Mobile shop software versus Tally
Key takeaways
  • Tally is great for accounts but not built for IMEI, warranty or service jobs.
  • Phone retail needs IMEI tracking, EMI, exchange and repair management.
  • Many shops bill and stock in purpose-built software, then use Tally for accounts.

Mobile retailers often start on Tally because their accountant uses it. Tally is excellent for accounting — but phone retail needs IMEI tracking, warranty, EMI and service management that Tally wasn't built for. Here's an honest comparison.

Where Tally works

For books, GST returns and ledgers, Tally is strong and worth keeping.

Where it falls short for mobiles

  • No IMEI/serial capture and lookup
  • No warranty tied to the device
  • No EMI/finance-scheme handling
  • No repair/service job management
  • No old-phone exchange within the bill
