Keep the accounting. Add the factory.
Most of our customers ran Tally for years, and their CA still likes it. This page respects that — and shows the questions a factory asks between vouchers.
What TallyPrime is genuinely good at
Stated first, because it is true — and because you already know it.
Accounting depth a CA trusts
Two decades of Indian practice. Every CA can work a Tally file — an ecosystem we do not have.
Fast for a trained operator
Keyboard-first voucher entry is genuinely quick once learned.
Fully offline, perpetual licence
Silver ₹22,500 + GST once (single user); Gold ₹67,500 (one office LAN). Only the TSS service renews.
Where a factory outgrows it
It knows what you sold, not what the floor did
No stages, no machines, no scrap reasons. Production is reconstructed from inventory journals — which is why Tally factories keep a parallel Excel.
“Tally needs an operator”
The owner rarely touches it. The truth of the business arrives as Friday printouts, filtered through one person’s typing.
One machine, one office
The licence lives on a computer. The gate, the godown and the travelling owner see nothing live.
It rarely refuses
Backdated edits, deleted vouchers, renumbered bills — flexibility a tax officer reads differently than the operator meant it.
Sentences owners actually say
“Tally needs an operator — I get the reports on Friday.”
“My CA has the data, not me.”
“Production entries are made at month end, from the notebook.”
What switching honestly costs
Bring balances, not history — items, parties, opening stock at cost, owed and owing bill by bill. Exactly what an accountant does at year-start. The import wizard reads the Excel that Tally itself exports, and your CA can keep Tally for filing as long as they like.
What TallyPrime has that we don’t — yet
- Offline — Tally works through a power cut on the machine it is installed on. We hold a dead spot (old screens, queued attendance and breakdowns), but billing needs a connection.
- The CA ecosystem — every accountant knows Tally; we are new.
- E-invoice and e-way generation, TDS, a closed-period balance sheet — theirs today, our roadmap.

TallyPrime was built for many kinds of business. SutraBook was built for yours.
Built for factories, with India’s GST native. Stock that matches the shelf, GST that checks itself, wages from attendance — one thread. Bring the Excel you already keep — judged before written.
