TallyPrime is India's most-used accounting software — but it was designed for accountants, not for factory floors. Indian small manufacturers in Rajkot, Surat, Jaipur, and Coimbatore consistently report the same problems: BOM setup requires an accountant or Tally trainer, production orders are not mobile-friendly, and the annual licence starts at ₹8,100 — before you add any manufacturing features.
Stock Register was built from the ground up for Indian small manufacturers who need BOM management, production orders with auto stock deduction, job work tracking, and GST billing — all in one affordable app that works on an Android mobile without any installation or training.
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.
TallyPrime requires a Windows PC or laptop for full functionality. The mobile app is limited. If you manage your factory from the floor, Tally simply does not work the way you work.
BOM configuration in Tally requires understanding of voucher types, stock groups, and manufacturing journal entries. Most small manufacturers need to hire a Tally trainer or accountant just to get started.
TallyPrime's base Gold license is ₹8,100/year for a single user. Multi-user and cloud access add significantly to this. For a small manufacturing unit, this is a large upfront commitment without a free trial.
Tally's manufacturing module uses journal voucher logic that manufacturing business owners find confusing. Creating a production order, linking it to a BOM, and auto-deducting stock requires multiple steps and accounting knowledge.

Built for the factory floor — not the accountant's desk.
A small manufacturer needs to raise a production order from the shop floor, check raw material stock from the godown, and send a job work challan from the cutting unit — all on a phone. Stock Register's Android app does all of this natively. Tally requires a PC.
With Stock Register, you create your products, add your BOMs, and enter opening stock — and you are live. There is no chart of accounts to configure, no voucher types to create, no Tally partner to call. Most manufacturers are fully set up in under an hour.
TallyPrime's Gold license starts at ₹8,100/year before any manufacturing configuration or cloud access. Stock Register's Manufacturing plan is ₹3,300/year with all BOM, production order, job work, and multi-godown features included — and it works in your browser without any additional cost.
In Stock Register, confirming a production order automatically deducts raw materials and adds finished goods. Creating an invoice automatically reduces finished goods stock. Everything stays connected without any manual journal entries. In Tally, each of these steps requires separate voucher entries that must be configured to connect correctly.
