Tally Alternative for Manufacturing

The Tally Alternative Indian Manufacturers Actually Use

If you are using Tally for your manufacturing business and feeling like it was built for your accountant — not for you — you are right. Tally is India's best accounting software. It is not India's best manufacturing software. Setting up BOMs requires journal voucher knowledge. Production orders need an accountant to configure. And you cannot raise a production order from your phone on the factory floor.

Stock Register is what Tally should have been for small manufacturers. Set up in 30 minutes. Works on Android. BOM to production order in 3 clicks. ₹3,300/year, all included.

Why manufacturers leave TallyPrime

You are not alone. These are the frustrations that bring most manufacturers here.

💻

You cannot use it on your phone

Tally runs on Windows. If you need to check raw material stock, raise a production order, or create a GST invoice while on the factory floor — you cannot. Stock Register works fully on Android.

You needed a Tally trainer just to set up BOMs

BOM configuration in Tally uses voucher types and stock group logic that manufacturing owners shouldn't need to understand. Most paid a Tally partner ₹5,000–₹20,000 just to get the manufacturing module working.

₹8,100/year — before cloud access or multi-user

Tally Gold starts at ₹8,100/year for one desktop user. Add cloud hosting for mobile access: another ₹6,000–₹24,000/year. Stock Register is ₹3,300/year, cloud-native, all features included.

Every production order feels like accounting

Confirming a production batch in Tally means creating manufacturing vouchers with correct debit/credit entries. In Stock Register: select product → auto-calculate raw materials → confirm. Done.
