The short answer
If you are looking for the best jewellery software in India, look for one system that handles billing, stock, GST, Girvi, karigar work and accounts — and keeps working without the internet. CaratOS by ScalarThink Innovations Pvt. Ltd. is built exactly for that: a complete, offline jewellery ERP software made for Indian jewellers, retailers and wholesalers.

What Indian jewellers need from software
A jewellery business is not an ordinary retail shop. Every piece has a weight and a purity, metal rates change daily, old gold comes back across the counter, karigars hold your metal, and many jewellers also run a Girvi (gold loan) book. Generic billing apps were not built for this. Before you choose any jewellery shop software, check that it covers all of the following:
GST billing
GST invoices and returns for regular and composition dealers.
Tagged and batch inventory
Barcode labels, stock tally and low-stock alerts — gram-level control of every piece.
Old metal and refinery
Old gold and silver billing, exchange and refinery tracking.
Girvi (gold loan)
Pledges, interest, top-ups, releases and auctions with full history.
Karigar and job work
Issue and receipt of metal, orders and job work in one place.
Schemes and CRM
Gold saving schemes and a complete customer history.
Real accounting
Cash, bank, gold and silver books — not just billing, but the full ledger.
Works offline
Billing never stops when the internet does.
Why CaratOS is the right fit
CaratOS was designed around the way Indian jewellers actually work. Instead of stitching together a billing app, a spreadsheet for stock and a separate accounting package, CaratOS puts the whole business in one place — so every sale, purchase, loan and job updates the same books.
Billing and GST
Fast jewellery billing software for sales, purchases, returns and old metal, with custom invoice templates and GST modules for both regular and composition dealers.
Inventory, barcode and tagging
Tagged and batch inventory with barcode labels, stock tally and low-stock alerts. Your jewellery inventory software should tell you exactly what is on the shelf — CaratOS does.
Old metal, orders, karigar and job work
Track old metal and refinery, customer orders and every gram issued to and received from karigars. It works as karigar management software without a separate tool.
Schemes and CRM
Run gold saving schemes and keep a full history for every customer — purchases, schemes and loans — in one place.
Accounting that jewellers trust
Cash, bank, gold and silver books, payments, receipts, journals, expenses and income — real jewellery accounting software with GST, with reports and registers ready when you need them.
Why offline matters in India
Internet outages happen — often at the worst moment, like a busy festival or wedding season rush. Cloud-only tools stop billing when the connection drops. CaratOS is offline jewellery software: it runs on the computers in your shop, keeps your data on your own machines and includes backup and restore.
Retail and Girvi on one set of books
Many Indian jewellers also lend against gold and silver. CaratOS includes full Girvi software — pledges with complete history, interest calculation, top-ups, releases, auctions, third-party transfers, Girvi statements and document storage.
With CaratOS Pro, your showroom and your Girvi book share one set of parties, cash and bank accounts, so you see the whole business — not two disconnected systems. If lending is your main work, CaratOS Girvi is built as dedicated gold loan software for jewellers.
Which CaratOS edition to choose
CaratOS comes in six editions, so you only pay for what your business needs:
| Edition | Best for |
|---|---|
| CaratOS Lite | A smaller shop starting with billing, stock and GST. |
| CaratOS Lite Plus | A growing shop that has outgrown the basics. |
| CaratOS Standard | A full retail showroom that buys, makes and sells jewellery. |
| CaratOS Girvi | A business whose main work is lending against gold and silver. |
| CaratOS Pro | A showroom that also runs a Girvi book — both on the same records. |
| CaratOS Prime | The most complete, advanced CaratOS for larger jewellers. |
