A cloud alternative to Marg ERP

Marg ERP is widely used by Indian pharma distributors, chemists and FMCG distributors, with strong batch/expiry and distribution features. Businesses look for a Marg alternative when they want cloud access, a single ledger across companies, approvals, or modules beyond distribution. WebSoftOS has batch and expiry inventory, GST and accounting on a cloud ERP, and we have migrated a live Marg dataset (parties, items, batches and balances) for a medical-devices distributor.
