GehnaERP vs JewelKhata
GehnaERP is jewellery ERP software aimed at retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers who want billing, stock, accounting and related tools in one system. JewelKhata is much smaller in scope on purpose: an offline, encrypted mobile app for a single jewellery shop to keep its khata, orders, girvi register and stock private on one phone.

When GehnaERP is the better choice
GehnaERP is generally the better choice for a jewellery business that needs a full ERP: GST billing, detailed stock and tagging workflows, accounting, multiple counters or branches, staff roles and reports for management. These systems are typically set up with the vendor's help and used on computers as well as phones. If you are running a larger or multi-store operation, an ERP like this is the right class of tool.
When JewelKhata is the better choice
JewelKhata is the better choice for an owner-run single shop that wants something simple, private and instant: install from the Play Store or App Store, set a PIN and start writing entries. There is no account, no server and no setup project. Data stays on the phone, AES-encrypted, protected by PIN, fingerprint / Face ID, auto-lock and a Decoy PIN — and it works with no internet at all.
Bottom line
Who should choose which: choose GehnaERP (or a similar jewellery ERP) if you need GST billing, accounting, tagging, multiple counters or branches and staff access in one system. Choose JewelKhata if you are a single shop owner who mainly needs a private digital bahi-khata — customer udhar, orders with advance, girvi with automatic interest, stock and parcels — on your own phone with no cloud. The two can also sit side by side: the ERP for formal billing, JewelKhata for your private register.
How to start JewelKhata alongside or instead of an ERP
- List your active customers, pending orders and open girvi entries from your current system.
- Install JewelKhata, set your PIN, and (optionally) set a Decoy PIN.
- Add customers with opening balances, then open orders with the advance received.
- Enter open girvi items with the original date and monthly interest %, so interest till today matches.
- Take a password-encrypted backup and store the file somewhere safe that you control.
