Why we built it
Footwear wholesale is cartons, sizes and long credit
You buy from factories in cartons, each with a fixed mix of sizes. Most retailers buy full cartons, but some want a few pairs of one size. Orders often come through brokers, goods go through transporters, and credit of 45 to 90 days is common.
Keeping track of all this in a register, or in software meant for shops, leads to the same problems again and again. Size stock goes wrong when a carton is opened. Broker commission is argued over. A missing consignment means digging through LR slips.
Milaan ERP knows that a carton is a set of sizes. Bill by carton and each size is reduced from stock; open a carton and sell pairs, and stock still adds up. Brokers, transporters and credit terms sit on every invoice, so nothing is lost.
Owners can check sales, stock and dues from their phone, wherever they are.
Day-to-day headaches
What makes footwear wholesale hard, and how we fix it
These are the issues footwear wholesalers tell us about most often.
-
Opened cartons ruin the count
Once a carton is opened to sell loose pairs, size-wise stock stops matching.
Cartons and pairs, both tracked
Each carton knows its size mix. Sell cartons or pairs and every size is updated correctly.
-
Broker commission disputes
Rates differ by broker and are worked out by hand, leading to arguments every month.
Commission worked out per bill
Set each broker’s rate once. The software calculates commission on every invoice they bring.
-
Wrong GST on costly articles
Some articles cross ₹2,500 per pair and need a higher rate, which staff often miss.
Rate picked by price per pair
The software checks the per-pair rate after discount and applies 5% or 18% on its own.
-
Transport details go missing
LR numbers are on separate slips and hard to find when a retailer says goods didn’t arrive.
LR on every invoice
Record transporter and LR on the bill. Search by LR to find the consignment in seconds.

GST made simple
Two GST rates on footwear, handled per pair
Footwear is taxed by the price of each pair. Since September 2025, pairs billed at up to ₹2,500 attract 5% GST and pairs above ₹2,500 attract 18%. On a wholesale invoice with several articles, both rates often appear together.
Milaan ERP checks the per-pair rate of every line after discount and applies the right GST. E-way bill details are ready for consignments above ₹50,000, and your monthly GST figures are ready for your CA.
Tip: The ₹2,500 limit is a setting. If the rule changes, update it once and every invoice follows.
- Right slab on every lineBased on per-pair rate after discount.
- E-way billsDetails ready for consignments over ₹50,000.
- E-invoice (IRN)For wholesalers above the turnover limit.
- GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summariesExport the month in one click.
- Purchase registerInput tax from factory bills recorded as you go.

E-way bill details come straight from the invoice for consignments above ₹50,000, so nothing needs to be typed twice.
