- Tally is great for accounts but not built for weight billing or section stock.
- Steel needs kg/tonne billing, theoretical/actual weight and transport.
- Many traders bill and stock in purpose-built software, then use Tally for accounts.
Steel traders often start on Tally because their accountant uses it. Tally is excellent for accounting — but steel trade needs weight-based billing, section-wise stock, theoretical/actual weight and transport that Tally wasn't designed 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 steel
- No native weight-based (kg/tonne) billing
- No theoretical vs actual weight handling
- Weak size- and section-wise stock
- No transport/freight on deals
- No weighbridge integration
