Where Tally Falls Short
One Desktop. One Point of Failure.
Tally runs on a single machine. Accountant out sick? Nobody touches the books. Working from home? Hope you brought a pen drive. Desktop-only accounting isn't a preference anymore. It's a liability.
GST Filing Is Still Manual
Tally's GST reports get more complex with every update. Reconciling GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B eats hours. e-Invoicing needs manual steps. Zoho Books handles GST filing, e-invoicing, and reconciliation automatically.
Zero Built-In Integrations
Tally won't connect to your bank, eCommerce channels, CRM, or payment gateway without third-party workarounds. Every integration is a custom build, and it breaks with each Tally update.
Reporting That Hasn't Changed in 20 Years
No dashboards, no drill-downs, no custom KPIs. If your "reporting" means exporting to Excel every time, that's not reporting. It's data entry with extra steps.
Everything Moves. Nothing Gets Left Behind.
We don't just move files over. Every item gets mapped, cleaned, and checked by our CA before it touches Zoho.
Every record validated against your Tally source by our CA before going live.
4 Weeks. Zero Downtime.
Tally Audit & Planning
We export and analyze your Tally data: ledger structure, voucher types, GST settings, stock groups, and custom configurations. You get a mapping document showing exactly how everything translates to Zoho.
Data Export & Transformation
Tally data exports in XML/JSON format. We transform ledger groups to chart of accounts, vouchers to transactions, party masters to contacts, and stock items to products, all cleaned and deduplicated.
Import & Verification
Everything imports into Zoho Books. Our CA validates trial balances, GST configurations, outstanding balances, and inventory valuations. Parallel run ensures nothing breaks.
Go-Live & Training
