BUSY Accounting Software is a capable business management tool used by Indian SMEs across manufacturing, trading, and services — with solid features for accounting, GST, inventory, and even BOM-based production. However, BUSY was built for accountants and business managers who work at a desktop. For a factory owner who manages production from the shop floor, needs to check stock from a mobile, or wants to get on software without hiring an implementation partner, BUSY presents the same challenges as Tally: it is powerful but complex.
Stock Register is built for Indian small manufacturers who want manufacturing software — not accounting software with manufacturing bolted on. BOM, production orders, job work, multi-godown, and GST billing are all designed for someone who runs a factory, not someone who runs a finance department.
Trusted by 2,00,000+ small businesses · No advance payment · Manufacturing from ₹3,300/year
These are the most common frustrations manufacturers report before switching.
BUSY's core product runs on Windows. Mobile access exists but is limited compared to the desktop version. A factory owner who needs to check raw material stock or raise a production order from the shop floor cannot do this effectively on BUSY's mobile offering.
BUSY has a steep learning curve. Most small manufacturers need a BUSY reseller or implementation partner to configure the manufacturing module correctly — adding cost and time before you can start using the software.
BUSY's manufacturing features — including multi-level BOM, batch tracking, and production orders — are concentrated in higher-priced plans. The base plan may not include all the features a manufacturer needs, pushing you toward the ₹10,000–₹20,000/year tier.
BUSY's interface reflects its accounting roots — ledgers, voucher types, and journal entries are central to how it works. A small manufacturing business owner who wants to manage production without accounting knowledge finds BUSY difficult to navigate independently.

Built for the factory floor — not the accountant's desk.
BUSY's desktop-first design means you need a PC to use it properly. Stock Register's Android app provides full manufacturing functionality — production orders, stock checks, job work challan, and GST invoices — from your phone on the factory floor. For a small manufacturer who is constantly moving between the store, the production floor, and customer meetings, this matters enormously.
BUSY typically requires a reseller or implementation partner to configure the manufacturing module — adding cost and weeks before you can start. Stock Register is designed to be set up independently. Create your products, define your BOMs, and enter opening stock — done in under an hour. The 7-day free trial gives you full access with no commitment so you can verify everything works before paying.
BUSY is an accounting software with manufacturing features. Stock Register is a manufacturing software with integrated accounting and billing. The difference shows in every screen: Stock Register's flow is Raise Production Order → Check Raw Materials → Confirm → Stock Updates. You never need to touch a ledger or a journal voucher to manage production.
BUSY's pricing escalates significantly when you need the full feature set — batch tracking, multi-level BOM, and production management are concentrated in higher-tier plans. Stock Register's ₹3,300/year Manufacturing plan includes every manufacturing feature with no upsells. The only upgrade is the Manufacturing Plus plan at ₹6,600/year, which adds staff access for 3 additional users.
