GST, and the stock sheet keeps the counted shelf and the books in step.
Scan everything
Barcodes on every item; search by any 3 digits of a barcode too.
5% and 18% side by side
Personal care at 5% and make-up at 18%, set once on each item.
Low-stock badges
Shades and sizes that run low show up at the counter and on the dashboard.

Questions from cosmetics owners
Can I track expiry dates?
Not as batches yet. Count the shelf on the stock sheet regularly and keep near-expiry stock as its own item if you discount it.
Each shade has its own barcode. Is that a problem?
No. Each shade is its own item with its own barcode and stock, and search finds them all by name.
Can parlours buy on credit?
Yes. Their bills sit in Dues with ageing, and a WhatsApp reminder with a pay link goes out in one tap.
Which GST rates does MudraERP set up for a cosmetics business?
The Cosmetics setup offers 5% and 18%, with new items starting at 18% and prices including GST. Soap, shampoo, hair oil and toothpaste are 5% under GST 2.0; make-up, skin care preparations and perfumes stay at 18%. These are starting points: confirm the rate for each item with your CA.
