Tally is the go-to accounting software for millions of Indian businesses. But as your business grows, Tally's limitations become apparent. Here's why many Indian companies are migrating to ERPNext.
Key Differences
Inventory Management
Tally offers basic inventory. ERPNext provides batch tracking, serial numbers, warehouse management, and multi-warehouse support.
GST Compliance
Both handle GST well, but ERPNext offers better e-way bill generation, GSTR reports, and input tax credit tracking.
Multi-Company
Tally handles multiple companies. ERPNext goes further with inter-company transactions, consolidated reports, and role-based access.
