A widely-used desktop accounting software in India developed by Tally Solutions, known for basic bookkeeping, GST compliance, and inventory management for small businesses.
Tally (now TallyPrime) has been the dominant accounting software for Indian SMEs since 1986. It operates as a desktop application with a keyboard-driven interface. Key features include double-entry bookkeeping, GST return filing, inventory management, payroll basics, and statutory compliance. However, Tally has significant limitations: it's desktop-only (not cloud-native), multi-user access requires LAN, real-time collaboration is limited, and it lacks modern features like bank feeds, e-invoicing API integration, and mobile access. Many businesses are migrating from Tally to cloud ERP solutions for remote access and automation.
A small shop uses Tally for daily sales entry, GST calculation, and printing invoices. As the business grows to multiple branches, they face challenges: no real-time data sharing, manual bank reconciliation, and no mobile access for the owner — prompting migration to a cloud solution.

Desktop-only (no cloud access), limited multi-user capability, no real-time bank feeds, basic inventory (no barcode/batch tracking), manual data backup, no API integrations, no mobile app, and limited multi-branch management. These become critical as businesses scale.
